Capt Carl and tour director Daniel provided an excellent tour of the archipelago. Our live tour was filled with local information, fun facts and entertaining stories. The small boat is a beautiful example of a well-made and maintained craft. Window areas are open and easy to view from. Blankets are provided in case of cool weather. This tour was able to take us to an area of apartments that are green and sustainable. We highly recommend this enjoyable tour supporting a local business.

The boat is beautiful and the views and stories well worth the trip. The only reason it is getting 4 stars is because they packed the people on so tight that it was overcrowded. Some seats had three people when it is comfortable with two.
Extremely interesting tour of the waterways around Stockholm. Beautiful views! Our tour guide (Tessa) was excellent - very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
The guide didn’t share too many details along the way. Was expecting to hear fun facts and historical information, there just wasn’t enough of these types of things. Was ready to be done before the end.
We really enjoyed it! The small boat was more intimate and relaxing than the bigger ships. The narrator spoke great English and coffered many fun tidbits about what we saw. It’s a great way to understand the city and see the sights. Highly recommend!

It's an enjoyable cruise on a smaller wooden boat with a terrific and entertaining tour guide. We learned some fun facts while out on the waterways. Bring a jacket as its cooler out on the water than on shore. They did provide blankets which is a nice touch

This boat trip was a great way to spend the morning in Stockholm! We were able to see a lot of the canals and the sights outside of Gamla Stan that we wouldn't have otherwise seen. I would definitely recommend this tour!

No offense to the beauty and history of the city, but I felt I could have gotten more on my own during the nearly 2 hour adventure on the water
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you appreciated the beauty and history of Stockholm, though we’re sorry the tour did not provide the added value you were hoping for. We appreciate you sharing your experience and will pass your comments on to our team.
We chose The small wooden boat tour as we felt it would be more personal due to the limited numbers and that was certainly the case. Calum our guide/first officer :) was absolutely fantastic. Great personality, knowledgeable and also very friendly and funny. We felt he was the best guide we could have had. Great tour well worth the money.
