Hello, and greetings from Helsinki! A kind and professional guide is waiting to plan a memorable day for you! I am very patriotic, and history is my passion. I am proud of my independent country, which was once part of Sweden and Russia. After World War II, Finland evolved from a poor agrarian nation to a well-organized welfare state with a contented population. This clean and safe country is the place to visit. Helsinki offers fresh air, green parks, clean surroundings, and, not to mention culture, architecture, and some oddities related to attractions (and people :)) There are several excursion options, and the standard tours represent just a few. Tours can be provided to our beautiful islands with yachts/wooden vessels, cozy neighborhoods, public saunas, and even floating saunas. I think this sauna experience should be added to your bucket list :) My genuine goal is to make your tour memorable, combining informative content with fun. Come and spend a day with me! I am a humorous, flexible, professional guide, and if I can't make you smile, who can? - Licensed Helsinki guide for 19 years, freelancer - Currently Tour leader in Spain, Portugal, Istanbul/Turkey, and Thailand, as well as in Finnish Lapland for Abercrombie& Kent - Licensed guide in Suomenlinna Sea Fortress, Oodi Library, and the Olympic Stadium - Former flight attendant at Finnair - I keep annually up with my First aid skills ( May 2023) - I am an experienced driver and will have a Toyota Chr/2020 or a minivan (depending on the size of the group) for our tours

A convenient way to explore the highlights and hidden gems of our vibrant seaside city - that is by walking. You will see things that cannot be seen by bus, and there are several unique details that Helsinki reveals. All major central highlights are within a short distance, and you will certainly fall in love with this beautiful, green, and clean seaside capital. We will visit areas both in the old and the newer parts of Helsinki. Besides the attractions, I will talk about our daily lives, history, education. ...The Moomin family is perhaps the most popular family in Finland. You will meet them too ;)! ** Cruise guests: Private/public transportation with an additional fee from the port to downtown can be arranged.
I will pick you up from your hotel/port We will visit areas around the Old Neoclassical Senate Square, the Cathedral, Market Square, and the Food Market. If you have a good sense of humor, I might dare you to see a Sauna installation :) We will see the Presidential Palace, Uspenski Cathedral, City Hall, and the Supreme Court. Esplanade Park is along the route. You will also get to know our Moomin family! - Areas around the Central Railway Station are along the route - Oodi Library is a must! We will see the Parliament building, Finlandia Hall, and the Music Center from the terrace. I will take you back to your port or any other area agreed upon.
