Great day trip from Helsinki - This was a relaxed tour of a fascinating old town in Finland. Our guide was knowledgeable and talkative. We stopped at a local cafe and had time to do some shopping.

Fun trip to Porvoo - My husband and I went on the tour to Porvoo and we had such a great experience checking out Porvoo with Paolo. He was so knowledgeable about the area and the history. We had a great time exploring the town, shops and coffee (of course). It was just the three of us and it felt so personable to us and Paolo really helped us learn a lot about not just Porvoo, but Helsinki and even Rovaniemi (where we had also spent some time in earlier in our trip). What a fantastic experience. Thank you again

Fabulous Day in Helsinki & Poorvo - From the moment I connected with Paulo after booking the trip, I knew we had a great guide. He was professional, fun and super knowledgeable. Paulo strategized how to make the most out of our half day together which we truly appreciated! We came away with a much better idea of why Finland is the happiest country on Earth! I would highly recommend him without hesitation!

Take this tour!! - Amazing tour! Porvoo is a nice contrast to the cityscape in Helsinki, and I highly recommend taking this tour. Paulo himself is incredible. Extremely knowledgeable and an absolute joy to be around. I almost had to cancel my tour at one point due to a potential work conflict, and even though the tour page says no refunds, Paulo was willing to work with me on the cancellation. Luckily, I ended up being able to make it, and it was the highlight of my trip. I'm sure there are plenty of great Porvoo tours, but I highly recommend Paulo. He really went above and beyond, continuing to text me additional siteseeing, bar, and restaurant recommendations per my request once the tour was over. None disappointed. I was originally worried about the cost, as I was traveling solo and this was my splurge purchase for the trip, but it was worth every penny. Thanks Paulo!!
