Great tour. Excellent value for money. Price includes the two hour cruise, coffee or tea, and a cake. Soup available for purchase was tasty, generous, and cheap. Our guide was fantastic, and I would highly reccommend this tour.

Such a memorable day out on the water. The views were beautiful and everything ran so smoothly. Big shoutout to Cedric for being such a wonderful guide; he made the history and stories of Stockholm come alive with plenty of laughs along the way. The fika was a nice addition to the trip. Thanks for a great day.

very nice trip around with marvelous view of the archipelago and a good guide!
Simone
Australia
Very organised, great guide with relevant historical information. Coffee was welcomed after a walk in the cold. Loved being out on the water seeing the gorgeous city of Stockholm. Great to be indoors and outdoors taking pics with my family. We have no complaints except that kids don’t often drink coffee so a free hot chocolate for our 8yo would have been nice but we had to pay for that separately. Otherwise, great cruise!
