It was very interesting. Natalia was a wonderful guide and the captain did an excellent job positioning the boat for photos. We highly recommend it, it was a great overview of the history of Gothenberg.
The boat guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant. Viktor was extremely helpful and easy to converse with. Good group! It was very rainy but they made it fun,

I’ve loved doing canal cruises in other cities, and I think the paddan tour is a great way to see much of Gothenburg in a short amount of time. The guide was very personable and I enjoyed hearing about the history of the city. It is a shorter tour (less than 1 hour), and for the price, I wish it was slightly longer.

Hello Sydney, thank you for your lovely review! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed exploring Gothenburg from the water and appreciated the guiding. Thank you for your feedback regarding the length of the tour. We hope to welcome you on board again! ☀️ Best regards, Stromma
The tour is excellent, with lots of information packed into 50 minutes on the canals and river. Our guide, Ted, was outstanding. More so, because he had to do his guiding through a torrential rain storm!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
We really appreciate your kind words about your experience on The Paddan Tour. It's fantastic to know that Ted made such a positive impact despite the rain! ☀️ Best regards, Stromma.
Was a good way to see the sites and Grim was great.

Tour was fine. Weather didn't cooperate, was a cool and windy day. Otherwise interesting and informative.
