This tour is suitable for cruise passengers with a harbor stay of at least 7 hours or any other guests who are interested in history and are able to walk on sometimes uneven ground for about an hour. If you have already seen some places of interest in Helsinki, we can spend more time on the Sea Fortress island, if you only stay here for a day, we will have the itinerary as shown below. Half of the time is spent in connection with the Sea Fortress, the other half includes the main sights of Helsinki. We will use an air-conditioned car (maximum three persons) or mini-van (for between four and six persons). Our driver will concentrate on driving while I tell you everything that is worthwhile to know about Helsinki and Finland - and I will try to answer all of your questions. You will hear about the history of the „Daughter of the Baltic Sea", being part of Sweden and of Russia and of course as an independent republic. This tour is also suitable if you stay at a hotel.
I pick you up with a car (max. 3 persons) or mini-van (max. 6 persons). I show you the Esplanade shopping streets and the park area with lots of embassies. The tour goes on to the main street Mannerheimintie, where the Parliament House, the new Centre Library Oodi, the National Museum, the Opera House and the Finlandia Hall are located. You also see the Olympic Stadium, the Sibelius Monument and, if open, the famous Rock church (8 euros /person). We see Senate Square and the open-air market from where our ferry leaves for the Sea Fortress Suomenlinna. The island is virtually closed for cars of non-residents, so we walk there. You also see the only surviving Finnish WW2 submarine. In the summer, there are several coffee places and restaurants open on the island and we have time for a lunch break. After catching a glimpse of some old Russian cannons and visiting the only beach we head back to the ferry that brings us back to the market square, from here we will take a cab (included) back to your cruise ship.

We will use an air-conditioned car (if your party consists of a maximum of three persons) or mini-van (if your party is between four and six persons) for three hours, the other three hours are spent on the ferry (2x 15 minutes), walking on the island (about 1h 15 minutes), taking lunch/coffee breaks (about 1 h) and a few minutes in a cab.
