My tours are based on the joys of life I enjoy to do in Helsinki - my lovely home town. Enjoying the city vibe, boating at archipelago, and relaxing in a public sauna are the best things Helsinki has to offer. I'm happy to invite you to experience the local life style, visit the city highlights, do island hopping to Helsinki archipelago, and have an unforgettable stay in Helsinki. I see visitors booking my ToursByLocals tours more like guests not as customers.

Overview of your Helsinki tour

Welcome to a city tour to explore historical sites and Helsinki attractions. During a tour we visit the most interesting sites in Helsinki. This tour includes 'the must see' Helsinki highlights and each tour can be tailored based on your interests. Please see the suggested sites at the itinerary. After a walking tour we visit one of the the best public saunas in Helsinki and dip from the heat of sauna into the cooling Baltic Sea. You have 1-2 hours for relaxing in sauna. A visit to sauna takes you to to experience something exciting, relaxing, and very Finnish at the same time. Sauna is a centuries old tradition and essential part of everyday life in Finland. You have an opportunity to relax in one of the best saunas in the world and see Finns doing what they love the most. Traditionally nakedness is part of Finnish sauna customs. But do not worry - it's ok to wear swimwear in sauna and in a unisex sauna wearing a swimwear is required. Men and women have also separate shower and dressing rooms.
