Porvoo is very small and obviously you can walk and see everything by foot. Just be aware that in the old town its also old stone streets and you will not be very comfortable with high heels

try the flights through Expedia using Finnair. Around £250 from LHR. Top tip is the go with Ryanair to tallin (Estonia) and get the cheap ferry across to Helsinki.

This is very new sightseeing car-train, I am not sure about this tour quality or the price but as this old city is so small anyway you can really just walk anywhere in this place.

Yes, there is this service here and you can use it to take you around this city, very useful to use it on the stone streets of the old city, and you might even find it romanric :-)
