Beautiful and charming town to visit

Porvoo is a charming and picturesque town, perfect for a relaxing visit. Its colorful wooden houses, cobblestone streets, and iconic red riverside warehouses make the Old Town especially beautiful. There are plenty of cozy cafés, small shops, and scenic corners to enjoy as you wander. Our guide, Darius, was very knowledgeable about the area, patiently explaining the town’s history and giving us plenty of time to explore on our own. Porvoo is a small town filled with character and heritage, and it’s definitely worth adding to your Finland itinerary.

The rain, on the day, put a bit of a dampener on our Tour, though, we all had wet weather gear, and, comfortable walking shoes. An informative Tour, interesting, and, it was unique to travel to and from Porvoo by coach.
Wonderful Tour

Our guide was excellent but this trip is very overpriced for what is offered. Would recommend looking at options for arranging own transport and finding a local guide for 2 hours.
Great tour of Provoo

It was a very interesting historic tour. The old wooden houses and the new modern houses by the river was quite a contrast.
