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.

Let's go to a Real Wilderness forest for a hike experience!
Overview of your Helsinki tour
This tour gives you an experience of how it feels to wander in an untouched Finnish forest. We can find trees, swamps, small hills, bird sounds - and of course, the most important: silence. Finnish forests do still have locations that seem untouched my forest industry. You will have a private transport with a 8-seat van from your hotel or airport and personal guide with you all the time in the forest. We will have an easy hike in the forest, get experience how to make an open fire and grill the Real Finnish Forest Food - sausages. This tour is fully customizable according to your requests.
Your Helsinki tour itinerary
We start from Helsinki airport or hotel and drive approximately one hour with a van to the western side of Hyvinkää town, a place called Sveitsi Forest. We leave our car to the parking place at Hyyppärä and start our 5 km hike in the forest. We will have a mid-hike break beside a small swamp-pond of Iso Karhu or Kaksoslammit. There we will grill some sausages, the real Finnish Forest Food - please inform if you are not allowed to eat pork. The ponds and swamps in Sveitsi forest are deep and brown colored but clean, so you can try a swim also! Our hike continues until we return back to the car. The day ends with a return trip back to your hotel in Helsinki or airport.
