Not a good value.

You will travel from Helsinki to Porvoo (and back) on a regular Intercity bus. Guide will buy you tickets and will show you the seats. Guide will not comment or describe anything you see on the way. Then, the guide will show you briefly a few places around Porvoo, give very brief basic comments and let you walk around Porvoo for an hour or so. IMHO, you should save your money and do this trip yourself.

Fantastic tour to Porvoo. Francisco, our tour guide lead us and knowledgeably informed us about an older part of Finland, its history and importance. Great time exploring the town.
A special and peaceful encounter

A very pleasant visit, with interesting information in a spectacular place. Harry has been a very interesting and insightful companion; we have tried the food and dessert he recommended to us. I recommend booking to visit
