About this activity

Come explore Helsinki with me in a relaxed, friendly way — like spending the day with a local who knows the city inside out.

This is a private tour just for you and your guests, where we’ll mix driving and easy walking to see both the main highlights and some hidden gems. Along the way, we’ll stop whenever you like for photos, short walks, or just to enjoy the atmosphere.

I’ve lived here for over 23 years, so I’ll share not only the history and culture, but also what everyday life in Finland is really like — the little things you don’t find in guidebooks.

We’ll chat about:

Finnish culture and traditions
Local lifestyle and daily life
History (without it feeling like a lecture!)
Cool spots, views, and local favorites

I’m an official Helsinki tour guide, but I like to keep things easygoing, flexible, and personal.

Have something special in mind? Just let me know — before or even during the tour — and we can adjust the plan to suit you.
