Visite de Porvoo depuis Helsinki ou Vantaa

Highly recommend! Very convenient for a female solo traveller, you get picked up from your hotel, no having to navigate Helsinki to meet the tour. Darius is a wonderful story teller and I learnt so much about the Finnish culture. Fascinating and often humorous stories that you just won’t pick up unless you spend time with a local. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour, thank you Darius!

Our guide Darius picked us up at the hotel for the 45 min drive to Porvoo which is a beautiful old city next to the river. The weather was nice so that’s the perfect setting for some nice shots. Darius is very knowledgeable and an excellent guide to take you around. If you have limited time to spend out of Tallinn this is a very good option to see the countryside and to discover a beautiful old city with a history.

The tour into Porvoo was exceptional due to our tour guide Darius! He went above and beyond to make our experience incredibly memorable. From the minute we got into the van, Darius gave us a huge history lesson about Finland.

Helsinki is great, but it’s become multicultural like most cities today. To get a look at a more typical Finnish village, check out Porvoo. The town has modern sections but also carefully preserves the historic buildings. The town has a significant place in Finland’s history as well. Darius gave us a very informative talk on the drive out on the history and culture of Finland, with amusing anecdotes to help us better understand the people. It was one of the best summaries I have ever heard. That background was helpful context for the sites in Porvoo. The arrangements were good and clearly communicated. This outing was one of the highlights of our trip!

Awesome personalized tour. Learned a ton about Porvoo. Would definitely recommend. Just know it’s a walking tour of Porvoo if you have limited mobility.

Darius was an amazing guide! He is very knowledgeable and was able to answer our questions. He guided us though the town at our pace so the tour did not feel rushed.

Darius is a student of history and his passion for sharing it is clear. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable, Darius is also well organized and prepared. From his early arrival at my hotel to extra umbrellas for me and another guest to ward off the rain in Porvoo, we were in excellent hands. As others have noted, be sure to wear clothing and footwear appropriate for changeable weather and varied terrain.

Terrific tour for our three-generation trip to Finland! Darius picked us up promptly and his van was roomy (seats 6 passengers comfortably plus room in the trunk for bags). He has a microphone and speaker to make it easy for people in the back to hear him clearly – nice touch, especially for those hard of hearing! The 40-minute trip to Porvoo included his rich history of Finland which provides context for the current Finnish culture, food, religion, and more. This was our third tour, and we learned a lot that was not covered in other tours! Porvoo itself is lovely – a beautiful and typical Finnish town with a rich history. Darius moved comfortably at our pace – 3 generations means we can be very slow on uphills (and there are a few hills here!) – and stops included a coffeehouse with the top-rated Porvoo cake (we also stopped at a second shop for gluten-free goodies), the beautiful and typical church, the standard views of Porvoo, a chocolate/candy shop and more. Highly recommend this tour! Wear good walking shoes (all cobblestones!) and layers for the Finnish weather!

Darius imparted useful knowledge, we enjoyed all the stories he shared. He was on time for the pickup, thank you, we had a great time.
