This is private. Everything is done in ways you like them and you get more personal experience.

Full-day instead of half-day. This tour typically takes 6 to 10 hours, while others spend 3 hours in nature. It’s up to you how we spend the time, relaxing or hiking longer distance.

My husband and I had a wonderful day hike in Nuuksio National Park with Mikko during a recent trip to Finland in mid June. It was definitely a highlight of our visit, and reasonably priced for a such a high quality private tour! Mikko was kind enough to customize our trip to add a stop at the Haaga Rhododendron Park on our way to Nuuksio. We ended up hiking about 7ish miles, and he checked in with us regularly for feedback on preferred routes and distance. All told, he spent about 10 hours with us, and we never felt rushed. We saw beautiful lakes and carnivorous bog plants, sampled edible plants, and ate a delicious lunch on a campfire. I'm a biologist, so had a lot of questions about the local flora and fauna that he was happy to answer, and we had fun comparing the Finnish and English common names for various critters. He was also vary gracious in answering our questions about Finnish history and culture. Highly recommend Finnish Friend for anyone wanting to "opt outside" in the Helsinki area!

I had the best experience with Mikko during a full day hike in Nuuksio Park in March 2025. Mikko picked us up early in the morning at our hotels with a bus full equipment for the hike. We made various walks on frozen lakes, alternating with hikes off the beaten track in the surrounding forest. The views were amazing and exceeded my expectations. After having fun chopping wood we had a delicious vegetarian/non meat lunch by a campfire. During the day Mikko shared his knowledge about nature, animals and Finnish lifestyle/culture. After the trip, Mikko dropped us off at our preferred location in the city center of Helsinki. Great service and highly recommended!
