Very enjoyable

Noel did a nice job with his talk as we rode around the area. We didn’t go far. The boat was comfortable and had a cover over the top and had side canopies for rain, which we rolled up after the afternoon rain shower. There were visions on the seat and one to lean back on. Plenty of leg room too

Operator response

Thanks for your review! Glad to hear you enjoyed your time on board with Noel and stayed nice and comfortable despite a bit of rain. Thanks again!

We really enjoyed our guide Bernadette

We booked this tour through trip advisor weeks before and it was already charged to the credit card before we arrived to jump on. With that being said it’s the only reason why we got on the boat day of. Why am I saying this….because they have employees trying to get more people to jump on a tour and those employees are so incredibly rude and hostile. Seriously one gentleman was yelling at people who had said no thank you and were walking away bits so aggressive it gave us such a bad feeling. Then to see them getting into verbal arguments with the competing touring company it’s just too much! When we did finally get on the boat we were pleasantly surprised by our guide Bernadette. Honestly I don’t think the tour guides and drivers even know the other staff behave like that. Bernadette was lovely and gave us so much information. We had decided to take this tour so we could get an idea of what we were really looking around at before we started our Stockholm adventure, and she did not disappoint. Bernadette gave us fun facts and great recommendations. She was friendly and polite and a great guide. Thank you for turning our negative thoughts about the company around.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience with the staff at the meeting point and any interactions that made you feel uncomfortable. This is not the standard we expect, and we will share your comments with our team. We’re glad to hear that Bernadette provided such an enjoyable and informative tour that it helped turn your experience around. We appreciate you taking the time to share both sides of your visit.

Sightseeing tour in the sun

We thoroughly enjoyed our sightseeing tour with Captain Kalle and our wonderful guide, Tessa. Tessa was very knowledgeable and charming, bringing Stockholm and its stunning archipelago to life with fascinating stories, historical insights, and engaging anecdotes about both the past and present. Captain Kalle ensured a smooth and enjoyable journey, making the tour relaxing from start to finish. I warmly recommend a tour with Stockholm Sightseeing—it’s a fantastic way to discover the beauty and history of Stockholm from the water.

Thanks for your lovely review! So glad to hear you enjoyed your time on board with Tessa - I will let her know!
