“We did not have a great experience, and even requested a refund (which I don't remember ever doing) which was ignored. I generally write positive reviews. The minibus was really a European minivan. I'm only 5'10" and my knees were cramped. We only went with one other couple but it was 1 in front and 3 of us in the middle. We had already learned quite a bit about Helsinki as we had been there a couple days, but we were expecting more as we love to learn the history. In reality it was a bit of time driving around Helsinki and pointing out a few things...but nothing in-depth or…”

“How enjoyable a tour it was and how informative Paulo is on all things in Helsinki. Both the tour and Paulo were both very impressive, on all facts and he appeared to know about this very lovely city in a very enthusiastic fashion. i admire the fact that someone living in a city that he was not from originally has given his heart and soul to getting to know all about the culture. I would recommend Paulo to everyone and anyone I will ever meet who plans or that I can also encourage to visit the city and all things Finland. Note to Paulo thank you for your patience and…”

“We were hoping for historical storytelling that included the why’s and how’s of what creates the Finnish city and culture. Rather, things were just pointed out with the dates it was built. The transportation was lovely except for we kept asking for the heat. We had to scrape the frost off the inside of the windows to see the landmarks. There was a photo book for us to look through and our guide didn’t even know what it was or talked about it. This tour was way too expensive for what we experienced. When we got back to the hotel, we spent the next hour or so researching what we…”
