Helsinki Private Tour Medieval Porvoo****
A half day that hits the highlights and keeps moving. This private Helsinki and Porvoo outing strings together iconic landmarks and a real medieval-feeling side trip to Porvoo. You get pickup anywhere in the Helsinki region, plus onboard Wi-Fi to keep your maps and messages working.
I especially like how it balances big Helsinki sights with the slower, cobblestone charm of Porvoo old town. Porvoo brings narrow streets, colorful wooden buildings, and those riverside warehouses that have stood for hundreds of years.
The main thing to watch is that the schedule is fairly full for a 4 to 5 hour tour, so you only get short windows at each stop, and Temppeliaukio Church admission is not included.
