5.00My husband and I went on the tour to Porvoo and we had such a great experience checking out Porvoo with Paolo. He was so knowledgeable about the area and the history. We had a great time exploring the town, shops and coffee (of course). It was just the three of us and it felt so personable to us and Paolo really helped us learn a lot about not just Porvoo, but Helsinki and even Rovaniemi (where we had also spent some time in earlier in our trip). What a fantastic experience. Thank you again

5.00From the moment I connected with Paulo after booking the trip, I knew we had a great guide. He was professional, fun and super knowledgeable. Paulo strategized how to make the most out of our half day together which we truly appreciated! We came away with a much better idea of why Finland is the happiest country on Earth! I would highly recommend him without hesitation!
