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.
