Good tour ! - On time departure. Interesting tour to see islands in Bay of Finland. Would not describe it as a canal tour. Maybe an issue of language translation ?

A lovely way to enjoy the coastal area around Helsinki - Instructions for joining the trip were clear and easy to follow. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the bay, especially as weather was fine and warm! Commentary in more than one language was a little confusing but did mot spoil the experience Well worth the ticket price.

A beautiful walk - The cruise takes a long tour, skirting the small islands around Helsinki. Throughout, a guide gives us interesting information. It's a beautiful walk.

Take a Moment in Helsinki - Great tour of the archipelago outside Helsinki. A cursory view of how the area developed and the nations involved. The PA was a little muddy, making it hard to hear at times. The boat was clean, spacious and ticketing was a breeze. Recommended!

Helsinki cruise - Great boat trip to see the islands and summer houses along the water. Recommend taking the first tour in the morning. It was easy to get a seat at the railing. And we didn’t have to queue at the pier waiting for the boat to return from the prior tour.

Hard to hear guide - Nice boat. Water was low so we didn’t get to go on the tour we purchased. Audio was over a loud speaker and in several different languages. Very hard to hear with everyone talking. Would have been more enjoyable with headphones so you could choose your own language. I would not go on this tour again.

Nive boat ride, but difficult to hear the recorded audio of information - This was a nice boat ride around the harbor, but the audio was pretty bad and difficult to hear/understand at times with the boat motor running. Not sure I would recommend it

Disappointed - Being out on the water was fun. Unfortunately we could not do the route around the islands that was advertised. Because of low water levels they stayed closer to the city or “city tour”. We really didn’t see that much.

Pretty dull - Pretty dull. Won’t see anything different than you do from the dock. Staff wasn’t great, kinda rude downstairs and the wind had chairs falling over.
