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.

    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...

    This 6.5 hour tour of the highlights of Helsinki provided and extensive and intensive introduction to this beautiful city as well as a visit to the former fortress on Suomenlinna, which is most definitely worth the time it takes to visit.
