This was a relaxed tour of a fascinating old town in Finland. Our guide was knowledgeable and talkative. We stopped at a local cafe and had time to do some shopping.

My husband and I went on the tour to Porvoo and we had such a great experience checking out Porvoo with Paolo. He was so knowledgeable about the area and the history. We had a great time exploring the town, shops and coffee (of course). It was just the three of us and it felt so personable to us and Paolo really helped us learn a lot about not just Porvoo, but Helsinki and even Rovaniemi (where we had also spent some time in earlier in our trip). What a fantastic experience. Thank you again

From the moment I connected with Paulo after booking the trip, I knew we had a great guide. He was professional, fun and super knowledgeable. Paulo strategized how to make the most out of our half day together which we truly appreciated! We came away with a much better idea of why Finland is the happiest country on Earth! I would highly recommend him without hesitation!

Paulo is an exceptional guide. He very knowledgeable, personable and will go out of his way to provide an enjoyable and memorable experience. This Porvoo tour is an excellent way to see another side of Finland, away from Helsinki.. We highly recommend it.

It was a nice and enjoyable 4-hour tour. Porvoo is beautiful and peaceful with some historical buildings. Paulo is friendly and shares with me the history and present Finland. It is great to be on his tour.

Amazing tour! Porvoo is a nice contrast to the cityscape in Helsinki, and I highly recommend taking this tour. Paulo himself is incredible. Extremely knowledgeable and an absolute joy to be around. I almost had to cancel my tour at one point due to a potential work conflict, and even though the tour page says no refunds, Paulo was willing to work with me on the cancellation. Luckily, I ended up being able to make it, and it was the highlight of my trip. I'm sure there are plenty of great Porvoo tours, but I highly recommend Paulo. He really went above and beyond, continuing to text me additional siteseeing, bar, and restaurant recommendations per my request once the tour was over. None disappointed. I was originally worried about the cost, as I was traveling solo and this was my splurge purchase for the trip, but it was worth every penny. Thanks Paulo!!

Paulo was great! Picked us up by car and had an interesting chat about Finland on our way to Porvoo. Porvoo was lovely. Going with Paulo is a great way to treat yourself to a private tour.
