The ubiquitous tuk tuk has come of age in the 21st century. It is now 100% electric and very quiet and it's totally changing sightseeing in Helsinki. Equipped with a wireless audio receiver to hear commentary from your guide, you'll travel past many of Helsinki's highlights.
Watch for the Art Nouveau Eira and Katajanokka neighborhoods, whose narrow streets preclude tour coaches. See the mighty icebreaker fleet docked in the summer harbor. Pause in Senate Square to briefly enjoy Helsinki's favorite gathering spot. Along Helsinki's main thoroughfare, your guide points out the House of Parliament, the Music Hall, the National Opera and the new Oodi Library.
Step inside the Rock Church -- an unusual piece of architecture that is literally blasted into bedrock.
Walk through Sibelius Park -- perhaps Helsinki's favorite park. It pays homage to Finland's greatest composer.
Guests who wish to stay in town to shop or explore independently are welcome to do so but must make their own way back to the ship.
Please note: Maximum capacity per tuk tuk is four guests. This is not a private vehicle exclusive to your party; rather, you will likely be sharing with others. Cancellation deadline is 72 hours prior to the call at Helsinki. Minimum height is 4'5" (135 cm). Maximum weight per guest is 308 lbs (140 kg). Tuk tuk seats and floor are higher than a regular car; participants must be able to negotiate steps to (dis)embark the tuk tuk. Use of an audio headset (included) will enhance your tour experience.
