We were picked up promptly from the hotel in Helsinki - met in Tallinn by Sergei, the guide (who gave us a brilliant and informative tour - and got us back to the ferry port later after some free time) - and met again on the return by a driver at the port in Helsinki which us saved us getting soaked in the rain. Thanks, guys - all much appreciated!!”
