5.00Attended the guided Suomenlinna tour on the 12 Sep 25. Had an extremely pleasant time walking around the sea fort learning the history and modern day usage of the island. My tour guide Milla did a fantastic job, was extremely knowledgeable, approachable and her English was very clear and understandable. Thanks for a great day out.
Good guide, but quite short (55 minutes)

3.00nice guided tour, but quite short (55 minutes). The guide very quickly showed the facts and the entire location. All right in terms of content, but (me) too short for the price.

4.00Interesting background to the occupation and use of the island - Swedish, Russian and Finnish. Also helpful to have a guide to show you around.
Not what I expected from the description given.

4.00Tour was maximum of 10 people. When the tour started we had over 20 people. Guide was good but we moved very slowly and did not see everything that we were told that we would see.
Wonderful site offshore from Helsinki

4.00The boat ride and the actual island fortress were wonderful! It’s a short ride over there and there is lots of interesting stuff to see!! The actual guided walking tour was unorganized though. We weren’t sure where to go or when. We just got lucky. The guide was fantastic. I would highly recommend doing this tour.
Great excursion

5.00The ferry runs regularly and the tour is informative and interesting for those who understand English. Great thing to learn a lot about the history of the island. Sigrid, our tour guide, did a great job. And best of all: everything was included in the Helsinki Card!
Read this first before booking!

5.00READ THIS FIRST BEFORE BOOKING! (written June 16, 2025) This listing is very misleading and has terrible instructions. While the ticket includes both the tour and ferry passage, the tour itself does not begin at the Helsinki port. It begins at the Suomenlinna visitors' center! I tried to follow a previous reviewers' instructions, which were mostly helpful, but unfortunately the times were largely outdated by the time I arrived. I've provided some notes below to help you! 1. The time listed on the ticket does NOT correspond to the time the ferry is at or the start of the actual tour in Suomenlinna. My ticket was for 1:45, and my tour started at 2:30 (which I didn't know until I arrived). I went on a Saturday, and ferries departed every half hour, so I caught the 1:30 ferry. My impression was that they stick you on the next available tour once you check in at Suomenlinna. 2. Be sure to take the FRS ferry and NOT the HSL. The HSL is unaffiliated with the tour, and you will have to pay separately. Additionally, it drops you off on another part of the island, so you will have a considerable walk ahead of you once you get to Suomenlinna. 3. The FRS check-in is a kiosk on the water by Market Square. It is kind of hidden but is marked by red flags; however, when I went there were actually two sets of red flags. The ones for FRS were lower to the ground than the others and were the left set of flags if you're facing the water. You should check in at the kiosk after arriving to confirm you're in the right place. 4. While the HSL Suomenlinna ferry takes around 15 minutes, the FRS takes closer to 30 because it makes a stop at another island (Lonna) each way. Additionally, it gets confusing because FRS also does a ferry to Vallisaari, so be sure you are on the Suomenlinna side of the line and not the Vallisaari side while waiting for the ferry! 5. Once you get off the FRS ferry, check in at the Suomenlinna visitors' center, which is the first building on the right at the end of the dock. I did not know to do this and walked around for 20 minutes trying to find the start of the tour. The front desk will give you a sticker and point you to your tour guide. Regarding the tour itself, it was really great! I gave 5 stars for this reason. Noah was incredibly knowledgeable and led a fun and interesting tour. The tour took 60-75 minutes, after which I spent a couple of hours exploring the island on my own. Highly recommend!
Good but more expensive than it should have been

4.00Lovely ferry ride. Good tour but very short and the whole experience was much more expensive compared to just booking the ferry and tour separately.

1.00I was unable to cancel our trip. I have a ticket for the trip, but I called the tour operator to cancel more than 24 hours out and no one answered. I called FIVE times and still my call was not answered. I could not pull up the booking on either Trip Advisor or Viator and could not reach anyone at all through the help section of Trip Advisor. Zero customer service. Super frustrating!!!!
