    They take you past a few...

    Isabelle_B, Oct 2025
    They take you past a few highlights in town, but really didn't get to see too much, as a lot was on the left side of the boat. I felt like they could have taken you past more as other tours like this do.

    The bus/boat tour was fun, informative and just the right length of time. Our tour guide put it over the top. Her enthusiasm, personality and knowledge doubled the enjoyment.

    Best tour guide ever

    It’s a very unusual tour, with an amphibious bus , through Ostermalm, and on water , along Djurgarden

    This is a great and fun way to experience Stockholm from land and water. We enjoyed the music and Axel's energetic dance moves and commentary a lot.

    Fun and Interactive 😊

    Sarah_B, Aug 2024
    Scenic! Needed a little but more information.. but overall nice ride about. Guide loves to dance, would love more about Abba.

    Do it!

    Our family with 2 17 year old sons enjoyed this tour! It was a well spent hour. The host was very energetic…at first it was a bit overwhelming but she was genuinely enthusiastic and passionate about her city.

    Fun lighthearted tour

    Chandni_N, July 2024
    Well worth it to see the city from land and water in short space of time. Loss of insider information from local guides about the city rather than too much history. The atmosphere is definitely upbeat with jokes, music, clapping, dancing and ABBA. It would have been good without this also but was nicely balanced with an actual tour

    Delightful street to boat tour of Stockholm

    JAZZMAINE_T, June 2024
    Our tour guide, Esther, was amazing. Such high energy and so much fun. She was able to effortlessly weave wit and her depth of knowledge of the city together to create a memorable tour experience. Brava!

    Fun and informative

    Paula_B, May 2024
    Great trip. Guide was fun and informative. Recommend if you have an hour to spare and want a quick orientation.

    With lots of fun and joy through Stockholm!

    AnneKatharina_H, Oct 2025
    This experience is unique and presented in this way. With a lot of joy, vigour and fun, the young, very motivated guide accompanied us by bus through Stockholm's streets and also waterways. Music and dance, also puzzles and jokes, were there! Great!! Always happy!!

    Hi Ingvar, We are sorry for what happend to you. Ive looked in to the matter and aparentlly something didnt work between Viator and our booking system when you changed your departure time from 10:00 to later in the day. Were you not offered a later departure?

    Fun

    Carlos_F, June 2025
    very funny, a well accomplished entertainment, conducted with very good sense of humor, in the case by Axel

    Lustig und originell, kurzfristig gebucht und tolles Erlebnis gehabt. Für das Trinkgeld sollte man Bargeld dabeihaben.

    Bellissima esperienza

    Michela_S, June 2024
    Laura è stata una guida entusiasta e molto simpatica, il momento dell'ingresso in acqua è stato emozionante per i bambini. Il tour è molto carino e diverso dal solito. Lo consigliamo!

    Schöne Tour

    Jan_K, June 2024
    Sehr unterhaltsame Tour. Eine lustige Art etwas mehr über Stockholm zu erfahren. Die Informationen beschränken sich jedoch auf: "Hier ist das." Oder: "Da hat Mal ... gewohnt." Aber es ist auch mehr das Erlebnis mit einem Amphibienfahrzeug zu fahren und die Stadt zu betrachten als eine Geschichtstour. Und dafür auf jeden Fall sehr gut gemacht.
