Helsinki Cruise Reviews

Shuttle was provided at a reasonable price and we were glad we opted for this as else it would have been a very long walk. Fascinating food market by harbour where we were dropped; all sorts of meat for sale-reindeer, elk, moose etc with a dazzling array of fish. Lots of beautiful buildings to see, the highlight being the Russian Orthodox Cathedral where we witnessed a service which was ...

Loved this stop, nice friendly and attractive city,. We went on a guided 3 hour bike ride along the sea front and parks excellent. ...

the dullest city i have ever visited in 45 years of travel. it is so boring and dull that the only thing worth seeing is the outside of the train station and the library ...

We took the following excursion: Helsinki Highlights. We made 3 stops: Senate Square, Temppeliaukio Rock Church and Sibelius Monument. Not so bad! ...

We had an overnight here, which allowed time for a tour of the city, the Sibelius monument, and the Church in the Rock.

Locals in tourist areas speak English. Don't miss the indoor and outdoor markets ...

Great port and a two day stopover in lieu of St Petersburg. ...

10 mins bus ride into town. Did independent exploring. Plenty of shuttle buses and accessible transport too. Went to Europe's largest electrical shop. Ate out at a chicken wings place, lovely.

For the first day we used Tours by Locals and our tour guide, Timo was fantastic. The first part of the tour took us to Porvoo, a charming medieval city with lost of great shops. We were only supposed to spend an hour there but ended up being there for mor than two. We then returned to Helsinki to see the main sites including the churches. We also went to the library which is one of the most ...

Very nice people and the market on the water is cool. Try some of the local food! ...
