Private Helsinki Tour by car and Visit Porvoo city old town
Overview
Available languages
6 hours
Mobile ticket
Come explore Helsinki with me in a relaxed, friendly way — like spending the day with a local who knows the city inside out.
This is a private tour just for you and your guests, where we’ll mix driving and easy walking to see both the main highlights and some hidden gems. Along the way, we’ll stop whenever you like for photos, short walks, or just to enjoy the atmosphere.
I’ve lived here for over 23 years, so I’ll share not only the history and culture, but also what everyday life in Finland is really like — the little things you don’t find in guidebooks.
We’ll chat about:
* Finnish culture and traditions
* Local lifestyle and daily life
* History (without it feeling like a lecture!)
* Cool spots, views, and local favorites
I’m an official Helsinki tour guide, but I like to keep things easygoing, flexible, and personal.
Have something special in mind? Just let me know — before or even during the tour — and we can adjust the plan to suit you.

5.00I did a tour with Paulo in January 2026, and it was an outstanding experience. Paulo was professional, knowledgeable, and above all, genuinely honest. He delivered exactly what was promised and made the whole day relaxed and enjoyable. You can tell he takes pride in his work; clear communication, great local insight, and no pressure or gimmicks. Just a solid, well-run tour with a guide you can trust. Highly recommend Paulo to anyone considering this tour. I’d happily book with him again.
Great Experience

5.00We had a great day with Paulo. He was early and we got started right away. Visited Porvoo and Helsinki. He was a good driver and his car accommodated us well “4 adults”. We were able to move at our own pace and see what interested us most. He was an excellent guide answering all of our questions and gave us a lot of information about the area. We would definitely recommend his services to anyone visiting the area.
Amazing time with Poalo

5.00Poalo was a wonderful driver and a great tour guide. He imparted a wealth of information including culture, history and architecture. He had interesting tidbits describing the impact of communism. We visited the church of the rock among other sites. Poalo even advocated for me to be able to use the disability bathroom when they didn’t want to open it at one place. He also transported my folding electric wheelchair and didn’t mind taking it in and out of his truck.
Fabulous day in Helsinki and Provo 🥰

5.00My husband took the private tour of Helsinki and Provoo with Paulo - it was great! He picked us up at our hotel in a very clean new car and we visited many sights in Helsinki before driving to Porvoo for a walking tour, lunch and some shopping time. Paulo is such a great ambassador for Helsinki- he is so knowledgeable about the history, culture etc and is able to share this in the most natural engaging way of communicating. We very much enjoyed our full day and lunch being with Paulo. Helsinki is very beautiful and Porvoo is charming. We enjoyed being able to see both places in 1 day. Very organized and efficiently executed plan for the day! Thank you Paulo for such a wonderful day💗
A perfect day w a great guide!

5.00If you are looking for a personal tour that allows you the opportunity to see how the locals live this is the tour for you. Paulo is an excellent tour guide who has a vast knowledge of the local history, past and present. He also adds some fun along the way. He try’s to avoid the big tour buses so you can enjoy the sites without all the crowds. We would recommend this tour to family and friends. Thanks for a great day Paulo!
