We had an amazing time on the Helsinki Private Tour to Medieval Porvoo. It was the perfect way to experience both the highlights of Helsinki and the charm of the Finnish countryside—all in just a few hours!
Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, making every stop more meaningful. We started with the Helsinki Cathedral, which was even more stunning in person. Then we visited the Sibelius Monument, which had such a peaceful atmosphere. The quick visit to Temppeliaukio (Rock Church) was fascinating—even though entry wasn't included, it was absolutely worth seeing from the outside too.
The drive to Porvoo Old Town was scenic, and once there, it felt like stepping back in time. The cobbled streets, little cafes, and the history behind it all were so captivating. Our guide shared interesting stories, and we even had time to visit the historic Haikko Manor, which added a really elegant touch to the tour.
Back in Helsinki, we stopped at the Olympic Stadium, which was cool to see for sports fans like us, and then spent some time at the Central Library Oodi—a super modern and impressive building. We ended the day at the Old Market Hall, where we grabbed some Finnish snacks and souvenirs.
Highly recommend this tour if you're short on time but want a deep dive into Finnish culture and history. Everything was smooth, comfortable, and informative!
