Was a great tour! Our tour was up graded to half a vehicle tour and half of a walking tour. Our guide provided an excellent tour of the city highlights and many out of the way, points of interest. Could never have seen so much on our own. This tour is one I can highly recommend.

Excellent day in Helsinki!
