I ran into a little difficulty at the ferry terminal in Helsinki because I presumed the ticket sent to me would allow me walk straight onto the ship. A little more guidance in advance would have helped. The driver in Helsinki was very friendly and helpful and the guide Yevgeni in Tallinn was a font of local knowledge. Overall it was an excellent day trip, but some more assistance and advice in advance might be beneficial.”
