Very nice day trip - Charming town. The tour involves walking on cobblestones; some uphill walking. We'll worth the effort.

Perfect Porvoo! - Harry was a knowledgeable guide and the history of this Medieval town is fascinating. Plenty of time to browse the town, walk on the frozen lake, walk up to Castle Hill and coffee of course!

Day Trip to Porvoo. - The coach journey to and from Porvoo was smooth. We had a very good guide who knows the history of the beautiful parks and the historic buildings around. There were lots of lovelly views to take photographs with. Such a small town but so full of interesting history. Should not be missed if you visit Finland.

Beautiful and charming town to visit - Porvoo is a charming and picturesque town, perfect for a relaxing visit. Its colorful wooden houses, cobblestone streets, and iconic red riverside warehouses make the Old Town especially beautiful. There are plenty of cozy cafés, small shops, and scenic corners to enjoy as you wander. Our guide, Darius, was very knowledgeable about the area, patiently explaining the town’s history and giving us plenty of time to explore on our own. Porvoo is a small town filled with character and heritage, and it’s definitely worth adding to your Finland itinerary.

Porvoo at a Glimpse - We enjoyed our trip to Porvoo led by Harry. He was organized yet relaxed. As we wandered he shared general info about Porvoo and was able to answer questions. Although there was no lunch break we did stop for coffee. We appreciated that he gave us free time to shop at the end of official tour.
