Let us pick you up and show you the best Helsinki and Porvoo have to offer!

Our adventure begins in Helsinki, where we’ll spend 1,5 hour walking through the historical city center. Classical and hidden 19th-century treasures sights of 19th century capital mix with stunning Finnish romanticism architecture.

After a scenic 45-minute drive, we’ll arrive in Porvoo, Finland’s second oldest city. Here, you'll spend 2 hours exploring the enchanting 18th-century streets, stepping into the 1450s-built cathedral, and marveling at the city’s wooden houses. As you walk through the medieval town, don’t miss the chance to savor a traditional Finnish pastry at a quaint 1700s café or have a common Finnish lunch. Please note that the streets in Porvoo are cobblestone, so comfortable shoes are highly recommended.

Finally, we’ll return to modern Helsinki with another 45-minute drive, reflecting on the rich history and unique experiences of our journey through these two remarkable cities.

The National Library of Finland

Engel's library worthy of a new capital of Grand Dutchy of Finland, though library collection dates back to 1640. Old, classical, incredibly beautiful. This oldest Helsinki library will be our reference point for comparison with 21 centrury library, Oodi.

    We had a wonderful tour with Peter. He was very knowledgeable of Porvoo and Helsinki. He took time to point out historical figures and significant locations. We really appreciated the tours of the libraries, and other wonderful sights. He was a safe driver and very friendly. We really enjoyed our day and would highly recommend a tour with him!

    Tatiana was a wonderful guide. She showed us a complete tour of Helsinki part by car and part by walking. We saw the city in a relaxed yet full manner. She then drove us to Porvoo and explained the history in an enjoyable manner. When we returned to Helsinki she gave us excellent suggestions for food and additional sights. I would highly recommend Tatiana and her agency.
