Excellent tour for those interested in the history and current society of Finland. We were very lucky that we ended up getting a private tour with Darius. Interesting historical town of Porvoo.

I arrived earlier than my other organized tour, so that I can spend more time in Helsinki and around. I reserved this half-day tour on Viator way in advance. Darius picked me up at hotel on time and I was lucky, I was the only client! Loved the tour of little Porvoo, it is great to go with guide rather than alone, otherwise you won’t know some of the interesting details and stories.

A wonderful trip to see this beautiful town. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Had a lovely stop for coffee and cake and a chance to warmup on a December day. Pace of the tour was good and the transport comfortable.

Phenomenal tour with Darius. Loved visiting Porvoo and enjoyed delicious hot chocolate and pastries. But the highlight was listening to Darius talk about Finland. We learned so much fun! Definitely do not miss this tour!

Darius was very knowledgeable on all Finnish topics which was great. Porvoo was a charming Old Town.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for your review.
Glenn_Y, Oct 2025
The tour gave little time for seeing the town on your own or even lunch. Everything was so rushed or it felt like we were being peddled to buy art or chocolate. The town was nice and the tour guide was polite.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for your feedback, it's great that you still remember our tour more than a year later.
Have a nice day

Our tour guide, Darius, was very knowledgeable, he told us about the history of the town, history of the important buildings. This old town is very charming, we hit the good time for the beautiful fall colors too. It was a real great tour.

Peter was a great guide. He told us of the history of the area and town during our drive to Porvoo as well as answering questions about his background. He provided detailed explanations while we were walking around the town. We also enjoyed the stop for coffee and treats! We would recommend this tour for anyone wanting a day trip from Helsinki
Ellen_S, Sep 2025
Really enjoyed our tour to Porvoo with Tatiana. She texted us the afternoon prior to confirm pick up time and location which was our hotel. She had great information on Porvoo to teach us and was able to answer all our questions. Porvoo itself is beautiful and highly recommend going. This is well worth it.
Alberto_C, Aug 2025
Informative and rather entertaining. Has a lot to talk about and a fountain of knowledge of infomation that I have no idea despite being very educated in History and Geography. Nice and quaint town w/a lot of traits. Highly recommended and mostly for all ages...

This was a very pleasant way to spend 4 hours. Our guide introduced us to Finnish history and culture while on the way to Poorvu and welcomed questions. He was articulate and knowledgeable. The walk around Poorvu was at a leisurely pace and not too much for a septuagenarian with a cane.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Nice to hear you had a very good time with us on the trip from Helsinki to Porvoo! Thank you for your recommendation.

Darius was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and walked at a great pace. Made sure we had time to stop and look in the shops that were run and had products made by Porvoo locals. Total time of the tour - picked up at 9 dropped off just after 1pm.

We had a great experience with Darius. He picked us up as planned and was very informative on the way to Povoo. Povoo is a cute town and it was nice to see since we’d been to Helsinki before.
