    We had a wonderful ride with Jana as our guide. She was knowledgable, fun and had a great personality. It was fun to see Stockholm from the water and get a different perspective. Highly recommend the cruise and Jana!

    Heidi was a great tour guide on our electric boat tour around Stockholm. She had great tidbits and witty feedback to typical tourist questions. Well worth the trip and the value.

    Great water tour

    Myrna and Stewart did a great job. Our tour was almost a private one. It was a general overview of the different islands and landmarks from the water.

    Excellent tour guide!

    The tour guide (Daniel?) was full of intriguing stories about all the things— and more— that we passed on the tour. I hardly looked around, so riveted was I to what he was saying.

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Thank you, we're so pleased to hear that you had a wonderfully engaging trip with us!

    Very nice guides!

    Clara_P, Sep 2025
    Jaha was great! I was the only person who booked my particular time, and both the guide and captain were friendly and informative! When it started lightly raining, they very generously gave me a poncho and umbrella to take with me. The tour was a nice way to get a preliminary intro to the waters around Stockholm and the various neighborhoods. :)

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Thank you, we're so pleased to hear that the Crew provided you with a one-of-a-kind experience (and poncho!).

    A good boating tour experience!

    Robert_B, Aug 2025
    I really enjoyed this boating tour experience. Our German guide whose name starts with an "A" (I'm sorry I didn't write it down) was first rate. She has a terrific sense of humor and made us laugh all the while sharing real insights to the city landscape around us. It was a pleasure. Thank you.

    Response from Host, Aug 2025

    Thank you - that sounds like Aro! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed Aro's tour and your trip with us!

    Thank you, we're so happy to hear that you met some new people on our boat!

    Relaxing views from the water.

    Lindsey_L, Aug 2025
    I chose this tour since it is an electric boat that is very quiet and had no fuel smells. We took the 7:00pm trip just to relax and see the city from the water. This tour had basic information about the buildings but don't expect detailed explanations. Just enough time to float by and mention what the building is and its importance in a few sentences. I suggest this as a first day/night activity OR if you have explored a lot and just want the views and rest your feet. We really enjoyed the sunset on a Friday night in August - just beautiful. Good pricing too.

    Thank you for such a detailed review! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the trip!

    Fun way to see Stockholm!

    Kristie_M, Aug 2025
    Such a fun way to see Stocklholm. The meeting point was easy to find, the boat was on time (both departing and returning), and our guide was funny and knowledgeable. It helped that the weather was lovely (after 2 rainy weeks in Norway). Small group / small boat / fun trip. Highly recommend! Our guide was Antonia and our boat captain was Kim. 5 starts for each...

    Great tour with a smaller group. Our guide Ellen was very informative and described a number of interesting and historical facts for the duration of the ride. It was a shorter tour but I still found it very enjoyable. Company and stock was easy to find

    Easy to reach - the information we learned about the area was great. Much smaller tour so it seems like a private tour.

    Short, sweet, and to the point overview of Stockholm highlights and its history. Our guide, Fabian, was very funny and engaging. Our captain kept us safe. Loved being able to get on the water in summer in Stockholm.

    Seeing Stockholm by boat was lovely, especially on my first day as it's a great way to get your bearings round the city. Calum (I think that was the guides name) was knowledgeable, witty, and made the tour very interesting. Would highly recommend this for visitors to Stockholm.

    Relaxing tour, familiar views

    Michael_R, Jul 2025
    The one-hour boat tour through the city center was pleasant. The guide was friendly and entertaining. However, the views of Stockholm from the water didn’t offer much that you can’t already see from the shore. Overall, a nice way to spend an hour.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Thank you for leaving us a review and we are glad that you enjoyed the tour! We also recommend our tours for guests who would like to see all of Stockholm's stunning views, but maybe don't have time to spend hours on travelling to each different spot.

    Great boat ride, felt like private tour

    YenLing_T, Jul 2025
    Great boat ride, felt like a private tour. But a little short. Would have enjoyed it much more if the boat went a little further.
