Anna provided a vast range of knowledge about the history, politics, culture, art, architecture and lifestyle of both Helsinki and Finland. Anna's tour's "USP" lies definitely in her personal biography: As she grew up in Russia (St. Petersburg) and later moved to Helsinki, she offers the different angles of views especially on the historical and political topics, which we thought was essential to get (at least a basic) understanding of Helsinki and Finland. On top of that Anna is lively, kind and tries to provide a very personal tour according to your interests. Highly recommendable!Interested in Helsinki? Let Ann take over!

With many Withlocals tours, I strongly recommend Anna and her vast Helsinki experience. Her complete knowledge of Finnish, Swedish and Russian history made the tour a lasting memory. Additionally, she allowed and answered every question we had with a smile that never ended. Anna checks all the boxes for a wonderful day. Anna is the best guide ever!
