Who are we?

An authorized guide knows Helsinki’s story and can turn it into an engaging experience. On a guided tour, participants are inspired and experience the city personally – Helsinki is not just a destination, but a hometown.

A professional guide has in-depth knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and local context, and adapts the tour to the group’s background and needs. Information is kept up to date, and strong language skills ensure smooth communication with diverse audiences.

Professionalism is also evident in ensuring visitor safety and minimizing risks. The guide instructs visitors on safety measures and assists in any issues that may arise.

As a member of the Helsinki Guides Association, the guide acts responsibly and follows sustainable principles. The association holds both the Good Travel Seal (GTS) certification and the Sustainable Travel Finland (STF) label, highlighting its commitment to high professional standards and responsible practices.
