Darius is very friendly and knowledgeable. He told us lots about Finnish history and culture - most of which cannot be found online / from books, but only through a local person who knows the region very well and has close ties with the local community. We enjoyed the trip a lot and cannot recommend it enough.

Darius was very informative. He knowledgeably answered our questions. He has an easy going personality and a great sense of humor. The pace was appropriate to all the members of the group.

I arrived earlier than my other organized tour, so that I can spend more time in Helsinki and around. I reserved this half-day tour on Viator way in advance. Darius picked me up at hotel on time and I was lucky, I was the only client! Loved the tour of little Porvoo, it is great to go with guide rather than alone, otherwise you won’t know some of the interesting details and stories.

Darius took us on a wonderful trip to Porvoo. We were picked up promptly at the appointed time at our hotel. The ride from Helsinki took approximately 40 minutes. Darius kept us occupied with historical, cultural and geographic information. The walk thru Porvoo was most enjoyable and informative. We also got in a bit of shopping and a snack at some of the lovely shops. As with other outings we’ve had in Findland…wear comfortable shoes and dress warmly.

A wonderful trip to see this beautiful town. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Had a lovely stop for coffee and cake and a chance to warmup on a December day. Pace of the tour was good and the transport comfortable.

My wife and I enjoyed our private tour of Porvoo. Our guide picked us up at our hotel in Helsinki in his comfy van and was great to talk with. He was very knowledgeable as history is his passion. We visited the sights in Porvoo, stopped for coffee and enjoyed a bit of shopping. I would highly recommend and would go again!
