Welcome to visit the world´s happiest nation, Finland!
Seven years in a row has Finland been ranked to be the happiest nation in the world. Besides being a safe, clean country with honest people, we have a fascinating history of being part of Sweden and Russia for centuries.
My passion is 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, I put my heart to serve you a wonderful tour in Helsinki. I have been a licensed Helsinki guide since 2006, a former Finnair flight attendant, and I work as a tour leader in Spain, Portugal, and Finnish Lapland.
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!

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.
