5.00Awesome personalized tour. Learned a ton about Porvoo. Would definitely recommend. Just know it’s a walking tour of Porvoo if you have limited mobility.

5.00Darius was an amazing guide! He is very knowledgeable and was able to answer our questions. He guided us though the town at our pace so the tour did not feel rushed.
Excellent semi-private visit to Porvoo

5.00Darius is a student of history and his passion for sharing it is clear. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable, Darius is also well organized and prepared. From his early arrival at my hotel to extra umbrellas for me and another guest to ward off the rain in Porvoo, we were in excellent hands. As others have noted, be sure to wear clothing and footwear appropriate for changeable weather and varied terrain.
Flexible tour of a lovely typical Finnish town

5.00Terrific tour for our three-generation trip to Finland! Darius picked us up promptly and his van was roomy (seats 6 passengers comfortably plus room in the trunk for bags). He has a microphone and speaker to make it easy for people in the back to hear him clearly – nice touch, especially for those hard of hearing! The 40-minute trip to Porvoo included his rich history of Finland which provides context for the current Finnish culture, food, religion, and more. This was our third tour, and we learned a lot that was not covered in other tours! Porvoo itself is lovely – a beautiful and typical Finnish town with a rich history. Darius moved comfortably at our pace – 3 generations means we can be very slow on uphills (and there are a few hills here!) – and stops included a coffeehouse with the top-rated Porvoo cake (we also stopped at a second shop for gluten-free goodies), the beautiful and typical church, the standard views of Porvoo, a chocolate/candy shop and more. Highly recommend this tour! Wear good walking shoes (all cobblestones!) and layers for the Finnish weather!
Fantastic and informative day

5.00Darius 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.
