I’m an authorized Helsinki guide with academic training as a historian. I’ve lived in the city center for over a decade and know both the major landmarks and the hidden corners you won’t find in guidebooks. Whether you want the classics or something more local and off the beaten path, I’ll tailor the tour to your interests. I’d be happy to show you the Helsinki I know and love!
