This tour is a great way to see some of the countryside outside Helsinki and to learn more about the history, geography and customs of the country. Provo is a very interesting town with lots to see and lots of unique history and sites to see.
We were very lucky to have Darius as our guide - he was outstanding and one of the best guides we have had for any of our tours.

The guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history and didn’t push the shopping too much. It was a nice break from central Helsinki.
