Guide #35378

Hello! My name is Timo. I am a Nature and Wilderness guide and an authorized Helsinki guide. I live in the Helsinki metropolitan area, and I would love to be your personal guide to Helsinki, including Unesco World Heritage site Suomenlinna sea fortress. I can take you to Nuuksio for a wilderness tour, or to Porvoo. Helsinki has a lot to see, like our monumental center from the autonomy period and Suomenlinna, which is a real must to visit! In Helsinki there are many wonderful sites to visit: The Helsinki Music Center Musiikkitalo, Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, Rock Church, Helsinki Art Museum HAM, Art museum Ateneum - and of course, the great Market Square with all the people, tourists and ships of the harbor. I am authorized guide in Helsinki and Suomenlinna fortress, so we can customize a day tour that includes the best places to visit. I can take you to Nuuksio wilderness area to hike and make pancakes on an open fire, get the Real Finnish Sauna Experience, and of course, during winter time, try the icy water dip from the sauna. I have my own personal Air Controlled car Toyota Avensis / 2011, which I can use to take you to a personal visit around Helsinki sites and Nuuksio. There are places for 2 - 3 passengers in my car. If your group size is bigger, let's say 5, I can rent a bigger van with 8 seats. I will drive the car myself. If your team is larger, I can hire a mini-bus of 16 or 30 seats with a professional driver. Also, a 66 seat bus can be arranged. You are heartily welcome to visit Helsinki and to participate in my tours! Welcome to Finland! Professional and authorized travel guide authorized in Helsinki and Hyvinkää areas.

    Our day started with some heavy rain, and some confusion as to where to meet Timo. There was a marathon-type event, so once we were gathered , the challenges of this and the weather were overcome by his navigational skills, and he made the itinerary adjustments to keep us dry, and still see all the highlights. He was very informative, accommodating and friendly. We...

    We had such a nice day in Helsinki with Timo! We went to Sibelius Park, the Rock Church, the Olympic Stadium and many more places. One of the most interesting was the Oodi Library! We had time for reindeer hot dogs in the market. He was interesting and we all really enjoyed the day!

    Timo was terrific. He understood that I wanted to explore nature and Birdwatch. He took me to two parks and to the wetlands. He went out of his way for me and I enjoyed myself immensely.
