The views were beautiful but it was hard to hear the speaker and the fact you double back as opposed to a circular trip is a negative

Was very nice , knowledgeable and Relaxing . Would highly recommend. Saw highlights of Stockholm and surrounding areas. Very interesting history and architecture, was very leisurely , would definitely go again.
Hello Elizabeth, thank you for your lovely review! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the relaxing tour, the sights and the history along the way. ☀️ We hope to welcome you on board again! Best regards, Stromma
Too bad, very disappointed, because in the ad, there was an audio guide in French but the QR code was ineffective. DOES NOT WORK No one on the boat, of various nationalities, was able to pick up the audio guide on their phone for a translation into their language!. So have a phone?? Master English!
Hello Lamarie, thank you for sharing your experience. We're very sorry to hear that the audio guide wasn't working during your tour and understand how disappointing this must have been, especially when you were expecting the commentary in French. We appreciate your feedback and will pass this along to the responsible team. Best regards, Stromma
English audio closed roof, it was raining for a bit. Through the locks into local lake. Liked the view from the river of Stockholm.
Stockholm Highlights was a really great tour, with an audio guide in Japanese that was very easy to understand. I was also very happy because the staff who booked the tickets spoke Japanese. I was surprised in a really good way because I didn't expect them to respond in Japanese. Thank you so much, Samuel, for your kind attention!
This was a very disappointing and, unfortunately, very boring boat tour. It added very little to our understanding of Stockholm, its history, or its main landmarks. Out of the 2-hour-and-15-minute tour, only about 15 minutes offered interesting sightseeing. The rest consisted of slow cruising through areas with very little to see. Listening to the same monotonous recorded narration over the constant sound of the boat’s engine quickly became tiresome. Many passengers seemed to use the trip as an opportunity to take a nap, which says a lot about how engaging the experience was. It ended up being an expensive and unnecessary way to spend over two hours. Staff was scarce and the crowd size was normal for a Thursday. We could sit near a window. I would not recommend this tour. You’ll get a much better feel for Stockholm by exploring the city on foot. We had planned to take another boat tour with our family during our visit, but after this experience we decided to cancel it.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're very sorry to hear that the Stockholm Highlights Boat Tour did not meet your expectations and that you found it boring. We appreciate your comments and will use them to improve future tours. Best regards, Stromma.
We were able to sit outside. The weather was great. The guide was also a good fit. Very good description of the highlights.
hank you for your wonderful feedback, Edith! We are very glad that you enjoyed the Stockholm Highlights boat tour ☀️ Best regards, Stromma.
Very nice, you got to see other parts of Sthl. A little pricey
This is a great two+ hour tour of Stockholm on the water. This is the ideal boat for a sunny and hot day or a day where there may be rain. The low profile of the boat lets it get under lower bridges. If photography is a priority for you, grab a seat next to a window the both faces forward and will open (most open but, the glass will only open 50%). Larger boats with multiple decks are a nice option. But, this cruise is perfect for whatever weather may throw at you. The boat was not crowded with about 40 people on board on a 10am departure.
Nice sailing. Staff friendly and helpful. However, the trip could be much better if the electric boat was sailed when the engine sounded.
