Jenny_F, Jul 2026

Max is the best! Highly recommend.

Great tour and overview of a lot of important sites. Recommend booking at the start of your time in Stockholm so you are oriented and have a sense of some other things you’d like to see. Our guide, Max, was incredible. Very knowledgeable and even found us the BEST hidden Fika spot. Probably our favorite in the city. Thank you Max!

Aussies loving Stockholm

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the archipelago today. John, our boat captain, was very pleasant and welcoming as was our guide Noel, who had a great personality and sense of humour. His friendly digs at the Danes and Norwegians was very funny. The scenery was beautiful and the cruise was very relaxing. We highly recommend this tour.

The Vasa

This was a terrific tour that provided many unknown facts about the sinking of the Vasa ship in 1628, very well preserved and allowed for a better understanding of the events during construction, the limitations and resulting in its sinking immediately after being released on its maiden voyage. Well worth taking in to better understand the circumstances surrounding the the Vasa’s sinking

Great morning at the Vasa

Joanes was a great tour guide. He moved us through an increasingly crowded museum (it was a Saturday in July) with calm assurance. He told the tell of the Basa in an engaging way. The museum is a must for any first time visitor to Stockholm. Highly recommend!

Best of Stockholm: Small Group Walking Tour (Max 10, 3 Hours)

Dani_B, Jul 2026

Fantastic tour & guide!

August gave us an upbeat, energetic, entertaining tour of Stockholm. He showed us parts of the city we would not necessarily have sought out or known to ask about that we thoroughly enjoyed. His English—and even use of American idiomatic expressions—was impressively perfect. My husband and three daughters (ages 20, 18 & 16) were sad when it ended. He was a superb ambassador for his home city, Highly recommend!

Excellent Guide/Relaxing Cruise

I booked this tour because Paula, the guide, had such excellent reviews and she did not disappoint. She shared some interesting history and made a point to come around and speak with each guest aboard. She really made the tour enjoyable. She shares just the right amount and is a lovely person. It was a wonderful way to spend our morning in Stockholm.

Stockholm Pizza Cruise - Explore Stockholm's Waterways

Bryan_O, Jul 2026

Pizza cruise

This is an interactive dinner cruise. The pizza is delicious. You need to pay for your own drinks on board. Make sure you go early to get the best seating next to the window. People tend to get there early. The staff was all nice and accommodating. They do not talk about any of the scenery so if you’re looking for information about the sites, another tour might be a better option. This is just relaxing and for dinner on the water.

Great way to see more of...

Great way to see more of Stockholm from the water and what life is like on the water. The boat was a lot of fun and the boat ride was a fun way to see the archipelago. The guide answered all of our questions and made sure we enjoyed the ride. One thing to be aware of - the ride itself was 2 hours with the prep before and coming back it was a total of 3hrs so plan accordingly.

Janet_C, Jul 2026

Great Food Tour!

The Stockholm Small Group Food Tour with 7 Classic Food Tastings is an absolute must-do when visiting Stockholm. The food was delicious, plentiful, and offered a great introduction to Swedish cuisine. Our tour guide, Iggy, was incredibly knowledgeable and shared far more about Sweden’s history and culture than we expected. He also provided excellent recommendations for things to see and do around Stockholm, which made the rest of our trip even more enjoyable. What stood out most was Iggy’s genuine passion and love for Sweden. It was evident in the way he spoke about Stockholm’s history and traditions, making the experience both informative and engaging. The tour was truly lovely, and I would happily do it again, especially if I had the chance to bring more friends to Stockholm. Highly recommended!

We had a very lovely girl as our tour guide, she was amazing, she gave us interesting information whilst also bringing the fun vibes. I took the tour at 11:00 am which I will highly recommend as we got to see the changing of the guards at the royal palace on our way back. This was by far a highlight of our trip.
