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.

Excellent boat tour, and special recognition to the tour guide, Fabian. Very knowledgeable, passionate, and inviting questions, clearly fully engaged in his craft. The tour boat driver was also excellent.

DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS TOUR OPERATOR. I followed the pick up instructions and there was nobody there. I contacted the Tour Operator and Viator to ask for a refund since no one showed up.
The Tour Operator declined, claiming that they were present, when I have photo proof standing outside the boat that nobody was there. The instructions this morning said to meet near the blue bicycle at the ship Ridderholmen across from the Slottsbacken bus station. The Viator customer service person also gave me these instructions. I submitted photos standing next to that ship.
Now the tour operator has completely changed the pick up instructions after I asked for a refund and they declined. This is acting in bad faith and lying.

Hello, it is unfortunate to hear about your experience in finding the tour starting point. The staff were present and the tour did go ahead - it sounds like you ended up just a few meters from the departure location.
The directions were updated recently to aid finding the departure location, so it is possible you received the old directions instead. If you'd like to attend a different tour time on a different date, please drop us an email at hello@sightseeingride.com to discuss.

Lovely experience in beautiful surroundings with super friendly guide (Callum). He explained a lot about Sweden, its history and traditions with lots of funny stories on top. Perfect captain as well.

Melissa_D, Aug 2025
The experience itself was great and the guide was lovely. However, the instructions it gives through Viator are completely wrong. I arrived 25 minutes early to ensure I got a good seat, but did not find the boat until asking 3 different people and finally finding it - and did not get a good seat on a window.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour and thank you for your review. We will pass your feedback on to our team regarding the Viator information.
Ricardo_M, Aug 2025
Seats are way too low, can't see anything unless you stand up. Poor protection against rain, everything gets very wet very quickly.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
We're sorry to hear about your experience and will pass your feedback on to our team. The weather can sometimes change rather quickly (typical Swedish summer experience) - if it sticks to the forecast we can make sure that the boat is covered and the windows are down for rain protection (These can also be put down during the tour, but takes a little bit of extra time).

Enjoyable and relaxing cruise and entertaining commentary from Noel through the canals , highly recommended

Katarina_R, Aug 2025
It was a wonderful experience with lovely views of Stockholm and the archipelago. The guide was very charming, funny and informative and the Capetian was great as well. Definitely recommend this guide to anyone coming to Sweden for the full experience to see the peaceful waters and beautiful greenery. This is also coming from a fellow swede who doesn’t live in Sweden but grew up coming every summer.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
We're honoured by your review and so pleased to hear that you had a great time on board with us and the crew!
Kimberly_C, Aug 2025
Have done several canal tours during our travels in Scandinavia and this one was the best. Comfortable seats and each with a great view. Utterly relaxing ride with beautiful sites. Modestly informative but easy to hear the guide from anywhere on the boat. Enjoyed hearing not just about architecture but also a little about what it’s like to live as a Swede in Stockholm. The intermittent music played was great!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Wow, thank you for such a detailed review! We're so happy to hear that you had a great trip with us!
Alex_T, Aug 2025
Arrive early. Good seats are first-come-first serve. Overall, a very nice tour to see the major landmarks and get a feel for the cities’ layout.

Isabelle_L, Aug 2025
We had a little trouble finding the starting point because there are 2 blue bikes on the pier ...
We took a great tour on the canal then in the bay in front of Stockholm on this wooden boat on a human scale. It was warm, so paradoxically we suffered a little heat, but it must not be so frequent:) The guide explained a lot of historical points with a lot of humor!
