It is quite a short tour and mostly spent sitting in the bus! The Uspenskin Cathedral was not covered as promised in the overview and itinerary print out that I had, when I asked the guide she said she didn’t have it in hers which is surprising. It is shown on the itinerary on the Viator website even now!
Response from Host , Oct 2019
Dear Vaidehi, thank you for your feedback! We are sorry to hear that you were not happy about your sightseeing experience in Helsinki. According to our tour description, Best of Helsinki Panoramic Group Tour is a sightseeing shore excursion from the coach. It includes stops at such highlights as Helsinki Cathedral, Parliament of Helsinki, President's Palace, Rock Church, Sibelius Monument. Stops at Uspenski Cathedral and Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art are not included in this tour. Our guests are supposed to pass by these sights and see it from the bus. We hope that the rest of your cruise was enjoyable! Our client feedback helps us improve and provide impeccable service. Once again thank you for your comments! Sincerely, Julia Kharlamova

This was a great tour for our first time visiting Helsinki. It gave us a really good overview of the city. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of information about the country and its history. Unfortunately we were there on a Sunday, so were not able to go to the Church in the Rock. There was a service taking place in the Uspenski Cathedral, but we were able to go inside for a quick look.

Very nice tour, with a great guide who provided a great overview with some light downhill walking. In on a Sunday, so shops closed early, but that was no fault of the tour, but were a little rushed so we could see everything before it closed for the night. If you have never been to Helsinki, a good tour to start with but would not do it again on a second visit.
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. I...

Short tour, pretty city, few stops. We were supposed to look for a guide holding a sign for Ulko tours. We waited about 15-20 minutes past the meet time when a lady holding a sign for JT Tours approached and asked who we were waiting for, she checked her list and found our names there was another couple waiting with us for the same tour and they had actually approached her initially to ask if she knew where Ulko Tours would be. Not a big deal, but delayed the tour.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
