5.00A very nice and relaxed trip around Helsinki and Porvoo, with a great chance to get familiar with beautiful Finnish culture. The whole experience was informative and enjoyable, and I liked that you had a chance to ask as many questions as you like, and that we stopped to take pictures along the way. Even though I'm already familiar with both Helsinki and Porvoo, I learned a lot of new things, which was a nice surprise. The guide shared interesting facts and stories that made the places feel fresh and full of life. Everything was well-organized and unhurried, we even stopped in a nice café! If you're looking for a day trip that around Helsinki and Porvoo, I definitely recommend this one!
A Perfect Day in Helsinki and Porvoo!

5.00We had such a great experience on the Helsinki and Porvoo tour! Porvoo was absolutely beautiful – like a little old village straight out of a movie. In Helsinki, we got to see all the main sights in a short amount of time, which was great! We honestly expected something a bit slow, like some typical culture tours, but it totally wasn’t!! The guide was fun and told really interesting stories, so we learned a lot and had a great time😃 Totally recommend it if you want to see the highlights and actually enjoy it!
