    Had a great time with Darius! He picked me up from my hotel at the airport right on time. He had loads of information and was happy to answer any of my questions. Be prepared to walk all over Helsinki and see all the important sights. Highly recommend this tour!

    Highly recommended tour guide
    We had a 9 hour layover in Helsinki are arranged a Helsinki tour. Darius was fantastic. It was -5 deg C and 20 cm snow outside. Darius picked us up at the airport, drove us to Helsinki, and we walked around for 3 hours. We would walk for 10 min, then duck into a building to warm up. Lots of interesting buildings, and a great hot chocolate stop! We used up a lot of energy and sleep soundly on our next 13 hour leg to Singapore! Darius has a history degree and it really showed in the depth of knowledge about Finnish history, both ancient and modern. He was happy to answer any questions we had and expanded on things we were interested in. I particularly want to point out how good driver Darius is. Even though the roads were snowy and icy, I felt completely safe with him behind the wheel.

    Helsinki with Darius!
    Well, I could not have been more pleased with the layover tour I took with Darius. He not only showed me many of Helsinki’s main sites, but gave me the history to go with it. Being a historian, he would naturally be good at his job. He was patient with all my picture taking and thoughtfully considered each question I asked him. All of my other layovers have been self-exploration. This changed my mind going forward on using a tour.

    Wonderful stopover tour in Helsinki
    I had 7 hours layover time in Helsinki on my way returning from Moscow to the States. This trip is a hidden gem for a great city tour to see highlights of Helsinki, including Helsinki Cathedral, Uspenski Cathedral, Esplanadi park and Kauppatori. The most memorable experience of my trip is attending Sunday morning service at Temppeliaukio Kirkko. Even though I can only stay for the first 15 mins due to my tight schedule, it is a wonderful experience to enjoy heavenly music in the church of the rock!!!

Excellent experience. Tour guide shared information about specific landmarks in Porvoo and the history that went with them. If I had gone by myself, I would have thought “Some old buildings” but the tour brought the town to life for me! Worth every penny! The guide kept to my pace and offered several coffee stops along the way in case I needed a break. Souvenir shop and chocolate shop visits along the way completed the experience. I learned a lot about the history of Finland and the Finnish way of life during the ride there and back. I highly recommend this tour!

Darius was a great guide. He shared so much information about Finish history and culture and shared so many details about Porvoo. Porvoo is a charming town, definitely worth a trip out to see. Thank you Darius for making the tour so interesting.

This trip is just lovely! Our guide Darius was most pleasant, professional and friendly. I definitely think it was by far the best day of my week long visit in Finland. The village is beautiful and certainly worth visiting and all the information our guide shared with us about Finland, it’s history and its people was just as interesting. I could not recommend this tour more!

Our guide to Porvoo was so knowledgeable about the history of Finland. He was polite and respectful and made you feel safe in a small group setting. He shared his thoughts and knowledge about the Finnish people and culture. The ride ivet was comfortable and he was very accommodating to what we wanted to do and when we wanted to eat or go into souvenir shops. And excellent last day in Finland.

Visited Porvoo with Darius as my guide. He brought the history of the town alive with his stories. I leant so much of Finland’s history, culture and interaction with neighbouring countries.
It was a very enjoyable day, and I highly recommend Darius and his service

If you’re traveling in the Helsinki area and have an extra morning to spare, you might want to consider taking this tour to the UNESCO protected town of Porvoo. The guide I used, Darius, was extremely informative. In addition to learning about the local lore, he also was a wealth of knowledge on Finland society, politics, and definitely imparted an overall understanding of the country, the people and the local way of thinking. Really enjoyable and thoroughly recommended.
