Did this tour from the port of Helsinki and adding Porvoo was a great choice. Such a pretty town!
Sadly, the Uspenski Cathedral was closed on the day of our tour (closed Mon. and Wed.) but we still spent some time seeing the exterior.
Although not greatly knowledgeable of the area, Solomon was very respectful and a good driver.
My only suggestion would be to have a sign with customers names since there was a bit of confusion at pickup.
This was my first time booking through Trip Advisor and it was a little confusing when it came to the choice of place we wanted to be picked up. My suggestion is to send a message to the tour operator stating pickup area and time you’d like to leave.

Great tour, but a bit rushed.
This was a very thorough tour historically. The tour rides by and permits short photo breaks at many sites in Porvoo and Helsinki. Finba was a terrific, knowledgeable guide who was very accommodating. The only negative is that the short duration of the tour did not permit lengthier stops.

Pick another tour company!
The time of our trip was finally settled on 1pm after several confusing phone calls. A guide showed up at 1:45, blaming traffic, and drove us to our guide as he couldn’t find his way to our hotel. The 6 of us were squeezed into a very small van. The guide was new to the job and while very friendly and nice, did not have a great depth of knowledge. Also,he was from Nigeria so his background in the Finnish culture was lacking. No stories to add to the experience. His accent was heavy, and since there was no microphone the folks in the back could not hear or understand him. This was our last experience for the 2 weeks we had been cruising through Scandanavia and we were thoroughly disappointed.
事業者からの返答
We would like to clarify a few points. This was a small-group shared Helsinki & Porvoo tour, and two guides were involved, providing information about the attractions, Finnish history, culture, and the areas visited.
Our guide became aware during the tour that one guest had hearing difficulties and made efforts to communicate clearly. We regret that guests at the back had difficulty hearing without a microphone.
We respectfully disagree that there was little information provided. The guides covered the major sights and relevant history and information about Finland, while the guide was also friendly and professional.
We do acknowledge that the delayed pickup and difficulty locating the hotel were not ideal, and we apologize for that inconvenience. We appreciate the feedback and will continue working to improve pickup coordination, vehicle comfort, and audibility.

Porvoo & Helsinki
A wonderful tour with a knowledgeable guide. Porvoo is a must see. Only complaint is we could have spent 2 more hours there was so many cool things to see.
事業者からの返答
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and appreciated our guide’s knowledge. Porvoo really is a special place, with so many charming streets, historic buildings, shops, and hidden corners to explore.
We completely understand wanting to spend more time there—there is certainly plenty to see! We hope to welcome you back to Finland for another visit and more time to explore Porvoo.

Rush
The tour was very good, except for the added half hour. She charge us 50 euro, due to lunch that was serve late. She gave us 1hr time. But the restaurant was slow. I text her& told her, she said charge extra for being late. Due to her parking. I don't think was right. She didn't mention, she have to pay for parking.
事業者からの返答
We glad you enjoyed the tour
The €50 charge was for the additional time and overtime involved in extending the tour beyond the agreed duration, including the related parking costs. It was not a charge simply because the restaurant served lunch late.
We normally allow approximately 30 minutes in Porvoo as part of the tour schedule. However, our guide had already generously given you an additional 30 minutes of her own time as a goodwill gesture. When the restaurant service then caused the tour to run even further beyond the agreed duration, the additional time resulted in overtime and parking costs.
We understand that restaurant delays can happen, but when a tour extends beyond its scheduled duration, additional costs may apply. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to make the tour timing and any additional charges as clear as possible.

Not what we paid for
When we booked this, it specifically said Private Tour. We would have been OK with another two people but the provider crammed six of us into a small minivan. My wife had to crawl into the back seat over the middle seat. It was very uncomfortable.
We had to contact the provider the afternoon before to find out what time to meet, since no time was given anywhere in the paperwork/download.
The driver showed up more than 20 min early and expected us to be ready to go.
We did not go to all the places listed in the description. The driver seemed in a rush, and at least two places were never included in our tour.
Our driver gave us some info, but most of the descriptions came from another driver, who met us at a couple of the stops, then disappeared.
事業者からの返答
We would like to clarify a few points. This is a shared small-group tour, with group sizes varying according to bookings, and it was operated according to the advertised format and itinerary. Finba was operating a separate exclusive private tour with his own guests and was not part of this group.
Our guides provide commentary throughout the tour, covering history, buildings, surroundings and points of interest. Some locations are pass-by sights, while others are scheduled stops, exactly as stated in our itinerary. Admission fees are not included and this is clearly stated in the tour information.
The tour followed its advertised itinerary. Our pricing also reflects the high operating costs in Finland, particularly fuel, vehicles and transportation.
We acknowledge that the pickup-time communication could have been clearer and will continue improving this.

Great private tour
A private tour to take at your own pace, with plenty of history and current status discussed. Guide was also funny and showed the must see places

Poor experience on the Helsinki/Porvoo day tour
Just lost the long review I wrote listing all of our problems with this tour. We don't believe we had qualified guide, the car had 6 guests squashed in, as opposed to the 4 advertised, while Finba had another car with 4 guests. He dipped in and out of our tour once or twice. We didn't visit all the advertised spots, and at many of those we did vist no information was provided. We had to pay entrance at some of the churches, which should have been indicated upfront. We should have foreseen problems when 3 confirmation emails did not give us our pick up time and we struggled to get this information. So, all in all, a poor experience!
