Time spent very well - Sergio is a very knowledgable, warm and patient guide. We were on the tour with kids and they had a lovely time, he was very attentive and responsive to the kids and had answers to all our questions. We absolutely loved the first half of the day spent on the Porvoo & Riverside Old Town Heritage tour. He went out of his way to help us plan the days in Helsinki and address scheduling issues. Would strongly recommend the experience..

He made sure that everyone is comfortable and explained everything about the tour. We learned so much about the history and culture of Finland and its people. Porvoo is a beautiful place to visit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice town to visit - I enjoyed the tour. The guide was nice. I didn’t have the chance to visit the museum or the church because they were closed. The river was completely frozen so I didn’t see the full beauty of it.

Worth a short visit - The tour was interesting and Sergio was an engaging and knowledgeable guide with a lively sense of humour. We felt the 2 hour shop browsing time at the end was too long tho and we would have preferred to leave a little earlier. It was drizzling as well so a river walk wasn’t possible. But you can’t help the weather!

Porvoo Old Town short visit - An interesting site to wander through. We had a lovely guide and enjoyed the history that he shared, however overall a little underwhelming.
