Free walking tour in the center of Tampere
Hi everyone! I am a genuine native of Tampere. I've also travelled a lot and participated in many freetours so I thought hey, why not organize them too! Tampere may not have thousands of years of history, but it is a sympathetic and beautiful city. Welcome to visit!
