One hour excursion in Helsinki - It was great experience! The fee was really normal. One hour of beautuful visit the capital of Finland by the sea - length enough. Very nice excursion. Great history to be heard.

Rainy Cruise - The weather was rainy but the trip was pleasant. A special thanks to Madhumita who served us with a smile which is a blessing on a rainy day.

Directions to the boat... - Directions to the boat should be very clear. The market place has many stands. You should clearly state that we should look for the boat and not a person with a red flag

Completely ok - Completely ok experience. However, 1) there had been rain about 15 min prior to us arriving at the boat (no more rain during the trip), and the seats outside were wet, nobody on the boat cared to sweep them dry for us, and 2) there is quite a lot of chatter from less interested tourists, so it would have been good to increase the volume somewhat, or made it possible to receive the info about the surroundings by headsets rather than a speaker. Just a suggestion. Also, the price of sodas onboard were insanely hight, they might have sold much more with more reasonable pricing.

Pretty underwhelming... - Pretty underwhelming experience. The trip consisted of going around in a slow circle out at sea with not much to look at — just distant buildings along the coastline. They played a recording for commentary, but no one could actually hear it, which made it even more pointless. Overall, it felt long, boring, and not worth the time or money. Wouldn’t recommend.

Trip cancelled. No refund! - Paid for a trip via Trip Advisor but it was cancelled due to lack of customers. Was told I had to write to the tour company about refund as I did not pay them directly. Did this. No reply no refund. £50 for no trip.

Still no refund - Our trip was cancelled due to fog and it’s been 2 months but I still haven’t received our refund from the tickets. I bought the tickets online.
