Brief history of the city - I always recommend this to everyone who doesn't have a lot of time in the city. It is a great way to know the place in a short period of time. I enjoyed the history of Helsinki, seeing the beautiful pieces of architecture, parks, markets, etc. Nice experience!

See the city - This tour is a great way to see the city and there seemed to be regular buses too. The stops are clearly signed so it shouldn't cause any confusion and the tour can be ideal for a sunny or rainy day.

Helsinki by bus - A good way too see the sights of Helsinki, helps you get your bearings. Just be aware there are two Hop on Hop off buses run in Helsinki so make sure you get the right one, they do share a few stops beside each other.

Will probably have to go back next time. - Did not get the chance to see the tourist attractions as there was only one tour for the day when we took Hop On Hop Off Helsinki Tour.

Meh... Better skip. - First of all, the driver was amazing, funny and friendly! But... he was talking at the same time as the recording but not in the recording channel. The recording kept resetting and not in sync with what we were seeing. It was a very short trip and really not worth the money. You'd better just take a day ticket and take the tram yourself. This is nobody's fault but the bus was full of screaming children while their parents sat separately and didn't care. Such horrible behavior. I couldn't wait to get off the bus. This was simply a horrible experience for me. But the driver was amazing!

With out the on off - This was called hop on hop off without the on off part As it was November and the winter season they don’t do on off and it only goes round twice a day There is recorded information to listen to but the driver was talking over this giving his version so very hard to listen to either

It is free eith card - Included in Helsinki card so it is free I WOULD NEVER BUY IT The reason just shows houses that are no descript. In Helsinki all the major sites are at most a 15 to 20 minute walk .if needed and you are tired take the tram. The bus passes near some sites but you still to walk anyeay so why bitter with this expense
