This was a...

Bethany_P, June 2026

This was a disappointment. The gal who did the tour, Matilda was great and tried very hard so it’s no reflection on her. The speakers are muffled so it was hard to decipher what she was reading from her script. We were expecting to hear more about the history we were seeing as we cruised by but we barely got that. It was a lot of “fun facts” about Sweden and Stockholm which is interesting but we wanted to learn about the coastline and history of that. The people working behind the bar were excellent! The drinks were great and quick.

Response from Host, June 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you appreciated Matilda’s efforts and enjoyed the service from our bar staff. We’re sorry that the audio quality and the content of the commentary did not fully meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments regarding the balance of information and will share them with our team as we continue working to provide an engaging and informative experience for our guests.

Beware

William_M, June 2026

When I booked it said lunch included when on board we were told it wasn’t included it also said the guide had a sense of humour that was not included either it cost £32 each for 2.5 hours of beautiful islands and beautiful views the weather was perfect I would not recommend the company we booked through because we could of had exactly the same your for £20 overall experience was ok however beware how and who you book with

Response from Host, June 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful views and the perfect weather. We’re sorry to hear there was confusion regarding what was included with your booking. Lunch is not included in our tour price, and we recommend checking the details provided by third-party booking platforms. We’re also proud to offer live-guided tours, which distinguishes our experience from many other operators. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

Very enjoyable 2.5 hours around archipelago

Kenneth_R, May 2026

Enjoyable trip around the archipelago surrounding Stockholm. Our guide, Daria, was very well informed.

Response from Host, June 2026

Thank you for your review! I'm glad to hear Daria made your trip more memorable. Thanks again!

Delightful and informative, a good value

Richard_S, May 2026

Comfortable boat with a cafe and lots of great viewing positions inside and outside. Our guide Matilda was perky and delivered her scripted tour with charm and humor on a microphone with clear and audible sound throughout the boat. She also took time to mingle with guests. One of the unique things about this tour is its frequent use of music to help illustrate the history of Sweden and Stockholm, including traditional songs and an overview of Swedish pop, including (of course!) ABBA. Most of the shoreline sights are during the first and last quarters of the cruise because the closest-in islands are more heavily populated. During the middle of the cruise we enjoyed a tasting of 3 Swedish akvavits and 1 vodka, along with a cookie and some water (plenty for the two of us, about $70), while we viewed the natural terrain on the islands farther out.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for your kind & detailed review! I am so glad to hear Matilda was able to make your trip even more memorable. And I hope you sung a song or two when you drank those snaps! It's nice to hear that you enjoyed the music on the tour. I will share it with the team! Thanks again!

A little more direction...

Clarice_W, May 2026

A little more direction on the location and the name of the boat with the ticket. The guide was very good and friendly.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for your review. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your guide & also that you were able to find the boat. We are always looking for new ways to improve our tours, so I will pass on this information to our team. Thanks again!

Great value and fun, nice trip

Walter_S, May 2026

Very nice boat, nice people, great trip and GREAT VALUE… the price was worth it… highly recommended…

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for your review & recommendation! Glad you enjoyed your tour with us!

Nice, but look for tours that let you disembark.

Asher_B, July 2025

It was fine. Nice cruise of some of the islands. Boat was nice. Tour guide was also nice although it felt like half of her talk was about food and drink and less so about the things we were passing. Felt long, especially since we never disembarked and the boat made a u-turn and went back the same way we came. Would prob recommend a tour where you get off on some of the islands.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thank you for your review, we have passed your feedback on to our team. We're happy to hear that you still had a great tour and trip with us!

Outside seating is...

Susan_F, July 2025

Outside seating is limited and people were moving chairs around the boat. On a busy day you need to arrive early for a chance for an outside seat. Commentary was ok.

Response from Host, July 2025

Thank you for leaving us a review! Everyone clearly has great taste, as who wouldn't want to sit in the sun on our lovely Archipelago boat? We do strive to make every seating option the best seat in the boat, and every spot has it's unique bonuses (like being close to the bar!). We are glad to hear that you still enjoyed the experience, and we will forward on your feedback to our team for future improvements.

An awesome tour!

Boat trip in the archipelago

Elke_B, June 2026

Wonderful view of the houses in the archipelago. Wonderful explanations and interesting stories about the islands and their development. Including ABBA music, a perfect trip with sunshine included
