Great time and personal attention. - Great tour of Helsinki and Porvoo. Interesting walk through medieval town and then return to Helsinki for a few highlights there. Loved the libraries and architecture in the city center. Overall, Andrew was a great guide and would highly recommend.

Porvo is a beautiful little town - Nadia was our tour guide and she was wonderful. She was very professional very kind she was very thorough. Very knowledgeable answered all of our questions and we had a very nice tour with her. It was a little rushed. I would say add another hour to 2 hours so you can spend more time in the town of Provo because you do spend over an hour 45 minutes in the car each way to drive from Helsinki to Porvo.

Perfect introduction to Helsinki & Finland! - We were so glad we did this tour! Nadia was awesome! She shared a lot of information regarding Finland and its history. Porvoo was lovely (just wish we could’ve seen inside the church but there was a confirmation). We saw so many things in Helsinki, though, that made the whole experience worthwhile! Nadia also shared suggestions for where we could get lunch as well as her favorite chocolate store (Fazer). Highly recommend this tour as an introduction to Helsinki!

Memorable Helsinki and Porvoo - Enjoyable and very informative tour with a very knowledgeable guide Antre.
There would not be any other way to see and learn as much as we have on the trip.

Not VIP - Lot to pay for very little. It’s not VIP.
A converted Mercedes transit van!
Sticker advertising to the right side of the vehicles obscures your ability to take pictures while on the move!
On the day while on the move the driver tells me to check the message from office to say that they are curtailing the journey by 30min.
We are not allowed to eat inside the van!!
Pascale the guide was a great guide and had good knowledge.
