    This is a 2.5 hour cruise around Stockholm, Sweden. The boat has seats both inside and out, and has an excellent audio commentary via headphones in several languages. This is an excellent way to see Stockholm. The seats are very comfortable and there is a toilet available. There are also snacks on the boat available to purchase. There are a lot of great photo opportunities throughout the cruise. I highly recommend taking this activity!

    EXCELLENT. and a great intro to Stockholm on your first day in the city. Gives you the lay of the land, the boat is both open air and covered so not particularly weather dependent.

    It was okay, some nice views but the boat is loud and smelly (because of the gas engine) and the information wasn't that interesting.

    Not the nicest day for this, suggest booking after checking the weather and availability. Could not pick a sunny day because it was fully booked the day before.

    If you want a quick history of the country and Stockholm itself this is a great option. And not only do they give a history of the surrounding area, you get to see it while hearing about it!

    Beautiful sides. Unfortunately, it was a rainy day. If possible avoid going on rainy days. Because the glass of the boat might get foggy and you wont be able to see anything from the windows.

    We had a lovely time on the Dinner Cruise to Drottningholm with Prins Carl Philip. Delicious food and a relaxing athmosphere. I've noticed some reviews mention that the cruises can be crowded, but that was not our experience. We went on a Thursday in early June, and there was no line to get on, there was plenty of space tovwalk around and find a seat and we could walk between our table and the deck to get some fresh air without problem. Stopped at Drottningholm for a short stroll before enjoying the scenery and some dessert on our way back.

    Nice boat tour to know more about Stockholm. Some knowledge of history and current trends of Stockholm were explained.

  • 1/5 Ashley Fick S. 9 months ago on Google • 52 reviews
    "Tour" is an AI recording and it is difficult to identify many of the landmarks along the way. It was also a fairly boring description of Stockholm.The gps stopped working shortly into the tour for both of us. The boat was extremely crowded and there weren't enough seats for everyone. I'm not sure what would have happened if the weather was poor or if someone had a disability.

  • 3/5 Catalin A. 8 months ago on Google • 27 reviews
    The historic tour was not so interesting, most bridges were fairly recent (~1900) and outside the city center you wouldn't see much more than basic apartments and buildings The royal canal tour (around djurgarden) was more fun for us

  • 4/5 Tim O. 5 months ago on Google • 21 reviews
    Short and sweet. Mostly nature and a huge park. I recommend it but lower expectations. This is not a river tour. More like a bay jaunt.

  • 3/5 Bridget A. 9 months ago on Google • 14 reviews
    We went on the one hour boat tour. The guide pretended we weren’t there and just talked to the captain the whole time. The AI generated guide was fine, but not always lined up with where we were and boring.

  • 4/5 Belgin S. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a relaxing tour. We were lucky that the weather was good and the boat wasn't too busy. It could have been a bit more exciting for the price!

  • 5/5 Suzanne R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great views. Helpful information. Easy access and reasonable wait time.

  • 2/5 Julian C. 1 year ago on Google
    They could add the departure location to the e-ticket, we went to the wrong location and then had a 20 minutes walk to catch a later trip

  • 3/5 Bjorn L. 9 months ago on Google
    Nice staff and old boat was cool. The archipelago is underwhelming, unless you really like looking at some vacation houses. Flat otherwise.

    (Translated by Google) Early in August I took a boat to go to Drottningholm on a flight on weekdays 15 o'clock. It was very free. You can eat and drink inside the ship. It was a comfortable 50-minute boat trip. (Original) 8月はじめ平日15時の便で、ドロットニングホルムに行くため、乗船しました。非常に空いていました。 船内で飲食ができます。 快適な50分の船旅でした。

    (Translated by Google) We took the boat to Drottningholm to visit the castle. Having Stockholm Pass you must first sign up for Stromma to book your places of travel. Especially in the morning, the boat is very crowded, but eventually you find a state seat. The journey takes 50 minutes, it is beautiful and quiet and you can see the city from another angle. (Original) Am luat de aici vaporasul catre Drottningholm pentru a vizita castelul. Avand Stockholm Pass mai intai trebuie sa te inregistrezi la Stromma pentru a rezerva locurile de calatorie. Mai ales dimineata vaporasul este foarte aglomerat dar pana la urma gasesti un loc de stat. Calatoria dureaza 50 de minute, este frumoasa si linistita si se poate observa din alt unghi orasul.

    (Translated by Google) The HopOn Hop Off tours are so Lala ... Bus too crowded, too little explanation. BUT Stromma offers very interesting boat tours. Definitely recommended are: "Under The Bridge of Stockholm Boat Tour" (2: 15h). Very nice too: boat tour in the archipelago to Sandhamn, the "canal tour". By boat you drive through the narrowest areas and have a wonderful view of the great little house. With the same ticket you can spontaneously decide on the island of Sandhamn, but to stay longer and to return with the later line boat (last boat 17:15 clock) also company Stromma (Original) Die HopOn Hop Off Touren sind so Lala... Bus zu voll, zu wenig Erklärung. ABER Stromma bietet sehr interessante Schiffstouren. Definitiv empfehlenswert sind: „Under The Bridge of Stockholm Boat-Tour“ (2:15h). Sehr toll auch: Boots-Tour in die Schären nach Sandhamn, die „Kanal Tour“. Mit dem Boot fährt man durch engste Stellen und hat einen wunderbaren Blick auf die tolle Häuschen. Mit dem gleichen Ticket kann man sich spontan auf der Insel Sandhamn entscheiden, doch länger zu bleiben und mit dem späteren Linien-Boot zurück zu fahren (Letztes Boot 17:15 Uhr) Ebenfalls Firma Stromma

    The Stockholm Card my daughter and I purchased for our visit to Sweden was definitely worth it! We enjoyed a number of Stockholm attractions for much less than we would have if we paid for each one separately. In addition, we enjoyed the hop-on hop-off boat tour to get around town. The bus hop-on hop-off was surprisingly difficult for us to access, so we didn't experience it during our visit. That is the only reason I don't give five stars. Overall, we felt it was a good value and will certainly explore the option again then next time we travel.

  • 4/5 erric101 5 years ago on Google
    I had a great time on the lunch archipelago tour 3 days ago. My lunch entree was delayed but the ladies made up with it by giving me free dessert and at least I knew my entree was fresh. I would have given 5 stars but the meal delay had me feeling awkward as every else was eating and I had to wait. The overall tour on the boat and the guide was great.

  • 3/5 Sammy L. 5 years ago on Google
    Very good way for both locals and tourists to get to see STOCKHOLM from another side. During summer come early though as the boats gets full.

    Travel to city hall where we went off and visit city hall. After that we wanted to continue the tour but no bus come! We waited for 1 and half hour and no bus come. I even called their customers service and they told me 3 bussen should have come but told here no bus accept red seigtseeng tour company busses. I'm very disappointed in this company and finally we took local bus. I don't recommend them at all. Big mistake to get ticket on that bus!
