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.

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.

Great tours - Great bud your and an even better boat tour. The boat is more like a ferry boat with a too dark, bar, and restaurant as well as rest rooms. It would be helpful if your website listed more information on the bus route stops. We misse stop 1 and waited for 20 minutes at stop 2 but could have walked to the next stop if we knew where it was

Worst excursion ever! - This excursion was beyond terrible. Bus did not pick us up at our ship but had to walk to nearby terminal. Waited on line almost an hour in the rain, then bus finally showed up and the driver was unintelligible. Never explained our sites details. Couldn’t find stop to arrive back at ship, so took taxi for $36 . Don’t ever use Red sightseeing. Horrible in all respects!
