About Tour Guide Arja N.

I am a professional Helsinki Tourist Guide qualified to guide throughout the whole of Helsinki including Suomenlinna Fortress Unesco World Heritage site.

In a previous life I was a tour guide in Greece, Spain and Italy, so I am more than experienced with both large and small groups. I am especially interested in Scandinavian history, art, architecture, design, Jean Sibelius, cycling, hiking, meeting people and. . . . sauna!

My tours can be tailored to suit my customers' needs and interests, e.g. day trips to medieval city of Porvoo, surrounding countryside or the National Park of Nuuksio and heritage sauna tours can also be arranged on request.

I am positive and friendly. I enjoy meeting new people and do everything I can to help guests to make the most of their visit in Helsinki. I have been told by guests on my tours that I have a great sense of humor and really know my stuff.

I also provide accessible tours for elderly with a wheelchair accessible vans.

“Fantastic!”

We had such an amazing time with Arja and Timo. They made our time in Helsinki so memorable with their knowledge, kindness, and charm. I highly recommend a tour with them!

Dear April, Thank you so much for your kind words – it truly made our day! We had a wonderful time in your company too, and it's guests like you who make this job the best one in Finland! Owen, wishing you all the best with your studies – and good luck tomorrow in the Aalto University. We'd love nothing more than to welcome you all back to Finland again someday. Kiitos ja tervetuloa uudelleen – thank you, and welcome back anytime!

“Arja and Timu...perfect guides for a perfect tour of Helsinki and Porvoo”

From our first email exchange, I suspected Arja was the perfect guide for my friends and I, 3 retired women. And I was right. That her husband Timu, also a tour guide, joined us was a bonus. Together, they led us through an informative, relaxed, and enjoyable day in Porvoo and Helsinki. Of course, they shared their knowledge of their city and country. But, their warmth and friendliness enhanced our day. I've taken many tours in many places and that means I've spent time with many guides. Arja and Timu top my list of outstanding guides and, are really nice people, too. I cannot recommend Arja and Timu more highly.

Thank you, Roberta for your kind feedback. For me to hear that you and your companions enjoyed the program and your time with us is very heartwarming. Guiding is my dream job and I always aim to deliver a wonderful experience every time and with every guest. Happy that we succeeded also with your group! I wish you and your friends all the best. Kind regards, Arja and Timo

“City Highlights Tour”

I booked with Arja a few days before our arrival in Helsinki and she was quick to respond to my request. We had an amazing tour with Arja and her husband, Timo. Picked up on time, saw lots of sites, interesting stories. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and having a good time. The day ended with sauna and a swim. Perfect ending to a fun day. Thank you Arja and Timo.

Hey Janet, thanks for the lovely review, good to meet you both! Hope to see you back in Helsinki one day; it would be wonderful to take you to a traditional Finnish sauna by a lake in summer. All the best! -Arja
