Robert – United Kingdom

5 year old liked the ferry and the cannons. 8 year old liked Suomenlinna and the churches. it was all very good and a great way to see a lot in just one day. Sanna was an excellent guide!

K
Kimberly – United States

Enjoyed our tour with Harry and the ferry ride was great! Saw a good deal of Helsinki and the hotel pick-up was appreciated. They do not coordinate drop-off as an FYI so you will be responsible for your return after the ferry ride. Very enjoyable!
