  • 1DO NOT USE STROMMA!

    The drivers are ignorant and do not stop at designated stops. They are constantly running late and do not take responsibility for the drivers.

  • 1Book with literally anyone else

    Avoid Stromma if you value your time, especially on a cruise port stop. This was hands down the worst hop-on hop-off experience we’ve ever had and completely ruined what should have been an enjoyable day in Helsinki. We took their bus from the port into the city center, only to spend 72 minutes standing in the rain with a growing crowd of frustrated passengers waiting for another bus that never seemed to come — meanwhile, buses from the competing company kept arriving with no issue. When we finally got moving again, things somehow got worse. Just two stops later, the driver abruptly pulled over and sat there for 20 more minutes because he needed a break. No explanation, no communication, no idea what was happening until the wait was over. At that point, we no longer felt comfortable getting off to explore because we had zero confidence we’d make it back to our ship on time. What should have been a fun day exploring Helsinki turned into a stressful, expensive waste of money. To make matters worse, they also operate in Stockholm, and several of our shipmates reported having equally terrible experiences there. Save yourself the frustration and book with literally anyone else.

    Hope for better weather. Cold, overcast day. Good chance to visit some out-of-the-way places which deserve a look.

  • 5Fun way to enjoy city in winter

    Great way to see a different part of the City. The bus was still a little cold in winter but if you’re bundled up it was fine.

  • 3OK way to spend a couple of hours to get an overall feel for the city.

    Good to get an overall view and impression of the city. Not enough commentary and not always sinked. One part said welcome back from the Rock church but we had not even stopped there, and in fact didn't even see it from the bus.

  • 5Perfect tour for a first time trip to Helsinki, protected from cold weather

    The recorded commentary was interesting not boring. The two stops were just the right length to walk around a little, take a couple photos, and use toilet if needed, without getting too cold (at least on the day I took the tour). The length and departure time of the tour were ideal as well.

About Helsinki

Helsinki is Finland's capital on the Baltic, a compact seaside city of neoclassical squares, Art Nouveau streets, design shops and saunas.

The white neoclassical Helsinki Cathedral looks down on Senate Square, and the red-brick Uspenski Cathedral stands on a rocky headland to the east. Carl Ludvig Engel planned the city centre in the early nineteenth century after Finland passed to Russia, and Art Nouveau houses line the streets of Katajanokka and Eira. The Market Square on the harbour front has stalls of fish, berries and crafts, with the Old Market Hall nearby.

Top-ranked sights in Helsinki: Helsinki Senate Square (Senaatintori), Uspenski Cathedral, Helsinki Central Library Oodi.
