Day With A Local goes Day with Liisa in 2026
Are you looking for someone to show you around during your one day visit in Helsinki on a Baltic Sea cruise, during your stopover at Helsinki airport or in the beginning of your vacation or business trip? I do offer limited Day With A Local availability so make sure to book your day in advance!
I will create you a program suggesting my personal favorites of the city, such as a visit to Oodi, food sample at a local market hall and - if possible, visit to the Rock Church (however not during the rush hour), yet I am more than ready to make any alterations according to your wishes. We can meet at the airport, at your hotel lobby or any other desired starting point. You can add private transfers, public transportation etc. in your order according to your individual preferences.
The time of the year, weather and events will be taken into consideration when planning your Day With A Local, in order to create the best possible experience in Helsinki - whether it is a breezy winter day, a grey day in the autumn or Finland at its best (or sometimes worst!) on a summer day - for you, your family, group of friends or business partners.
Day With A Local is a combination of Helsinki highlights and local lifestyle. We will go at your pace, according to your wishes. This is not a regular guided tour but a conversational way to get to know Helsinki, get to know Finland, culture, history and habits.
When you choose my service, it is not only about the day we spend together but I am happy to help you also with any pre-planning of your trip as well as your program throughout your stay.
I founded Day With A Local in 2015 and in 2026 I am returning to where it started from 10 years ago - meeting people in the city that I love.
