I loved the hop on hop off bus tour because I always learn more about the entire area. The driver was excellent in maneuvering some of the narrow roads with parked cars along the way. It was fun to learn so much history about Helsinki.

The Helsinki Hop-On Hop-Off City Tour is a perfect way to see the highlights of this beautiful city in a short period of time. The accompanying audio was easy to listen to and gave a brief description of each site. There were a few times when I wasn't sure where the site was that was being described. All in all, it was a great experience and would definitely recommend it to other travelers. KarenR.

Always a must do. We do this every country we visit to get the lay of the land, the history and the opportunity to decide what we want to see first or if time restricted. This company never lets us down. Would highly recommend it

There are several of these operators and even their buses look the same or similar. The casual observer would think they are the same. We tried to get on one and were told it was a different company. They directed us to a bus parked a few years away. We came on a cruise ship and used them to book the bus because the cruise gave us a small discount that made their service slightly cheaper than booking directly with the local company. We read several horror stories about people missing the last bus back to the docks and almost missing the ship, so I was very careful about verifying the pick up spots and if we would make it back to the ship in time. This paid off because the bus we were on skipped a huge number of scheduled stops just to get us back to the ship on time. We had less than an hour to spare.

This is a great way to see and experience the city if you were staying for a day only. Great experience for my mum and I. There's wifi on board and our last driver was really helpful with the passengers. Unfortunately I didn't catch his name.

The bus was late picking us up at the cruise terminal, but got underway quickly once we were on board. Very timely the rest of the day. City was on holiday but still got to see plenty of sights.

Staff of City Tour Red buses in Helsinki is very friendly and what is most important they follow their timetable. So it's really very easy to hop off and you don't have to wait very long till another bus is coming.

This is the best way to go sightseeing when you have little time in town as it helps to have an overview of the city and to hop off by the top attractions.

My wife and I decided to do the Hop On Hop Off Red line tour because we only had about 6 to 7 hours to experience Helsinki. We picked it up at the Cruise Dock Area and some of the stops we got off were at the Rock Church, City Central near the Art Deco Railway Station, and the Senate Square. You have many choices and can see a lot of the city this way. We also had done these type of HO-HO buses in Barcelona and in Talinn, Estonia. We would recommend this mode of transportation in a heartbeat as since we are in our 60's it keeps our amount of walking to a manageable amount.

Once again a nice bus tour (October 19th) around Helsinki with stop near the Sea Life & Borgbacken amusement park. A friendly bus host at the (start) stop on Senate square.

We were particularly pleased that we had included the boat option. Even though the weather was not to our liking we made the most of our Viator tour and enjoyed the experience of seeing the sights of Helsinki from the bus and boat.

Good way to see the city before deciding what to explore in detail. Also good for a cold or rainy day activity. You can start the tour on any stops on the way. Tickets can be bought on the bus. We were offered a discount on this particular day early October.

We came from Tallin, but with Star company (not Viking or Silja line), and arrived at Hernesaari Cruise terminal.which is far away from closer hop-on hop-off bus stop. The whole journey takes an hour and a half, and last bus departs from senator square at 16:00, which is really soon and not adviced in advertisment. Not a good option, in my experience. And really expensive: 30€ pp.

First of all, note that there are two separate companies operating hop-on-hop-off buses in Helsinki. They are City Sightseeing and City Tours. City Sightseeing is the one we took, which is connected to the Helsinki Card. It has 18 stops; the other has 22. They pretty much cover the same areas. The problem with the bus we took (which was covered by the Helsinki Card was that the driver offered very little information in addition to what was in the recorded audio.

We got on the bus at Senate Square. We wandered around until we got to the back side of the bus route. Then we got off the bus and we saw what we thought was Helsinki was all about. We then walked back to Senate Square from there that was very interesting
