TOUR DESCRIPTION
 

Helsinki Shore Excursion

This Helsinki shore tour visits the quaint town of Porvoo, the second oldest town in Finland. The town is an artists colony and is famous for its well preserved wooden houses which date from the 18th century.

Upon arrival in the historical part of Porvoo, your licensed guide will explain the history of this charming town which has become a very popular place for artists and writers as well as tourists.

The old wooden buildings with colorful roofs are located on delightful cobblestone streets, making it one of the treasures of Finnish architecture.

You will visit the Old Church of Porvoo, the Town Hall Square and local craftsman's workshops. After walking with your guide you enjoy some free time to soak up this wonderful Finnish gem before returning to Helsinki.

5 of 5 Review Location- Helsinki April 12, 2026
Reviewer: Bridgette G from Aurora Canada  
I have been meaning to get in touch and letting you know that all private tours were right on time even though after reconfirming from the hotel in Copenhagen my German phone never worked, so I was a bit concerned how it would work out but they were all there, were professional and helpful and with the three boys it was the best decision I made about the whole trip to have the private tours. I knew this cruise would not be the perfect itinerary for teen age boys but I think the guides we had made it work, adjusted the programs tour over the city rather than the city tour as it would have given the boys a thrill and me the kind of overview of the city one could not get from a car. I dont mean it complaining, it is more hindsight on my part. I would recommend Private tours to anyone with a small group, as the flexibility and advantage of passing all the long long line ups for all the larger groups and sneaking in ahead of them was worth alone the extra cost. On top of it the flexibility was just priceless for the boys. I have less good things to say about the cruise line, found the ship not well organized and not at all helpful for anyone not wanting their tours and giving the rest of us wrong information about landing procedures at least 12 the time. Well, I have learned a lot and even though I will never be a total cruise fan, the baltic itinerary is really very informative if one prepares oneself as there was little or no advanced information on the destination ports given to us from the ship itself. So, thanks for your helpful service, I would recommend booking private tours to anyone!! You are welcome to quote my recommendation if needed.

We really enjoy all the tours that you booked for us. Really made our trip that much more enjoyable and we were able to cover a lot more ground. All the tour guides were absolutely wonderful. I will definitely refer you to anyone that is going to Europe. I just wish you covered more than Europe!

Reviewer: Shannon S from Temecula, CA  
The tours went well, the tour guides were excellent, very knowledgeable (most of them history professors moonlighting as tour guides during school breaks), and professional. Well done! The drivers were very cooperative and worked well with the tour guides. Good Team! Next year, I will be planning Dubai and Jordan. If you do these places, I will be in touch with you again. On behalf of my group, thank you. Monaco - The tour was fantastic. We really enjoyed our driverguide. We did a lot of tours during our trip and I must say this tour was one of the best. Ill be happy to recommend to my friends.
