Walking tour Helsinki

Published on Feb, 2025

As Helsinki is a relatively small city you really can see a lot in a Day. It doesn’t mean much though without the right guide to give the layers and stories behind each building. Zana has a passion for architecture, history and the unique culture of Finland. He was able to talk to our kids to their level of curiosity and we all agreed it was a special day.

Great Tour!

Published on Feb, 2025

We had an excellent and informative tour with Zana. We learned about Finnish culture, from their love of sauna to their appreciation for libraries. He also spoke about the architecture of Helsinki and its influences from the past, as well as the history and current interests of Finland. Zana was very attentive and interactive with our group, answering a wide variety of questions from his studies and personal experiences. It was the perfect way to dive into Helsinki!

A great tour with a very knowledgeable tour guide

Published on Jan, 2025

We loved our sightseeing tour with Zana. Zana is a very intelligent person who was able to tell us about all of the key sites of Helsinki in an informative but also entertaining way. Zana also enjoys architecture so he was able to tell us a lot about Helsinki’s buildings, which was a bonus. We highly recommend Zana as your tour guide for sightseeing in Helsinki.

A great walking tour of Helsinki

Published on Jan, 2025

Zana was terrific, his knowledge of Helsinki was impressive. We will recommend him to our friends that are visiting Helsinki.

Helsinki Highlights

Published on Jan, 2025

Excellent way to learn about the Finnish culture, traditions and experience the architecture of the city. Our guide Zana was friendly and very knowledgeable. He showed us a fascinating side of Helsinki we wouldn’t have seen by ourselves.
