Ich konnte den gebuchten Termin leider nicht wahrnehmen&bat um Stornierung. Der Guide war aber so nett und schlug einen anderen Termin vor. Den nahm ich gerne an und hatte für das gleiche Geld eine Einzelführung, die super war. Würde ich jederzeit wieder machen. Emek war eine Bereicherung des Aufenthalts dort. Ich konnte ihn auch vieles fragen was mich an dem Leben in Finnland interessiert. Auf jeden Fall lohnenswert.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! The tour was just brilliant! Emek really knows his stuff, it was so interesting I could have listened to him for days. The small group was a big plus, too. Without this tour I would have missed so much... it contributed a lot to my wonderful stay in Helsinki. Book it!

Wir waren eine nette Gruppe von fünf Teilnehmern. Emek hat uns sehr engagiert und mit interessantem Wissen begleitend durch Helsinki geführt. Eine Zeitreise durch die Epochen. Es gab eine Vielfalt an Sehenswertem zu entdecken. Wirklich toll! Jederzeit zu empfehlen.
