Enjoyable cruise. Our tour guide, Tessa, was great. She shared lots of interesting information, speaks flawless English and has a good sense of humor. The 2 hr length was perfect afternoon break amidst other sight-seeing. The dock was easy to find and the boat was comfortable.

Very relaxing and fun guide. Got to to see the highlights and learn some fun facts about Stockholm. You get to see a little beyond the city and a cool rock climbing wall.

It was a lovely trip on a traditional wooden boat, very comfortable. Some of the windows were rolled up to let the breeze in, each bench seat had a blanket if you got chilly. Our guide, Ian, was knowledgeable, engaging, and funny. Our captain was steady at the helm. It was a clear day and we could see everything he pointed out. It wasn't overwhelming with information. Definitely a pleasure!

Jana and Karl led us on a wonderful tour, showcasing the beauty and history of Stockholm's archipelago. Jana brought a fun energy to her tour, which had plenty of interesting facts and amusing anecdotes. The boat was a bit crowded, but arriving early ensured our group could sit together.
