A super tour of medieval village
We were picked at our hotel bang on time and Nick our guide made us all feel very comfortable throughout the tour. His knowledge was amazing and gave us a running commentary throughout and kept us to our plans at pace that all of us (one was in a wheel chair) were able to cope. He provided all the support at all times. A super experience of a small town having a mixture of old and new. The cobbled roads with interesting shops, cafes restaurants and bars gave us a real feeling of what life was like in the good old days

All one can for in a guide !
Nick is knowledgeable, very pleasant and introduces you to his town with insights that capture the essence of this wonderful city.
Atypical for a Finn he is open and chatty giving his tour a personal touch
As an older traveler who walks with a cane I appreciated his adjustment to our pace for my convenience.
Nick is the best !

Very entertaining city tour
We really enjoyed the tour with Emek as he gave us an interesting overview about the most important sights and the history of the city. We enjoyed the funny story about the finnish president and the stop at the café in particular! Thanks again to Emek!

Tour with Nick in Helsinki
Nick gave us an insightful tour of Helsinki during our recent stay there. It was full of big history and smaller insights as well. We thoroughly enjoyed him and the information he provided. The time just sped by.

The city tour was really enjoyable and well planned. Though the weather was really bad, Emek did his best to bring us around and introduce a lot of things to us. Certainly worth our time!

Insight into the Finnish character
Emek is an engaging and interesting tour guide who weaves great stories from the significant places in his city. Each story goes beyond the place itself to give us an insight into the national character and values that Finnish people hold. It is a personal perspective from an intelligent and involved citizen.
Definitely worthwhile - although (being a planner myself) I would have liked to hear more about planning processes and issues in the city.
I thought - compared to a food tour we did the next day for the same price - it was a little pricy given we didn't even get to sit over a nice coffee, or beer...
