Money Saver: hop-on hop-off bus- en sightseeing-boottocht

The bus was scheduled to stop running between 4 and 5 pm. I thought I would have to walk back along distance to the ship, but the bus company transferred the ship passengers to one bus that got us to to the ship at 6 just before it took off. Greatly appreciated.

The hop on hop off bus and the cruise are good ways to see Helsinki, both land and sea. The start pick ups are located centrally near or at the market square. For the cruise, this was a gentle circuit around the close islands/archipelago - quite interesting to see and good value. The hop on hop off bus covers a lot of good ground in the Helsinki city. Once on the bus, it was relaxing and the driver was friendly. A couple minor feedback points - clarity can be added to ensure the driver knows the ticket that relates to the tour company. Sometimes there is uncertainty because there are two hop on hop off buses with separate companies. Clearer signage on the bus or on TripAdvisor ticket will help. Also better clarity on when the bus will arrive (on estimate) at a particular location will help. Sometimes, it is possible to wait 30-45 mins at a particular stop because of uncertainty of when the bus will come next. These small things will help the tourist have a more effective and smoother experience. Thank you!

The boat trip was good even on a cold grey day. Only downside was buses meant to come along every 20 mins but we waited 45 mins for our bus to get back to our ship.
