Try to book this tour early in your Helsinki stay, as Emek’s excellent orientation will enhance your time in that beautiful city. He is knowledgeable, easygoing, friendly, and gets his (purposely small) groups into places most tourists would not get to see otherwise. I recommend him unreservedly.

Having taken varied tours in many countries, this was one of the best tours we have taken anywhere and much more than anticipated. Although branded as an architectural tour (in a country known for wonderful architects), Emek has crafted an experience to explain how the architecture cannot be understood without an understanding of the history and culture. He then proceeded to weave a story that encompassed all the above. We learned far more of the history than we had on a walking tour the previous day (which we had enjoyed). Emek was very intelligent, interesting and personable. It also helped that the other couple scheduled for the tour failed to show, having had travel difficulties, and somehow our 90 minute tour turned into 3+ hours. Highly recommended!Taking the architecture tour with Emek on our first day in Helsinki was the best way to start our visit of the city.

Taking the architecture tour with Emek on our first day in Helsinki was the best way to start our visit of the city. Our group consisted of 7 people, which turned out to be the perfect size. Emek was extremely knowledgeable and could answer absolutely all our questions (even about where to go for traditional Finnish food). We not only learned a lot about the architectural styles of buildings but also about the history of Helsinki and Finland and we profited from the information given on the tour during the rest of our stay. We can only recommend this tour with Emek!Highly recommend this architectural tour of Helsinki with Emek. Taking the tour at the beginning of your visit will help you know the layout of the city as a bonus. Truly a five star experience in this beautiful city.
