Summary:
Paulo was very kind, he was with us since we landed, he took us to see the city, the main tourist attractions, he gave us tips on cafes, shops and restaurants.
It was really cool to learn a little more about the history of this beautiful place and how the people live. At the end of the trip we went to Porvoo, a small medieval town with wooden houses, super cool!
I recommend 😊
