The views were beautiful but it was hard to hear the speaker and the fact you double back as opposed to a circular trip is a negative
Was very nice , knowledgeable and Relaxing . Would highly recommend. Saw highlights of Stockholm and surrounding areas. Very interesting history and architecture, was very leisurely , would definitely go again.

Hello Elizabeth, thank you for your lovely review! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the relaxing tour, the sights and the history along the way. ☀️ We hope to welcome you on board again! Best regards, Stromma
English audio closed roof, it was raining for a bit. Through the locks into local lake. Liked the view from the river of Stockholm.
Best to go in a not too busy time because there are four seats on each side of the aisle. The wine was cold and tasty. The information appreciated.

Thank you for your review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the experience, the onboard information and the refreshments. We hope to welcome you on board again in the future. Best regards, Stromma
It is out and back so you see the same things twice. The in-your-ear audio system was not synced to the loudspeakers and malfunctioned. I will say I recommend this because it is a good way to see the city.
Response from Host, May 2026
HI! Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the issues with the audio system, but we’re glad you still enjoyed seeing the city from the water. We appreciate your comment as they help us improve the experience for future guests. Best regards, the Stromma team.
The cruise took you right around Stockholm and it was worth the money. It's a pre recorded voice telling you information and pointing out buildings. Went for a decent 2hrs

Thanks to cancelled original Taxi then next one caught with roadwork bad weather etc. Then Taxi dropping off at wrong spot, I missed my booking. Tried to contact the supplier however as I’m travelling overseas I’m having difficulty getting Internet most of the time so couldn’t get into the actual booking. Only had my ticket of course there’s no details on that for a contact number.Am I happy? Not at all? Do I want a refund? Yes but of course try to get in touch with these people And they make it impossible. Maybe by leaving this wonderful review. They might get in touch with me.

We did not go on this tour because when we went to exchange our voucher we were advised the tour was cancelled because they were doing work on the lock so no boats could get through. We did the 3hr archipelago tour instead, which was very good.

A nice 2 hour boat ride around the lakes and the canals of Stockholm. Gives a very different perspective of the city when seen from the water. The only issue is the audio guide is often not sync. with the view

Good view of Stockholm from the water.
Note that the departure times are 11am and 2pm. Viator originally listed 10 am so we were at the docks way too early.
The open deck at the rear of the boat is best for unobstructed picture taking but it can get cold there.

This is a nice boat tour around various points of interest around the Stockholm city islands and waterways. You'll see lots of sights, learn some history, and enjoy a boat ride for about 2 hrs. Good value for the price.

The tour was a bit boring. Upon arrival we received headphones and sat in a booth. On the table was a placard with @30 sites.
There was no interaction with the staff on board. Actually we sat right behind the captain and he continued talking with the rest of the crew which made it Difficult t o hear the program on the headphones.

There is no access to an outside area. The narrative is good, but AI generated. This trip provides good visual access to many nice areas of Stockholm.

We didn’t expect the experience was boring(sorry Im just being honest) we sat for 2 hours and 15 minutes, theres an AI talking, no one telling us why we stop twice. No good communication from the guide.

The tour could be one hour. It repeats itself, going back the way it back. The boat has full of children who ran around uncontrollable and even entered the pilot area. I could not hear the recorded trip description. Sort of a waste of time.

Very pleased, relaxing and informative with on board refreshments and restroom facilities. Would give the staff a 9/10 as they could of come round and sold and served refreshment. That would have been good for business. Maybe something to think about in future.

Our ship was detoured because of heavy winds & the minute we found out we contacted Viator (the day before) and they denied us a refund. They could have at least offered us a credit. I’m disappointed.

It was relaxing but the tour information was given by an AI program which freaked me out and gave me the ick.

Try a different tour company very poor audio even after seeking staff assistance. No instructions on boarding how to use the audio. Realized free head set available when another passenger went and got them. System wouldn’t work even after following instructions to restart. Requested the general audio to be increased without improvement. Staff acknowledged poor audio so not the first to complain. People just started general conversation could have saved $$ buy just taking local ferry for water view of the city. Worst tour of our holiday. More interested in selling alcohol to passengers.

We went to the wrong stromma kiosk on the wrong side of the river..the guy in the kiosk said the next tour would be in 15 min. This was 1:50pm when our ticket said 2:00pm. We asked the other tour company and they told us the other side of the water and the guy at the stromma counter was wrong. We made the right side of the water at 2:04pm and the boat had left. Not able to exchange ticket because bought thru Viator and not direct. Lessons learned.
1. Buy direct when able
2. Double check location when there are 2 diff locations.
3. Give yourself lots of extra time even when you think you know where going.
We use Viator all over the world and this made me question not just going direct...I'm usually a fan but not today..this was our fault for not knowing there were 2 locations and not allowing time for mistakes but frustrating that we would have had options if we had purchased direct..

Audio is AI generated no guide, audio was behind sights at times. Really need to go back and employ real people.

We booked the trip online - the boat seats were oversold and we were lucky to make it on the trip. The locations that the boat travelled to were great - however the inside of the cabin fogged and staff didn’t really make any effort to clear the glass for visibility

It was an excellent tour. It is a small boat and there were about 10 guests. The captain was excellent and provided very interesting information about the city. I especially enjoyed getting out at old fort on an island in the harbor.

Not worth the money! It's just a ride in the boat. They don't tell you to bring headphones for the audio guide so you don't know what you are looking at! Plus it says max amount of people is 15, try 50.
