The experience

The day starts with pickup from your Tallinn hotel and transfer to the harbor. A 2-hour ferry crossing brings you to Helsinki, where your guide meets you at the terminal. From there, you move through the city by car and on foot, visiting the neoclassical Senate Square with its white Helsinki Cathedral, the ornate red-brick Uspenski Cathedral, and the Temppeliaukio Rock Church built directly into bedrock. You'll also pass the Sibelius Monument. The guide shapes the pace and the stops. You're not navigating on your own.

The tour wraps before your ferry departure, and the return crossing takes another 2 hours. Hotel drop-off happens around 7pm. A minimum of two people per booking is required. Passport details for all participants are needed at the time of booking for the ferry crossing.
