We had a pleasant journey with our guide Elin and our captain Alex. Elin told us many interesting stories and made the cruise really worthwhile. Definitely recommended if you want to go on a cruise through the Stockholm archipelago.

I choose this tour based on the length of the tour and the type of boat. The tour length was perfect. My wife and I enjoyed motoring out of the main harbour then into a smaller channel to see how people live on the water. The type of boat was perfect as it had room to sit and walk around. We sat upstairs in the middle of the boat under the awning. It was quite sheltered here from the wind. The tour guide, I think Cisabina, was very clear and spoke when needed on the sightings and quite without unnecessary information to fill all the time. This allowed us to sit back and enjoy the tour. Highly recommended.

We had a relaxing 2.5-hour Summer Ride tour through the Stockholm archipelago! It was an entertaining boat trip with commentary in German and English! We had a blast, even though it rained heavily for a short time! We highly recommend the tour!
