Tour guide made the tour!

5.00This tour had all the components of “oh no” for Daniela. Six people but two different languages and one couple who got lost and arrived late. Being a holiday, their late arrival meant not just missing the planned bus but an hour delay because the next bus didn’t have enough seats left and then closures in Provo due to Midsumner holiday. She was calm and turned the wait into a unique extra tour of the buildings around the shopping area adding to our knowledge and insight of Helsinki. The operator was also quick to compensate for delay without bringing asked. Great customer service. The tour in Provo was wonderful - sites, pace, stories, time for pictures and local treat. Paula who was in training also deserves high marks - they were an exceptional team. We appreciated the quick thinking and calm approach to a difficult start and feel like we actually got a bonus treat from it. Definitely recommend and hope you get one if our great guides.
Lovely Day in Porvoo

5.00We had a lovely group of 6 who joined our day trip to Porvoo with Darius. Darius was a great guide. He gave us plenty of history of Porvoo and Finland in general. He also allowed us to have time for a coffee and their famous cake in the morning and a leisurely lunch. We never felt rushed. In fact the six of us all bonded during our tour and took several group pictures together. We were also blessed with a beautiful, sunny day.
Best Tour Ever!

5.00Very relaxing, easy day walking the medieval town of Porvoo and learning about Finnish history and culture. Cesar was full of knowledge and made me feel comfortable being solo on this tour. He even took the time to explain and show me how to navigate the train system. Thank you Cesar and good luck to you! Maybe I will see you again in Norway, Lapland or Tallin!!😊 Best to you, Christine

Day Trip to Porvoo

5.00Day Trip to Porvoo Darius picked us up from our hotel right on time. During the 50 minute drive east to Porvoo, he shared a wealth of information about Finland, its customs, and its history, which made the journey both interesting and enjoyable. On arrival, we were greeted by the most beautiful winter wonderland — stunning red, yellow and green houses nestled amongst fresh snow. As we walked through the town, Darius explained the history and traditions of the people who live there. The pace was relaxed and comfortable, allowing plenty of time to take photographs of this most picturesque town. Every corner felt like a postcard. We also enjoyed some free time after the guided walk, including a peaceful stroll along the frozen river. The 15th-century cathedral was especially beautiful, standing proudly against the snowy backdrop. We sampled local coffee and cake before being driven back to our hotel after what truly was a spectacular winter’s day. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone — especially those wanting to capture perfect winter photographs and see the real Finland.
Daniella Excellent Tour Guide!!!
