Great day in Helsinki and Porvoo - The tour of Helsinki and Porvoo left an incredible impression! Deep information content, convenient transportation and a highly professional guide made every moment exciting. Porvoo turned out to be a real gem in a medieval atmosphere, and Helsinki turned out to be a city with an amazing combination of modernity and history. I highly recommend this tour!

Discovering Helsinki - Our guide was very informative and also funny. We learned so much about the the history of Finland which was fascinating. She had a great sense of humor and had us laughing at her stories. Igor, the driver, was also funny and informative. We would certainly have them again.

Not informative or relaxing - We were hoping for historical storytelling that included the why’s and how’s of what creates the Finnish city and culture. Rather, things were just pointed out with the dates it was built. The transportation was lovely except for we kept asking for the heat. We had to scrape the frost off the inside of the windows to see the landmarks. There was a photo book for us to look through and our guide didn’t even know what it was or talked about it. This tour was way too expensive for what we experienced. When we got back to the hotel, we spent the next hour or so researching what we saw to learn about the history on our own. Our guide, even though a nice person, was highly disappointing. We kept redirecting the conversation to learn something about anything otherwise she was sharing non-relevant information about her friend she went to college with and such. I tried to send a message to the tour operator prior to posting this, hoping I would get an apology or a reason but after three days with no response … they clearly didn’t find this feedback important.

Tour Operator Didn’t Show - Viator took our payment for 11:00 am tour then the tour operator phoned to advise that they could not supply until 2:00 pm. We could not accept 2:00 pm as we were due to board our ship for a 5:00 pm sailing. Viator are trying to only repay 80%. We are disputing as we are blameless.
