A tour not to be missed!! - Darius took us on a wonderful trip to Porvoo. We were picked up promptly at the appointed time at our hotel. The ride from Helsinki took approximately 40 minutes. Darius kept us occupied with historical, cultural and geographic information. The walk thru Porvoo was most enjoyable and informative. We also got in a bit of shopping and a snack at some of the lovely shops. As with other outings we’ve had in Findland…wear comfortable shoes and dress warmly.

Great time in Porvoo! - My wife and I enjoyed our private tour of Porvoo. Our guide picked us up at our hotel in Helsinki in his comfy van and was great to talk with. He was very knowledgeable as history is his passion. We visited the sights in Porvoo, stopped for coffee and enjoyed a bit of shopping. I would highly recommend and would go again!

Great trip - A wonderful trip to see this beautiful town. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Had a lovely stop for coffee and cake and a chance to warmup on a December day. Pace of the tour was good and the transport comfortable.

Could have been better on time - The tour gave little time for seeing the town on your own or even lunch. Everything was so rushed or it felt like we were being peddled to buy art or chocolate. The town was nice and the tour guide was polite.
