From the second I got in touch with Mikhail, I knew this was going to be an amazing day. And it was. The words that come to mind when I think about my trip to Porvoo are interesting, delightful, and beyond amazing guide (who was also great company)....definitely a highlight of my time in Finland. Mikhail is a great guide who clearly knows a lot about Porvoo and its history. He's very interested in making sure his clients interests are met and that the tour fits what they're wanting. He has a gentle demeanour and you can tell he absolutely loves what he does. We walked all over the town, which is very picturesque, and it was truly a wonderful day in every regard!
