Nice location if looking for something extra to do

Greg_S, Jun 2025

Nice day trip and wonderful scenery. Like with most Finnish historic locations, you want to be mindful if traveling with seniors. There are a lot of coble stone roads with inclines, so it may slow them down. Tour guide was very informative and driver was very nice. Worth a view if you need to fill some time or add to things to do while in Helsinki.

One of the best private tours

Renee_R, Jun 2022

This tour was amazing. We only had 2 short days in Helsinki and we wanted to see both Helsinki and Medieval Porvoo. This was the best way. We had the guide all to ourselves. We needed to get a Covid test sometime that day so we could fly back to the United States. Our guide was able to find a place and take us there. It was worth every penny that we paid for this tour.
