Helsinki Walking Tours

Hey there, traveler! Moi! I'm Arto - Helsinki local, friend, and your personal guide to this fantastic city I'm lucky enough to call home. Now don't get me wrong, I’m not your typical tour guide. My friends call me 'The Happy Helsinki Buddy'. I promise to make your experience truly local and really joyous. You know how nice it is to have even a distant friend in a strange city? Well, consider me that friend here in Helsinki.

Paikallinen ja auktorisoitu Helsinki-opas - that's me, your certified Helsinki guide with a homegrown perspective. And from our city's top sights to hidden gems, I've got it all covered. Best part? With Arto's Helsinki Tours, there's no minimum number: you can be a solo adventurer or bring your friends along.

My tours are inclusive experiences that are held in säässä kuin säässä (in all weather conditions), delivering authentic impressions of Helsinki, rain or shine. Why, you ask? Because everyone deserves a safe space to explore and enjoy this beautiful city. And on my tours, you will feel welcome, respected, and happy.

Back in the day, my first claim to fame was being the first child born on Helsinki Day in 1980, and that spunky spirit of mine carries through in every tour I host. Fun fact - I even showed up on the local news when I was just a day old. Fame sure starts young in these parts!

Whether you're here for the first time or a seasoned Helsinki visitor, I want to show you the city through my eyes, filled with the love and passion I've had for it since day one.

Prepare for a tour unlike any other. Get ready for a lively journey through the lanes of Helsinki - it's not merely a walk around, it's a festival of Finnish culture, right down to the last sip of coffee in a tucked-away cafe.

Pack your curiosity and sense of adventure, and I'll bring the local knowledge, enthusiasm, and a few good Finnish puns! Join me, and you'll always have a friend in Helsinki! Welcome to my city, my friend, tervetuloa!
