We had a great experience overall
Knowledgeable, friendly staff and a very informative tour guide. A wonderful summary of Stockholms history
To be honest the issue here isn’t the tour / you just can’t see the archipelago in 2 hours, you sail out, do a turn and come back. It’s not exactly far enough to see anything other than the harbour and a few buildings. It’s a lovely cruise but calling it an archipelago tour is a bit much. Also the Fika isn’t possibly the worst cinnamon bun we had in Sweden. If you want to see the archipelago you’re gonna need a lot more time than this tour gives you. Props to Paula the guide for doing what she could to make it interesting.
Cute boat, nice and informative guide, beautiful views, and cozy fika! Highly recommend booking this tour.
Great experience. Highly recommended with family and friends Amazing way to discover the city if you’re on a tight schedule
Really nice experience nice views sedate trip time to relax and enjoy the views with coffee and Fika
paula was amazing the trip was awesome
Kim the guide was great. Good and interesting info. Balanced between talking and quiet time. Fun with only swedish songs.
Great experience. The guide, Kim, was perfect, enthousiast and passionate !
Weather wasnt great but the tour was still informative and entertaining. Kim was a great host with great energy.
This was not at all what we expected. Maybe we should have checked it out more before booking. We thought it would include canals in town. Instead it was just a cruise out in the water and back the same way. We were very disappointed.
Wow what a trip and Paula was amazing , so was the team , crew and fika . You really get to Stockholm and the archipelago surrounding Stockholm . We were lucky to have good weather , windy but sunny which made the trip even more enjoyable seating up on deck for the whole journey . A highly recommended trip, well worth the 2hrs and money . A must see option if visiting Stockholm . I looked at many trip options and this got great reviews and I now understand why . A really great experience.
Appreciated Paula's live narration and genuine conversation! Also liked the spacious ambiance of the boat and little touched like the brass lamps and real china.
Directions to meeting point were clear and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Guide provided information and came around several times to answer individual questions and chat. Lovely views and a nice way to spend a couple of hours seeing a different side of Stockholm.
It was relaxing to sail down the water with a very enthusiastic narrator. Staff were very friendly and happy to be there.
Relaxing experience and enjoyable boat ride to see some of the beautiful scenery near Stockholm.
Kim is a super guide! Knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
Great. Food basic but guide was fabulous
Very nice tour of the archipelago, great weather was a boost. Tour guide was affable and commentary was interesting, boat is well equipped and comfortable. Nice selection of snacks and drinks, blankets are available if you want to sit outside
Very relaxing and educational fun. Drinks and snacks were available and the boat is well taken care of
It was a beautiful day; calm seas; professional staff; excellent and informative narration by Paula. Fika was good.
Friendly crew, knowledgeable and Vey nice guide! Was a very pleasant trip - Would recommend every time!
Great experience, friendly narrator, overall 5*
Kim was a fun and engaging guide! We enjoyed the cruise and his commentary in bringing the experience alive. The sweets on board were ok, nothing to write home about. What made the experience worth it was the cruise itself and Kim. Would definitely recommend this tour to first timers.
So glad we booked this tour instead of others. Our guide (Kim) did an amazing job. The ship's cabin was cozy and fika was also included. Relaxing and value for money on a sunny day
We completely missed our tour because we were given the incorrect meeting location. To make matters worse, customer service refused to take responsibility and tried to shift the blame onto us. We are still waiting on a refund. As loyal, repeat Viator customers, this terrible experience ensures we will never book through them again.
Wonderful cruise with amazing tour guide. Kim made the show. He's really enthusiastic, funny and learns us a lot about the Archipelago. Thanks Kim and thanks to all the Cruise members. All of you were very kind, polite and helpful.
Kim was informative, clear and a good sense of humor! Fun morning, thank you.
Very nice boat and great views, good length of time, amazing Fika, and Kim was such a fun and kind host!
We had a fantastic time on the archipelago tour with Kim! Kim was a brilliant guide—friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole experience so enjoyable. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and it was the perfect way to explore the archipelago and take in the stunning surroundings. Everything was well organised, and Kim made sure everyone felt welcome and had a great time. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. A wonderful experience from start to finish!
What a beautiful cruise! Stunning views of the archipelago either up top with the wind in your hair or inside at a comfy café setting. The fika is a nice touch of course. A great way to kill 2 hours and see more than you might have otherwise. Kim was also super nice and funny while giving facts about the islands and some buildings as we passed by.
Great experience, good balance of storytelling, culture, and history. Fun and beautiful. Our tour guide Kim was amazing
What an excellent tour. Kim was a fabulous guide and I learnt so much. I really enjoyed the fika and all the staff were helpful and friendly.
The whole crew were very welcoming. Lim our guide gave color to our experience with his personality
The boat ride was fine, in our opinion the fika could easily be improved. It was one small piece of packaged/waxy cinnamon bun and Lipton tea. Bring in some fresh baked goods and specialty teas/coffees and make the process worth it.
Kim was so good in explaining everything. The trip was worthwhile relaxing enjoyable, just like how they described.
Narrative was entertaining and with a bit of history. Crew were professional and scenery fabulous. Plenty of seating too.
Amazing trip, very chill and beautiful sightseeing. Fika is very good and guide Kim is very sweet, interactive and make you feel very comfortable. Next time I’m here I will definitely go again
Nice way to see parts of the archipelago, Kim was a great guide; funny and informative and certainly made the tour worth it.
Great boat cruise along the archipelago. Kim was an awesome guide. The trip was relaxing and informative. The weather was great too.
Fantastic four! Well worth spending 2 hours on the water to see more of Stockholm. Staff was great. Our guide, Kim, was awesome!
Amazing way to experience the Stockholm Archipelago. Would recommend and will return
Excellent. Informative. Nice 2 hours on the water.
Paula the lady doing the commentary was very good and went out of her way to be friendly and welcoming
It was a pleasant trip. The boat looked a bit rusty and not that shiny as on the pictures. There was a lingering smell on the boat, not really nice - like washroom smell, BUT the washrooms were clean and not smelly. Maybe there is something with the carpets... The Coffee, the little dessert were nice and fresh and the guide explanations lively and engaging. I'm giving 4-stars because of the inside odor and the rusty appearance of the outside of the boat.
The cruise was fine and as expected. The main issue we had was communication on the meeting place. We booked through TripAdvisor and every (like 6 at least) emails including the tickets referenced one meeting place. I did receive one Viator email in between the TripAdvisor ones that said the meeting place had changed, but we referenced our booking the day of the cruise and missed the planned cruise time. We did go on one a couple hours later but lost a few planned vacation hours. I’ve never had this issue with TripAdvisor before, but their communications should have notified us of the change as well as the single Viator one.
We had a rainy day and were one of the last ones to get on the boat so seating was only limited view. If it wasn’t raining we could’ve had more options for going out and sitting upstairs.
Great time on a relaxing boat with Paula as the guide. Friendly and full of information. Fika on board was also good. Nice space to sit inside as well as outside. Highly recommend!
