About Tour Guide Tatiana M.
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.

Medieval Porvoo: Travel Back in Time
45km from Helsinki is located the 2nd oldest city in Finland, Porvoo! Let's drive there together, walk cobble streets, enter Cathedral, have a look at local souvenirs, eat local pastry and breathe the lifestyle of Swedish Finland from 18th century. Peace, wooden houses, picturesque views and no cars... this is what a dream place in Finland is like.

Helsinki and Porvoo: Historical Combo of Finland
This is my favourite tour, as it allows walking through 2 cities in 1 day. In Helsinki we see the 19th century capital with wide streets, classical architecture and also modern vibe. Porvoo, in contrast, is old, wooden, cozy, empty, cobblestone and silent. Let yourself feel the difference, have the blend of old new, big and small, noisy and silent. Experience the richness of Finnish culture!

“Lovely and definitely a YES”
Tatiana provided us with a wonderful and memorable tour through Helsinki. We only had about three hours during a layover. She picked us up and we did a tour via auto through the city. We stopped for some short walks and photo ops, and enjoyed a lovely cafe. Her knowledge of the area is remarkable! I highly recommend booking with her!

Timo R.
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.

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.

I am a certified Helsinki guide with a traveler’s sense of direction and feel for people. I will gladly guide you in much loved Helsinki, the town that indeed will become your love at first sight. Hear the story behind the architecture and explore the photogenic spots around Helsinki! Food is my other biggest passion which I am sure we’ll be talking about if we have a chance to meet.
