Pleasant day in Porvoo - Sergio was a pleasant & knowledgeable tour guide. He is not originally from Finland but has lived there for many years. Porvoo has an interesting history and has wonderful old wooden buildings along the river.

Bus ride to Porto. Our... - Bus ride to Porto. Our guide was Sergio. He provided a lot of information about the town. Very relaxed walk through the town. One hour of time on our own was a little too long though.

Picturesque and welcoming village - The history of Finland is very interesting, from being part of the Kingdom of Sweden to being a self-government part of the Russian Empire, and this whole transition happened in Porvoo. A small and welcoming village with medieval structures.
