We were on a cruise and as Helsinki sights are a little far apart and not do-able by foot, we chose to go with the sightseeing hop on/off buses- as with most ports, there are a number of companies lined up outside, cruise transfers just to the city centre and back were 40euro for a family of 4- so were...

As other writers have noted, there are two hop on hop off bus companies in Helsinki. We were on a cruise with one short day and chose "Sightseeing" over "Open Top" not for any particular reason. Both itineraries seemed to get a rider around most of the city. There is a red line and a blue line that intersect at... More

There is more than one hop on hop off bus company in Helsinki. We chose Open Top over Sightseeing, because Open Top buses were supposed to come every half hour instead of every hour. It worked out okay, but it's a bit below the average of other hop on hop off vehicles (bus and boats) that we've taken. For one... More

We took the hop on hop off bus tour as we had one day from our cruise ship. If you're okay with walking a bit, I would just take the shuttle. The bus did not have very good headphones and the information kept cutting in and out. The information was very interesting. It was kinda frusterating because the bus comes... More

The Hop On Hop Off bus tour is the BEST way to see ALL the sites of Helsinki while learning an amazing amount about this beautiful city and enjoying a fun and comfortable ride around town! Their double-decker buses provide fantastic views of the sights, and the audio tour (which is available in numerous languages) is a real pleasure to... More

Two tours of this lovely city for E25 was fairly good value. The first & main tour was 75 minutes duration (if you chose to stay on the bus) & the 2nd was 45 minutes. The green & yellow tours took you over most of the city & the commentary was very informative. The main stop is outside the cathedral.... More

Helsinki is too big to cover on foot, so we used the Hop On Off tour (not sure which company). We liked it since we don't speak Fin and wanted the english audio comentary. Visited all the main attractions. We misunderstood the timetable and took the western loop late in the day and then missed the last bus connection to... More

There are two Hop on Hop off bus tours in Helsinki. The more popular one appears to be the Open Top Tours that departs off the Senate square. This tour has two routes of about one hour each. While there was nothing wrong with the service of this tour, I did not find it worth the money given the small... More
