Hello! My name is Arja and I really enjoy helping visitors get the best out of their trip to Helsinki - which I believe to be one of the best cities in the world! I am a professional Helsinki Tourist Guide qualified to guide throughout the whole of Helsinki providing quality private tours customised to your requirements. In a previous life I was a tour guide in Greece, Spain and Italy so I am more than experienced with both large and small groups. I am especially interested in Scandinavian history, art, architecture, design, Jean Sibelius, cycling, hiking, meeting people and. . . . sauna! My tours can be tailored to suit your needs and interests. Day trips to medieval city of Porvoo, surrounding countryside or the National Park of Nuuksio can also be arranged on request. I am positive and friendly. I enjoy meeting new people and do everything I can to help guests to make the most of their visit in Helsinki. I have been told by guests on my tours that I have a great sense of humour and really know my stuff! I hope you will agree with them. If you are an elderly person or have children with you, no problems, we will discover Helsinki "your" way together. If you are looking for a local guide to provide you with an informative, entertaining and affordable private tour of Helsinki, look no further! Contact me and I can help ensure you have a memorable visit to Finland! See you soon -you're most welcome to Helsinki! Licensed Helsinki Guide and Hyvinkää Guide Licensed Suomenlinna Unesco Sea Fortress Guide Licensed Vallisaari and Kuninkaansaari Islands guide Traditional Finnish Sauna Treatments specialist I want to give you my undivided attention so I do not drive. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and a driver.

    Dear Tony, Thank you for your kind feedback. I too enjoyed sharing my home town with you on your stop over. It was a great pleasure to guide. All the best to you and your lovely family far away in Australia. Kind regards, Arja

    Arja was a stellar tour guide. She went over and beyond to accommodate my specific preferences as well as an unforeseen delay in travel. Tours by Locals with Arja as my guide was the perfect way to spend a long layover in Helsinki. Arja and her husband picked me up from the airport and tailored my tour around the art and architecture that I am interested. They were...

    Arja and Timo were funny, kind, thoughtful, delightful, inventive hosts for my 2.5-day visit to Helsinki. They went above and beyond to ensure that we saw the right sites at the right time, escaped the tour crowds, got to linger at the right places, and sample the many culinary delights of Finland. Timo was an incredibly informative nature guide (I learned a ton about how...
