Great trip - recommend
Great little trip! We enjoyed the boat trip. We booked for 2 hours but 1.5 would have been the perfect length. We got off a little early. Very relaxing and fun to potter about on your own. To start the boat we called the number on the website and the man then started the boat. It wasn’t apparent how else to do it other than call up.

Sightseeing Freely in Gothenburg
My two boys, husband, and I rented a boat and cruised the canals of Gothenburg. We really enjoyed the freedom of going where we wanted and stopping when we wanted. We rented for two hours and saw many of the historic buildings. Marcus was very responsive and the process was very easy. We enjoyed it very much.
