Nice tour but to be honest I would not recommend the tour of Porvoo. It took almost one hour to drive each way and we were given about one hour of free time there. The part of the old town that we visited was nothing more than a tourist center. Personally I would have preferred to spend more time in Helsinki.
This trip was overpriced. We were...

We had an excellent tour guide,Maria. We went to Porvoo early in the day and then did the best of Helsinki highlights later in the day. This was a great idea that allowed us to avoid large crowds and allowed flexibility to ensure we were back to the ship with plenty of time to spare. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and personable and made the drive to and from Porvoo very informative and entertaining. We loved Porvoo!
The time in Helsinki ended with the opportunity to eat and shop at the city market. This was great and Maria offered great suggestions of some of the local food to try,
This was a 5 star experience!

Excellent tour with wonderful English speaking guide. It was a bus tour through Helsinki with several stops to see important Helsinki statues and busts. Porvoo Town was very small and cute. More time probably needed to fully explore the shops and restaurants in Porvoo.
The bus was very comfortable and pickup times were adhered to.

An excellent day - in the morning we visited the Sibelius monument set in a wonderful park opposite the beach, the intriguing Rock Church and the beautiful Cathedral with plenty of time for looking around each of them. We also had time to explore the produce and crafts market. The fruit and vegetables on sale were wonderful - especially the raspberries. Our guide. Cornelia, was a delightful lady who spoke excellent English and we were lucky to be just a small party of 10 people. From Helsinki town we then travelled out through the countryside for about 50 kilometers to reach the medieval town of Porvoo. We saw the old wooden shore houses and then walked up to the cathedral, and down again to the old town where there were some delightful shops and restaurants. We had time here for lunch and also to visit the chocolate shop to tase the Finnish chocolate before travelling back to port to rejoin the ship.
Great tour and excellent tour guide...

PÉSIMO TOUR
RICARDOROJAS
, Aug 2019
El peor tour que hayamos tomado. Nos ofrecieron 6 horas de tour y nos dieron menos de 4.5 horas. El guía Vladimir pésimo, cero empático, muy mal inglés y parecía tener prisa de terminar el tour cuanto antes, desde el principio empezó a eliminar puntos de interés, como por ejemplo nos dirigíamos a la Iglesia de la Roca, pero el guía dijo que había que caminar mucho (3 cuadras), que seguramente habría muchos turistas (obvio pues es una atracción importante) y que mejor lo buscáramos en Google y no nos llevó!! Y eso de mejor buscarlo en Google lo mencionó varias veces, entonces si todo lo podemos encontrar en Google, para qué pagamos un tour??? La “parada” en el centro de Helsinki fue de 10 minutos!!! 10 minutos para “conocer” esta importante ciudad??? Simplemente Vladimir, Ulko Tours y Viator nos arruinaron un tour del que teníamos grandes expectativas e ilusión. Simplemente pésimo.
Response from Host , Aug 2019

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
