About Tour Guide Sergio C.

My name is Sergio, and history has always been my greatest passion. Originally from abroad, I moved to Finland in 2008 to pursue my degree in engineering. What began as a study adventure soon became a life-changing commitment—I chose to stay and build my life in this tough yet inspiring country, surrounded by stories of Vikings, merchants, kings, and nations in transformation.

Over the years, I’ve combined my research in Finnish history with a natural love of storytelling, creating tours that are both informative and engaging. Whether you’re visiting Finland for a day or exploring for longer, my goal is to make the country’s past come alive for you in memorable, authentic experiences.

Join me, and let’s walk through history together—where every street has a story, and every landmark reveals a piece of Finland’s heritage.

“What a fantastic way to spend a long layover in Helsinki.”

Sergio was awesome (and so was the driver). He listened to everything I said prior to the trip, even my concerns about getting our luggage transferred from a domestic flight to an international one - he was ready with a trolley when we arrived. As we were restricted by time, and a few in our party were staying in town, he arranged the day perfectly to fit what we asked for and a few more things as well. We learnt a lot about the history of Finland, tasted many delights (some he even bought in the van himself), and had multiple options so we could adjust the day as we went along. We dropped 2 of our party at their hotel, and he provided them with pointers of other things to do, and how to get around, and had the rest of us back at the airport in plenty of time for our next flight. Can't recommend him enough. He listened to what we wanted, he adjusted the day to suit our requests. It was the best way to handle the layover.
