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 Nuuksio National Park for a 6 km hike!
Overview of your Helsinki tour
This tour gives you an experience how it feels to hike in a Finnish Taiga forest. We will find plenty of nature sights, old trees, swamps, small ponds and have the opportunity to build an open fire beside a pond called Kämmenlampi. This tour is very easy to hike, and your guide will take care of the transportation from Helsinki to there and back. We will have a private 6-seat van driven by your guide, starting from your hotel or a customized point. You will have a personal wilderness guide (Timo) with you all the time in the forest. This tour is available all-around the year; during winter time the paths are narrow, so please have good shoes with you. This tour is fully customizable according to your requests; we can also visit the Northern Gate of Nuuksio and have a delicious dinner at a cozy Pohjoinen Pirtti Restaurant.
Your Helsinki tour itinerary
We start from Helsinki airport or hotel and drive some 1, 0 hours with a van to the northern side of the Nuuksio National Forest. We leave our car and start our 6 km hike in the forest, enjoying trees and swamps, heading against our mid-hike break beside the beautiful pond Kämmenlampi. There you will have the opportunity to build an open fire yourself with the help of your guide and grill some sausages - please inform if you are not allowed to have pork!. The ponds and lakes in the area are clean, so you can try a swim also! Then it will be the time to return to our car and return back to Helsinki and your hotel.
