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.
