This tour was amazing!... - This tour was amazing! Our guide was wonderful and so informative. She spoke in both English and Spanish in order to accommodate all languages of the group. She was so kind and fun! The town was very neat to explore and we loved having a little bit of free time to explore on our own as well. I highly recommend this tour if you are interested in learning more about Porvoo and Finland!

Magical tour by Tatiana - Tatiana, our guide, was wonderful! She did an excellent job showing us around Porvoo. Although it’s not peak season anymore and most shops were closed. We loved the Autumn colors and privacy.

Porvoo in a day - This turned out to be a private tour for my wife and I as we were the only ones involved. The guide was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about Finland as a whole and Porvoo in particular. He had personal information on the various shops and cafes in town which made the tour even more enjoyable.

Porvoo Day!! - What a great day trip we had yesterday, June 12, 2024. My best friend and I enjoyed our guide Darius’ commentary throughout the trip. His knowledge of the history of Porvoo and Helsinki in general was enlightening and entertaining. We were a small group of 7 and the van was nice and cozy and comfortable. I got to take some lovely photos and get a true sense of the culture and people of Porvoo. Towards the end we were given our own personal time to grab a delicious bite to eat and or just walk around. Make sure you pickup some chocolates from the Brunberg Chocolate shop. I highly recommend this tour company and guide. Our driver Vladimir got us there and back safely. Great time, great day!!

Go on your own and slip the tour - Guide had a heavy accent and it was hard to understand her. Tour was a church, some yards, and a statue. Not much to see here on a tour. Go on your own and enjoy the day.
