Finland · SHORE EXCURSIONS
This is the shortlist to send a friend: 4 shore excursions tours that hold up, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
A five-hour Helsinki shore tour with coach, ferry, and expert guiding, ending with a walking visit to UNESCO Suomenlinna.
“De bustour was erg leuk. Harry had een goede stem en kon goed vertellen over de historie en de gebouwen van Helsinki.”
A 4-hour Helsinki shore excursion with a small group, air-conditioned bus, top landmarks, and guaranteed on-time return to your cruise ship.
“Very knowledgeable guide. He was receptive to individual requests. Only negative- this group was hard to find in a very busy port since he did not have a sign identifying the tour. Also difficult to follow him on crowded streets. A sign or identifiable outfit would have helped.”
Helsinki sights plus a round-trip ferry to Suomenlinna in about 5 hours, with harbor pickup and an English guide.
“Our guide Harry was very informative, patient, courteous, showed us an exhibit in the Lutheran church, and navigated us through the Pride Parade. The ferry ride to Sumolina was fun and he showed us all the highlights of the town and fortress. We got to spend time in a lovely garden. It was wonderful picking up the ferry at the fortress, so we didn't have to walk all the way back. It was a very nice day. The bus driver was also very informative and friendly as well.”
A 4-hour Helsinki shore excursion with port pickup, guided highlights, cathedral and stadium sights, plus free time at Market Square.
“Nice tour, it seemed like it was organized last minute, the bus was later than expected and the guide sounded like he didn’t plan to be there for the tour.”
One list per kind of day, north and south.
