We had absolutely the best time with Peter. Everything was so well organized, his tour was super interesting and we left feeling that we really saw the best of Helsinki and Porvoo. Highly recommend this tour and guide. We went in bad snowy weather in January and didn’t even care because we were so enthralled and immersed in the stories and atmosphere of the Finnish winter wonderland. Thank you Peter !

We had a great time on this tour. The guide was very entertaining with challenges and questions and historical information that made the tour an adventure. It was a large group and despite this she was always attentive to everyone.

As there was limited time to get off the bus a longer tour with more information would be great, or additionally, the ability to go around multiple times.

It was a very good tour, well explained, the guide was friendly! It was a good time

Wonderful couple of hours - thoroughly enjoyed the education
