Fiona | Traveled in July
A great introduction to Finland and the Stockholm area. I really enjoyed the combination of walking and sightseeing. I was pleasant surprised that the walking wasn’t quite as gentle as I’d feared The Finnish countryside was stunning and this, together with the stay in Turku, were my highlights. Toni was an excellent guide, full of information and history about both his home country of Finland and Sweden. The only downside for me was the Stockholm hotel, where the room was very warm and there was a lot of street noise with the window open at night,
