Local guide for Helsinki in English & German
Moi, I'm Jola!
I came here as an au pair, originally planning to become a teacher, and ended up falling for this city instead. These days, I bring that same love of teaching into every tour, just with better views and more stories. Since 2025, I’ve guided over 270 tours through Helsinki, always with a focus on storytelling, accessibility, and making the city’s history feel personal, not textbook.
Local
Not just facts, but the city as I actually experience it.
