About Tour Guide Laila P.
Welcome to visit the world´s happiest nation, Finland!
Finland has been ranked the happiest nation in the world for seven years in a row. Besides being a safe, clean country with honest people, we have a fascinating history of being part of Sweden and Russia for centuries.
My passions are history and our beautiful nature, and I cannot wait to introduce you to our beautiful seaside capital, Helsinki.
I have a long history in tourism, and I put my heart into serving you a wonderful tour of Helsinki. I have been a licensed Helsinki guide since 2006, a former Finnair flight attendant, and a tour leader in Spain and Portugal.
I am a kind and very patriotic person, you will feel comfortable with me. It is about having an informative and fun day together!
Welcome to Finland!

“Sunny helsinki”
Laila loves her country and she shares her love and passion not only through her beautiful smile but also with her wide knowledge. Thanks to her itinerary we saw Helsinki with different eyes, walked through areas we would not have thought about looking at. we were 8 people from 25 to 60 and all had a lot of fun. Thank you very much Laila for your enthusiasm and joy.

Hi, my name is Timo, your local private guide in Helsinki. I am an easy-going and open-minded person. I like to interact with people from across the world and to know about their culture, language, travel interests. I am passionate about nature. In my free time I enjoy outdoor activities of all kinds. In the summer amongst other things, I love to hike, mountain bike and go kayaking. In the winter, I love to snowshoe and watch the northern lights. My professionality is also based on a long career in information technology, serving in an international company as a technical specialist. This has given me the opportunity to travel around Europe, the USA and Asia. As well as being an experienced Nature and Wilderness Guide, I am also a Golden Badge Guide (the ultimate qualification in guiding in Finland). I am also a Licenced City of Helsinki and a Licenced Suomenlinna Unesco World Heritage Guide, the City of Hyvinkää and Tuusula Guide, so wherever we go you'll be in good hands. My aim is to provide you with enthusiastic informative private tours which ensure that your Helsinki and Finland experience will be the best. My bespoke tours include walking tours or biking tours, tours by a private car, a van or a minibus. Within Helsinki we can cover the major sites or explore less well-known districts in the countryside like Nuuksio or Sipoonkorpi Wilderness areas, the picturesque small town of Porvoo, nearby towns like Tuusula and Hyvinkää are a few of the many wonderful places that can be easily reached in a day trip. My tours are very flexible in content and timing and I can adapt easily to your preferences and suggestions. For me, the best reward for guiding guests is the fun I have sharing the beauty of the place. Let me be your local guide and I will share with you not only my knowledge and expertise but my enthusiasm as well.

Welcome to my short bio! Finland is the country that is now my home and inspiration. Over the past decade I have had the privilege of sharing history and culture of this country with hundreds of visitors from all over the world. I moved to Finland in 2010, graduated from Helsinki University, enjoyed a year in Germany and understood that Finland with its granite and infinite sea is the happiest country in the world for a reason. I specialize in Helsinki and Porvoo and it would be my pleasure to show you the most significant and beautiful places of this capital region! As a local I have tips and ideas from grilling to gardens and museums! Write a message and let's make your time in Helsinki memorable and to your taste.
