Great way to familiarise oneself with a new city - The boat trip through the islands was really good…lots of local interest, not just a trip round the bay.

Good experience and exciting journey - The boat part was exceptionally good. I didn’t not appreciate so much the bus component because we only moved to one location,, some headphones were not working too.

Great tour that visits most of the Helsinki highlights - Loved the sightseeing cruise, the Rock Church was interesting, we saw a cat cafe near the stop in Fredrikinkatau street, the Helsinki Art Museum had a great Justice League and Star Wars display, and I loved the Esplanade. It was disappointing that the botanical gardens didn’t have a cafe.

Good boat trip - Boat trip was very good but thought the driver on the hop on hop off bus was very unhelpful, hence the loss of one star.

Only one hiccup - The day we visited, Helsinki was the day of the rain. it poured and poured most of the morning. We were very glad that we had the bus and boat tour booked. The bus came in handy. We got to see all the things that we wanted to see. We took the 4pm boat ride which was very nice. By then. It had stopped raining so it was twice as nice. I did nice way to end our day in Helsinki. the big criticism we had is the fact that we took the 4 o’clock boat tour and when we got off the hop on hop off bus no longer ran. We had no idea that we would have to take a cab or walk the miles back to our cruise ship. You need to clarify on the booking info and confirmation that if you take a late boat tour, you will have to find your own way back to wherever you were going. if we had known, we would have to take a cab back and spend more money. We would’ve taken the earlier afternoon tour.

Bus and boat trips worth doing - The boat trip, which provides a great perspective on the islands around Helsinki. Bus tour is also worth doing.

Hop on hop off - Bought a combi ticket for Hop on hop off for both bus and boat. Would definitely emphasize boat trips over the bus trip. The bus trip was ok, but the boat trips in the archipelago and the many stories about the sardines of the past and the Finns' fondness for using the islands were all worth it.
