Informative city tour - I hopped on in Senate Square, and the stop was very easy to find. I had booked my pass online in advance, but it was also possible to buy one from a nearby stand. The audio was informative, and made it clear which stop was the next one. Said stops were also close to places of interest. I hopped off to see the Rock Church, and then walked to the Sibelius Monument. The latter was also on the bus route, and I didn't have to wait too long to hop on again. My ticket was valid for 48 hours, and so I did the tour in full the next day. I have done City Sightseeing tours in a few other cities, and have always been impressed. Thanks for everything!

Good introduction to the city - I typically try the Hop-On, Hop-Off bus in each new city I visit, to get an introduction to the layout and all of the important sites. This bus was on time and completed the route in the 1.5 hours listed, and provided a good overview of the city. Of note, I did not get off the bus (due to my own time restrictions), so I cannot comment on wait times in between busses. The only detraction was the audio - it did not work for the 1st 2 stops, prompting passengers to notify the driver. The driver fixed the problem, but be wary that this can happen and to notify the driver immediately. Also, the 1st bus stop is not adjacent to a building with facilities. If you need to use the bathroom, you will have to walk for 5 minutes to a public toilet across from Senate Square. Thus, plan for at least 15 minutes if you need a restroom break prior to the trip, as there are no facilities on board.

Very good. - It was very good tour sold by Francisco, who did not lie, instead sold the Helsinki card that allowed me to enter free of charge in various attractions, in addition to the route of the bus, which could even be increased, but what has is good.

Try something else. - I would have expected something more than what I got. The guidance was sparse and difficult to hear, as the bus sounded incredibly much. The 30-minute interval on the buses is not enough. I stood in a place where there was only one bus every hour and the traffic in Helsinki is so heavy and sluggish that it is almost impossible to get there.

Slow - We boarded at stop 13. Then we had to wait more than 30 minutes at the starting point. Poor service, no explanation.

Not worth it, long waits - Not worth it. Long waits. Drop offs not close to sites. Public transport was super easy. Other city hop ons are much better.
