Overview of your Helsinki tour

Good Morning from Helsinki — the White City! 🇫🇮 This full-day tour combines the best of Finland’s capital with the charm of Porvoo, the country’s second-oldest town. We’ll start by exploring Helsinki’s cultural and historical highlights, getting to know what makes Finnish society so unique. Then, we’ll head out of the city to discover the picturesque village of Porvoo, known for its cobbled streets, colorful wooden houses, and traditional Finnish atmosphere. You’ll have time to browse local craft shops, visit boutique cafés, and experience life at a slower pace. Come explore with me and experience two very different sides of Finland in one unforgettable day!
