5.00It was great experience! The fee was really normal. One hour of beautuful visit the capital of Finland by the sea - length enough. Very nice excursion. Great history to be heard.

4.00Directions to the boat should be very clear. The market place has many stands. You should clearly state that we should look for the boat and not a person with a red flag
Pretty underwhelming...

2.00Pretty underwhelming experience. The trip consisted of going around in a slow circle out at sea with not much to look at — just distant buildings along the coastline. They played a recording for commentary, but no one could actually hear it, which made it even more pointless. Overall, it felt long, boring, and not worth the time or money. Wouldn’t recommend.
Trip cancelled. No refund!

1.00Paid for a trip via Trip Advisor but it was cancelled due to lack of customers. Was told I had to write to the tour company about refund as I did not pay them directly. Did this. No reply no refund. £50 for no trip.
