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.

The autumn time until late October is most suitable period to hike in forests and pick mushrooms! I will help you to find the funnel chanterelle mushroom, nearly the same species as chantarels. It is a 3 star mushroom and the highest ranked mushroom. These mushrooms can be picked as long as the nature is free from snow! During some autumns the last funnel chanterelles can be picked frozen in the forest. We will go to Sipoonkorpi National Park, some 30 minutes drive from Helsinki to hike and walk in the forest, have a coffee/tea break with delicious creamy mushroom sandwiches beside an official fire site. I will also tell you about the " Everyman's rights " in our forests. All you have to do is to get properly dressed with suitable hiking shoes. Our tour includes some wandering around before finding mushrooms, but you will learn how to find them!
Start from your hotel or any other place agreed: - drive to the forest - hiking and picking mushrooms - coffee/ tea break sandwiches - the tour ends at your hotel or any other area agreed There is no 100 % guarantee for finding mushrooms, although that would be very unusual. Rain in the forest is not unusual during autumn, so please wear good clothing and shoes.
Tell your guide which places matter to you, skip what doesn't, and tailor the experience for your group's needs. Not finding what you want? Message your guide to build something unique.
