1. Complete Flexibility - Tour at Your Own Pace: This is a self-guided audio tour, NOT a GPS-guided tour. You have complete freedom to choose which attractions to visit, explore in any order you prefer, start and finish wherever you like, and even split the tour across multiple days. Spend as much time as you want at each location and take breaks whenever needed.
2. How You'll Receive Your Tour Materials: On your selected travel date, before your start time, you'll receive two important links: one for your audio guides (SoundCloud) and one for your interactive map (Google My Maps). These links will be sent via your booking platform's messaging system, and also via iMessage/WhatsApp if you provided your phone number during booking. Important: While all links are fully functional, the booking platform may not display link previews due to platform restrictions. For the best experience with instant previews and one-click access, we strongly recommend providing your phone number during booking to receive links via WhatsApp or iMessage. This ensures smoother, faster access to your audio guides.
3. Using Your Audio Guides (Link 1 - SoundCloud): Open the SoundCloud link in your web browser (Safari, Chrome, etc.). You'll see a playlist of all attraction audio guides organized in a suggested order. You can listen before your tour to plan which attractions interest you most, or play them as you arrive at each location. Simply scroll through the playlist, tap any attraction to play its audio guide, and use play/pause controls as needed throughout your tour.
4. Using Your Interactive Map (Link 2 - Google My Maps): Open the Google My Maps link in your web browser - not the Google Maps app. You'll see all attractions marked with headphone icons. Navigate by either tapping directly on any headphone icon on the map, or tapping the tour title below the map to view a complete list of attractions. When you select an attraction, a popup window appears with a clickable link to that location's audio guide.
5. What to Bring & Prepare: Essential items: headphones/earphones, fully charged smartphone, and internet access. Before your visit, review both links to familiarize yourself with the attractions and audio content, then decide your priorities and create your own route or follow our suggested order.
6. Audio Guide Language Selection: Select your preferred audio guide language during booking to guarantee delivery in that language. Language selection cannot be changed after confirmation. If your preferred language isn't available during booking, you can mention it in the Special Requirements section when placing your order. However, this request must be made at least 48 hours before your selected travel date and time. We will make our best effort to prepare your requested language, but please note this is subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed. For the best assurance of receiving your preferred language, always select from the available language options during the booking process.
7. Important Notice - Attraction Fees & Your Responsibilities: While many attractions are free to visit, some may charge fees for special sections, additional services, or general admission. It is your responsibility to check opening hours, closing times, holiday schedules, advance booking requirements, and purchase any necessary admission tickets before visiting each attraction. If you need assistance accessing or using the audio guide, please contact our customer support team.

Helsinki Central Railway Station
Architectural marvel designed by Eliel Saarinen stands as one of the world's most beautiful train stations, where Art Nouveau meets Finnish National Romanticism in stunning granite facades. Your audio guide reveals the hidden symbolism in the famous lamp-bearing giants and the station's role as Helsinki's unofficial town square. Discover why this 1919 masterpiece became a symbol of Finnish independence, and learn about the secret underground tunnels that once connected to wartime shelters. The audio experience uncovers fascinating stories about the station's transformation from a modest wooden structure to today's architectural icon, including tales of the heated design competition that nearly saw a completely different vision realized.
Kaisaniemi Botanic Garden
Finland's oldest botanical sanctuary harbors over 800 plant species within its greenhouse complex, where tropical wonders thrive despite the Nordic climate. Through your audio companion, explore the garden's scientific heritage dating back to 1678 and discover how these glass houses survived both world wars. Uncover the remarkable story of how rare specimens were smuggled to safety during bombing raids, and learn about the garden's crucial role in Finland's agricultural development. The audio guide reveals hidden corners where endangered Finnish flora grows alongside exotic imports, sharing captivating tales of plant hunters who risked everything to bring botanical treasures to this northern paradise.

1.00Lack of substance! This audio tour give you nothing but generic facts from google or Wikipedia. Information on whether a sites contain cafes and eateries at a monument is not special facts. Save your money and better of read up Wikipedia or simple google.
Bad experience! Don’t waste your money. Wikipedia will help instead

1.00Terrible audio guide. It is not informative at all. Probably you can get all brief information from Wikipedia. Way too brief! Telling visitors opening time, closing time, whether there’s cafes nearby are not helpful at all. Won’t recommend this at all!
Nice way to learn a bit about the cot and it's sites
