Great tour so with the hop on hop off. When we go to see cities we always book these buses. For this one we found 30 minutes between buses just too long. I would rather go for 30 minutes.

Did this with my family—2 kids and my partner—and it was a HIT! The kids loved the headphones and we all enjoyed the stories. Helsinki is so pretty from the top deck.

Took the Hop-On Hop-Off bus with my partner and it made our Helsinki weekend sooo breezy. Loved that you could just jump off at the Rock Church, grab a coffee, then catch the next bus. Audio guide was pretty chill, not boring at all. Only thing—if it’s windy, top deck gets COLD (bring a scarf!). Would totally do again.

Super convenient! I had a layover and this bus was a lifesaver. Managed to see the best bits in just a few hours. Buses were clean, and the schedule is easy to follow.

Did this solo, was a good way to get my bearings in Helsinki. Buses were mostly on time tho had to wait 18 mins at one stop (Senate Square), not a biggie. The info on the guide was fun—didn’t know Helsinki had so much art deco! Only wish the window downstairs was a bit cleaner for pics.

Can’t believe how easy this was. Got off at the Sibelius thing (the one with pipes), then at the flea market. My partner loved all the random facts from the guide. Would do again for sure.

Family of four, best way to see Helsinki. Buses were frequent, and the drivers were friendly. Kids loved waving at people from the top deck. Only negative: too much traffic near Senate Square, but not their fault.

Nice route, covers the big sights. Some seats up top were wet from rain, but staff wiped them down for us. Bring a jacket just in case!

I did the bus tour on a rainy day and honestly, best choice. Warm inside, didn’t get wet, plus the windows are big so you can still see everything. Audio was clear, though wish there were more local music tracks. Stops are close to all the biggies. Worth it for bad weather days.

Good experience overall. The audio guide is in tons of languages. Buses were a tad late, but Helsinki traffic is wild sometimes. Just be patient.
