Informative tour of Beautiful Porvoo - We had an excellent tour with Darius. He had a lot of great information and answered all of our questions. It was nice to have dialogue. We took a nice stop to have some tea and coffee and special cake. We got a nice view just outside the city from a beautiful vantage point and then walked through the city. We never felt, rushed, and kept a nice pace.

Highly recommended - The best of this tour is Darius himself. He's a deep-knowledged guide, willing to explain with patience and dedication about Finland's history and to answer every question you might have about. I feel honoured to have met him and to have shared more than a tour. Greetings from Colombia and thank you, Darius.
