Worthwhile tour in the winter/spring months. - Great information on this tour and a 20 minute stop at the Church in the Rock. Very worthwhile. Highly recommend. No other stop offs but was snowing so wouldn’t have anyway!

Great winter tour - Throughly enjoyed our tour. We visited Helsinki in January so taking a bus tour was ideal. The audio was offered in several languages so I think it would be open to most visitors. We saw all of the big tourist attractions and were given time to visit the Rock Church. Worth the money and our driver was great. Not sure how he negotiated some of those streets with all the snow/slush, but he did!

Bus sightseeing is worthwhile !!! - We bought 5 adult tickets online for Helsinki Panorama Bus Sightseeing . Walked from our apartment to the pickup point. It is double decker bus with free wifi on-board. We collect the headphone and map for directional references. The bus is comfortable . The journey starts exactly at 11.00am . The Bus takes us through various tourist attractions . . The headphones are good ,you can choose your choice of language commentary, the audio commentary was clear with music. The Bus do make a stop at Temppeliaukio Church (Rock church) for 20 mins. We went down, it took us approximately 7 mins walk from bus to church, which means basically we were left with just 6 mins to take a look inside the church. Looking at the queue outside the Church, we gave up the tour on the church . We walk back to bus to continue our ride. This Bus tour begins and ends at the Esplanade Park. All in all, we find this 1 hr 45 mins Bus sightseeing is worthwhile as the tour shows us interesting views of city, giving us information on the past and present of Helsinki.

Enjoyable, insightful and comfortable - We were shown almost all of the important landmarks. The audio was clear and insightful. The crew was friendly, interior of bus was warm and ride was comfortable. The only landmark we missed seeing was the Helsinki Cathedral, but this was a 5 minute walk away from the bus drop off point, so it wasnt a big deal. Definitely recommend to get a quick overview of the place.

Pleasant but needs more time - A lovely ride and the educational audio was super useful. As many have already said, the time allocated to visit the Rock Church is not enough for you to actually walk there and buy a ticket. Please listen to feedback and amend your itinerary. You can easily make the tour 2 hours instead of one hour 45 minutes so that people can actually visit a place and get some value Otherwise it’s quite a nice quick way to sight see from the bus

Disappointing bus tour due to very poor commentary - A good way to get a quick overview of the city and the only way on a weekday in winter. However as others have said it could be so much more, very very limited complementary and a lot of filling music played. They could give so much more information on the history and places, it feels very lazy and very over priced for what you get but as there’s no competition maybe not surprisingly just disappointing. The bus was full and the one stop doesn’t really work in the time but a a cold day it saves an awful lot of walking to get a simply overview of the geography and sights of the city.

If you are paying cash, reconsider. - This is a 90 minute tour which hits the major spots but didn't give a lot of info on the places and history. Some but not a lot. It stops at the Rock Church for 30 of these 90 minutes. I'd already been so that was a waste of time for me. The biggest issue I would have had is this costs about $38. I had the Helsinki card so it was paid for me but if I was going into it cold I would say this is worth about $10, not nearly $38.
