Helsinki and Porvoo Tour by Private Car with Personal Guide

11.Helsinki and Porvoo Tour by Private Car with Personal Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 134 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $102

Spend four to five hours with a driver-guide such as Finbar, touring Helsinki’s major sights before visiting Porvoo’s riverfront, Old Town, cathedral, and Brunberg chocolate shop. The compact route suits cruise passengers and first-time visitors, but Porvoo time is short and groups may occasionally be combined.

“Pretty bad experience. There was no guide just a driver, who at times wanted to talk about some history of Helsinki and Porvoo. He kept repeating the same thing without any information. He was more interested in getting to his calls/browsing than showing us around. He kept getting calls like every 5 mins (he attended some, rejected some). Overall a horrible experience and I would recommend anyone not doing this.”

Totally suitable for first-timers, considering your endurance isnt a problem and you are rather fit. You get to know the real Lapland with this. Not gonna lie beyond -20C degrees it gets a little challenging but for sure it is worth it, hand and foot warmers are a must.”
