You know how nice it is to have even a distant friend in a strange city? Even though you would not stay at their house, he´s that one lovely friend who´ll show you the best spots, who takes you behind the scenes and really helps you to experience the city the way the locals enjoy their home town.
Join me for a tour and you´ll always have such a friend in Helsinki.

Arto's 3 hour tour was chock full of historical and cultural insights. He truly knows how to read his crowd and adjust his tour to the needs and interests of those in attendance. We couldn't have done a better itinerary for our first day - after Arto's overview of the city, we were oriented and set up for success to make the most of our 2 days in the city. Thank you Arto!!

We are a group of 8 school leaders from Australia in Helsinki to visit schools. Arto is incredibly knowledgeable about this city, it's past and present. We learnt about the Finnish culture. Arto is a wonderful communicator, he's funny as well. Arto also included information and background to the education system here. We would highly recommend a walking tour with Arto.

Arto was spectacular. Sensitive, friendly, curious, flexible, open, dynamic. He took us through the streets of Helsinki, immersing us in its history. Enchanting. I think we should learn from him the art of story telling: impossible to get bored or not feel involved. Super recommended. A truly brilliant person whom I would hope to have for every trip with me. Thank you very much Arto, sometimes we still laugh at your jokes when talking to my brother. Thanks to you I fell in love with a lovely city. Long life to you, man.

Great tour. The pace was good and the information was interesting and relevant The group was not large and at the end a few of us stayed together for lunch at the market.

Now this is what I except when booking a city tour! We were a small group, allowing a very individual your, since we were able to ask all sorts of questions. Arto is a passionate your guide, making the tour interesting, varied and customer to his customers. He has a great sense of humour and a wide knowledge about the city, country and the neighbouring countries. Great your! Thanks!
