IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE RUNNING OF FREE TOURS IN FINLAND:
- The tours support mainly students to help finance their day to day costs of studies, and also those who are otherwise unemployed. They help us to show the city that we love, and it's only with your tips and 5 star reviews that we can continue to do this!
- We have to pay Marketing fees to Guruwalk of 2.40 euros per person - this helps them to find you, and to ultimately find us. (Hello!) :)
- Any tips you leave form a part of our taxable income, and we live in one of the more expensive countries in Europe.
- Our company also has to make a small profit, in order to train new guides, pay someone to manage your bookings/questions, scheduling rotas etc - and to buy materials such as speakers, umbrellas, and photos for folders. We don't make as much as you might thing!
We would like to request that you leave minimum 10 euros per person by cash or card if you can (we have card payment machines), or whatever you can afford - in return for 2.5 hours of our time, expertise, and knowledge.
This 10 euros equates to around 4 euros per hour - which is about the price of a cappuccino in Helsinki, and just about covers our costs - leaving the guide the possibility to make a few euros from your kind donation.
And if you are able to tip a little more for those who can't afford to tip as much, we would really appreciate it. Every euro really does help us keep investing in getting more guides, and making more free tour times available!
REVIEWS:
Guruwalk will ask for REVIEWS at the end of the tour - please keep in mind that due to Guruwalks algorithm, anything LESS than 5 stars is rated as poor by the system.
WE OFFER THE TOUR FOR FREE WITH NO GUARANTEE OF TIPS - so we hope that the tour can be worthy of 5 stars!
So please give 5 stars at the end to keep the tours going, this is worth just as much as your generosity. If you have any feedback on how we could give a better tour, please let us know by message, or to the guide in person - we always love to get better!
Thank you in advance,
