5.00A relaxed boat trip along the cannel and through Stockholm harbour around Djurgarden with an English audio broadcast.
Great tour

5.00This was a very nice, slow tour with excellent recorded narration around a few of the islands, providing interesting details and historic facts about the city. Well worth it!

3.00Easy 1 hour trip around the canals of Stockholm to Djurgården. Recorded guide playing over a loud speaker so it is not very personal. Still informative. It is included with the Stockholm City pass if you get that so at that price it is worth it.
Very nice trip and...

5.00Getting the tickets took some time with my confirmation number but the cruise was great. Would have liked to do it again at night.
A waste of time and money

1.00This cruise was a total waste of time and money, I'm sorry to say. We were attracted to the cruise because an audio commentary was included - a vital element since, in a strange city, buildings and features are meaningless unless one is given information to tell you what they are. Regrettably, despite turning the audio volume up till it hurt my ears, the racket made by the boat's engines over-rode the commentary to the point where it was it impossible to understand what was being said. My wife had the same experience. She removed her ear plug and dozed for most of the trip. To compound the noise issue, when, in a rare moment the engine was throttled back and audio could be heard, it became obvious that the recording was not synced to the physical location of the boat. Pretty much a disastrous experience and I strongly suggest you find an alternative tour company.
Just Ok!

3.00Pleasant but brief boat tour around a few of the Stockholm islands. The recorded guide announced it was generated by AI. Tour would be significantly improved by a live guide or recording with information designed for the tour.
Disappointing canal cruise; not a live guide.

3.00The description says there is a live guide. There were 4 workers in the boat yet they played an AI person explaining the sights. We were not able to follow what the “person” was referring to as the boat moved. It was not a good experience. Very disappointed.
Ok, but not what we expected

3.00The good was that they were running in December. The not-so-good boat commentary is ok, but a little sparse. When we came around the island the Captain sped up and water/fog blocked the windows towards the front of the boat. The view across the water to the shore was also blocked for several minutes by a large passenger boat. I’ve been told the Archipelago tour is the one to take.

2.00Cruise was scheduled for 4.30pm but departed at 3.30pm and no info received about time change. Very very poor communication
