Highly recommend this special tour with a great guide. - Walking in the national park was easy, informative and enjoyable. It was a peek into another aspect of the Finnish culture, including the salmon soup for lunch. Porvoo added history to the outing. All in all, it was a great way to spend the day.

Our Tour Guide Was Excellent - Highly recommended! Jeff our, tour guide gave a very knowledgeable explanation of local plants in the national forest. The camp style lunch was amazing and we were able to hike a bit. Porvoo was a quaint village with interesting history and yummy chocolate!

Great day trip - Truly enjoyed this outing! After a quick ride to a national park, we were ready to set out on our hike in the forest. It was raining at the beginning and our guide was more than prepared with rain jackets for everyone. We learned about different types of berries, mushrooms and local plants. Then we took a walk around a small lake while our guide prepared a delicious hearty lunch. Next, we ventured to Porvoo to look at the church and the old town. There were lots of small shops and charming colorful buildings to see. This tour was a fun mix of of nature and history, and was an excellent day trip from Helsinki. Highly recommend it!

Nice day - Jeff was a nice guy. And he knew a ton about the country and the wildlife. The natural park was beautiful and the small town was great. It was a very low stress and enjoyable day. Highly recommend.

Down to earth - stress free Porvoo Old Town - I had a 10 hour layover at Helsinki Airport thus took the golden opportunity to explore its train services and also took a taxi to Porvoo Old Town. From the tourist information office, I took a cooling relaxing walk along the Porvoo River to Porvoo Old Town and Castle Hill. With the tourist map that I have gotten from the office, I have no trouble getting to where I want to be. The day was sunny and splendid, thus I was rewarded with clear mirror images of the nature, boat, building upon the river water surface. I cannot stop myself from taking great photo on it. As I wondered through the cobbled alley, I started to observe the tiny beauty of every part of it. It is surely a quiet and serene town. A great place where you can practice mindfulness and calm your mind. The shopkeeper there were very nice too. The houses are wooden built which gave me a village feel. Nearby is Castle Hill where you can have a great walk too.

Rated Number 1 by kids 17-28 on Baltic Cruise - My family of 5 recently went on a 9-day Baltic Cruise which docked every day in a different country. When we stopped in Helsinki, we opted for the National Park and Porvoo Tour by Taiga Tours. At the end of the cruise, when I asked my kids what their favorite part of the cruise was, they all said it was this tour. Booking the tour was a simple straight forward process. Jeff, the tour guide, was waiting for us at the port when we got off the boat. He definitely inspired confidence and enthusiasm right from the start. The park was beautiful and relaxing. Jeff made a delicious fish stew and served up a tasty lunch. It was a serene and peaceful place, but Jeff himself was probably the best part of the tour. He is so interesting and full of information. Jeff pointed out wild berries and mushrooms along the paths. I had no idea that there was a special knife just for mushroom hunting! It was a unique and wonderful experience. We are so appreciative of Jeff and Kiia, who own and operate Taiga Tours. Next time we are in Helsinki, we will definitely be looking you up! Thanks!!!!

We had a nice recreation day trip at Sipoonkorpi and Porvoo. - We had a very nice and relaxing trip on our recreation day to Sipoonkorpi National Park and to Porvoo Old Town. A short 30min drive from the city centre of Helsinki was only it took to get us into the park. Had a short 30min walk from the car to a nice spot next to a lake. The staff started to cook us dinner (a delicious salmon soup) while our group took some time to get around the lake. Some beautiful scenery and really relaxing atmosphere there. Bring shoes that you don't mind getting wet, if it has been raining! Then we gathered around a fireplace to have dinner and dessert and after that it was time to go to Porvoo. Went for a walk around the really sympathetic and beautiful old town with a lot of small cool alleyways between colourful buildings. After what we did some shopping and went for a drinks. Really nice trip, very nice and outgoing staff who loved to tell us about the nature. I would highly recommend this for example a recreation day activity for your team or to a foreign groups/couples visiting Helsinki who would like to get a glimpse of a true Finnish nature in southern Finland.
