The guide was convivial, knowledgeable, and warm. Porvoo is such a lovely little town, and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring it. Since we were travelling with a toddler, the guide gave us ample time to explore at our own pace without feeling rushed, which we really appreciated. Overall, a wonderful experience!

Best tour in the city!!!
Tatiana, with a master’s degree and years of experience living and learning in Helsinki provided such an interesting and informative city tour of Helsinki. She provided the history, cultural aspects and personal tips that made her tour exceptional. Matt of fact, I had another city tour today that did not come close to offering as much information as she provided in the 2+ hours. This afternoon I went to two places Tatiana had recommended and loved them both. Walking tours are the best and, if you get Tatiana, you will really love the tour! Enjoy!

This is a very nice tour and a beautiful gem of a country. Our tour guide was informative and was not going to let torrential downpours stop the tour !! I highly recommend this experience and this tour company. A wonderful day and event despite the terrible weather.

Great day tour from the city
We had a fantastic day tour from start to finish! Our guide, Darius was incredibly knowledgeable and shared a wealth of information about the area's history, culture, and landmarks, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The city itself was clean, charming, and absolutely adorable. Hotel pickup was seamless, and the drive was comfortable and easy. Everything was well organized, and we left feeling like we had truly gotten to know the city. Highly recommend!

Such a wonderful...
Such a wonderful experience! The entire process was seamless and so well organized. I especially appreciated that the tour operator even arranged an Uber to pick me up and take me to the meeting point—such a thoughtful touch!
A big thank you to Lukas for being a fantastic guide and for showing me around Finland and Sumerian. Despite the weather, he kept things fun, engaging, and enjoyable throughout. Highly recommend this tour!

We were on a cruise and Darius picked us up at the port and then dropped us off in Helsinki afterwards. We really enjoyed our tour to Porvoo. The town was beautiful and it was good to see areas outside of the city. The best part of the day though was our guide, Darius. He provided so much information on Finnish culture and did it in a fun an engaging way. Highly recommend this tour!

Great time in the woods, the sauna, and the lake!
Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and the combination of an easy going hike, lunch prepared for us in the woods, and Finnish sauna/lake jumping, made for a great day! I highly recommend this experience if you want a taste of the flora of Finland, and an authentic sauna.
The hike is fairly flat for most of it, with a few small inclines and some roots and rocks here and there. They accommodated my dietary request for lunch as well.

Magical experience in the heart of the taiga
A magnificent experience in the heart of the Finnish taiga with a breathtaking view of the Baltic Sea. The guide was magnificent and very friendly; they gave us a lot of information about the history of Porkkalaniemi and about Finnish flora and fauna. The lunch based on specialties from Karelia, Sweden, and Finland was exquisite.

Great Day with Nature.
Mikhail was a great guide. The national park was beautiful but a bit strenuous in parts. I'm 78 and managed it ok though. Mikhail was very patient and included some rest stops in the more difficult areas.
Eating the wild blueberries, raspberries and strawberries was an added bonus. Mikhail also pointed out the different mushrooms including the Death Cap ones. The only wildlife we saw were some tiny frogs although there are brown bears in the park.

A beautiful day, pleasant and quiet
Transfer from the Port of Tallinn to the old town was on time and easy to access; our guide, Julia Konieva, was of excellent quality, helpful, and knowledgeable. She led us through the city with passion and professionalism, while also being attentive to our needs.

Beautiful woodland hike!
What a fun outing end of February. Stopped each way about halfway to/from Helsinki for restroom and any snacks. Our guide was fun, lots of good info, yummy lunch, and well worth heading out of Helsinki on this guided forest tour. Even provided spikes to put over boots so less slippery on ice. Brought hiking poles but didn’t need them.

Because Finland's charming capital city enjoys a prime location along the country's southern coast, day trips from Helsinki promise an array of experiences rife with history, culture, and natural beauty. Popular day trip options include Suomenlinna island, the picturesque Old Town of Porvoo, and the historic former capital, Turku. For those eager to explore beyond Finland, a ferry journey across the Gulf of Finland leads to Estonia's vibrant capital, Tallinn, where guided tours await.
