Overall rating

4.5 / 5

based on 156 reviews

Very good option for people who travel on cruise ships and who do not have much time to get to know the city, it is worth it, since the bus leaves directly from the disembarkation area and returns you to the same place, it also gives you a very good explanation and relevant data, and if time permits you can get off and get to know the places that are of most interest to you, you also have Internet on the bus. The prices are affordable and different from the transportation options and tours offered by cruise ships.

A very good way to see everything and locate the places where you can return later with the same means of transport. A good audio commentary.

Excellent! Very accommodating and nice driver and easy to access the place

Perfect taken care of at the foot of the Poesia, audio guide in French.

Great tour for those who aren’t sure what to do in Helsinki.
