Helsinki Day Trip from Tallinn

I was picked up at allotted time and brought to the ferry terminal on time.My problems only arised at the Helsinki side when I went to look for tour bus,nobody knew anything.So I had to make my own way to the city and amuse myself,.Very disappointed again With Viator and the lack of information.nobody told me where to get bus and when I asked drivers outside terminal they knew nothing To be honest it would be cheaper to book the ferry yourself and do your own thing.After this second disaster tour in Estonia,that is my last time ever using Viator.Angry,disappointed Brian from Ireland

This tour was amazing!

A convenient way to see both countries at the same time if you are staying for a short time.

Even though I love Helsinki, I did not recommend this tour, as I think you can arrange this on your own. The tour company only picked me up, dropped me off at the habour and I was very much on my own. Not to mention I missed the tour bus - the direction was so ambiguous...

In general, I am a person that takes as many day trips as possible because it is a good way to get to know a different country/city in a very short time. Of course, this was not the exception. in theory, the trip is good, but is very self-done, so there is really no guide or you feel pretty much on your own. The company picks you and drops you in the harbor to do the check-in at the ferry counter. That is Ok, but when we got to Helsinki, it was raining and we waited for the supposed bus that never arrived. We went to the touristic office and they told us that the map was tricky and that is why we missed where the tour bus had stopped. Because it was Saturday and in May, there was another bus at 1pm and the people there were kind enough to change our tickets. Additionally we had 8 hours of free time, which would be fine in any other circumstance, but it was raining a lot so really there was not much we could do but wait in restaurants for time to go by. we returned to Tallin at 11.55pm and there was nobody waiting for us to take us to the Hotel... that was something that at that moment after being so tired would have been a plus. Net, if I had booked the ferry and a hop on-hop off on my own, it would have been less expensive and I would have been aware that I would have to do everything myself, but in the end, I think it is worth visiting Helsinki, even on your own!

Good trip. Not much time to get from the ferry to the bus, and nowhere to buy a tram ticket. But apart from that it was a good day and a great place to visit.

This tour was one of the best highlights of our holiday in Tallinn. We found the package with all the details as promised at our hotel's desk a day before. The driver was exactly on time to take us to the harbour and the trip to Helsinki on the Viking was excellent, however the ship arrived a few minutes late (10 minutes) which meant that we had to rush and take a taxi to be on time for the city tour. The tour around Helsinki was very informative and comprehensive. I would recommend this tour to anybody who is interested to visit another capital city when in Tallinn.
