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.

I´m an experienced tour guide and a world traveller. Learning and understanding new cultures has always been exciting for me. As an easygoing personality, I always enjoy meeting new people from all over the world.

You are welcome to attend just as you are.

It makes me so happy to welcome you to My City <3
