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!!

The highlight of our trip - The day spent in Porvoo Was worth every penny, it was the highlight of our four day trip to Finland, our guide, Tatiana, was so knowledgeable about art, history, cultural, and any other topic we asked questions about. We appreciated her easy to understand English and admired her nationalism. It was obvious how much she loves Finland. It was a well paced tour, which gave us time for shopping and eating, and still, we got to see all the highlights of Porvoo. I would highly recommend Tatiana and the visit to Porvoo to anyone visiting Finland!

Lovely town but disappointing - The trip was an experience on the bus system which was extremely impressive. However I did miss the fact that for nearly an hour we looked out the window in silence passing areas with no commentary from the guide. This was disappointing , as usually you gain a lot just from learning about areas you pass on the way to a site. I understand that you are on buses that transport the community. I think the price of the trip should be priced accordingly then. The town of Porvoo was interesting and we walked to each area that was of interest. We were able to enjoy a quick lunch in our free time and then back to the bus station with a 50+ minute drive back to the bus station. Would I do this this excursion again, I am not sure.

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.
