It was a funfilled and educational city sightseeing with absolutely funny and nice tourguide Sofia and the Captain Henrik. We have learned a lot about Stockholm. Extra fun for kids when we where in the ocean. We will surely do it again in the future.

The crew are very enthusiastic and get right into it. The tour leader had lots of great information and it was a very pleasant time. There are general knowledge competitions, karaoke and lots of laughing. If you just want one of those full of information tours with no fun or humour, don't take this one.

Richard_B, Aug 2026

Was great fun. Would’ve liked it to have been a little longer but the tour was fab. You need to be prepared to sit on wet seats if at the back of the bus and also open to a bit of participation as the tour guide was bringing great energy which not all responded to!!

Great way to start your adventure in Stockholm

Michael_P, Aug 2026

The perfect excursion and warm up to this beautiful city on arrival day/day 1. Jet lagged and tired - you’re able to sit back and learn about the history and highlights from the comfort of your seat. Our tour guide Lydia was hilarious and so nice. She brought the energy and the laughs to power us through. Would recommend for people with children, friends traveling together, and even older folks who tire easily walking around.

Nice tour

Hans_A, Aug 2026

Nice tour with a reasonable amount of facts on buildings etc. Guide with good skills in Swedish and English.

Great way to spend an hour.

Vivienne_I, Aug 2026

Best trip in town

Camilla_H, Jul 2026

We had the very best guide, Alisha! She was Amazing! She was perfekt for this job and gave us good and interesting information about Stockholm.

hannah_f, Jul 2026

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.

Unconventional Citytour

Eva_O, Jul 2026

Abhi_C, Jul 2026

Ester was an awesome guide and made the whole trip fun with a lot of jokes. Our kids really enjoyed the experience. Highly recommend!

So fun!

Carly_B, Jun 2026

It was great from start to finish. A lot of fun with humorous staff and music. Plus lots of interesting facts as you travel.

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...

Thomas_B, Aug 2025

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

Andrei_C, Aug 2025

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

Fun tour!!

Adisa_S, Jun 2025

Axel and Pele were awesome! That was a fun way to experience Stockholm on land and in the water. Definitely recommend.

Absolutley Brilliant...Loved It

Fun Experience

Vanessa_J, Mar 2025

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!

Amy_B, Jul 2024

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, Jul 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, Jun 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.

Uppmärksamhet

Maria_W, Aug 2026

Att de ska vara förbereda på skumpet innan bussen åker ner i vattet. Även om personalen meddelar det.

Fun & lots of info about the city

Christian_H, Aug 2026

You should not be physically impaired (boarding/exiting the Ocean Bus). Otherwise pure fun! Entertainment from a singing and dancing tour guide, but also lots of info on the way on land and on water.

Most of the guided tours are in English, not everyone speaks English but we have very tourists so it is good that there are.

Carina_S, Aug 2026

That it is a tour that is not suitable for children. My grandson is 7 years old and thought it was sad that they only talked and did it in English.

Fun Experience of Stockholm Attractions😄👍👏👏👏

Educational and entertaining tour by land and sea. Captivating and memorable about Swedish history. Take several in the company for extra fun memories

Erica_O, Aug 2026

The guide Ruth offered himself. A lot of humor. Interesting fact about Stockholm which was very unique. Do not think any website can provide that particular information. The driver Christer was also very good and must be very good at driving.
