3.00not advisable during winter as you can’t sit outside and the view is very limited from inside the cruise so does justify the value for money
The cruise took you right...

5.00The cruise took you right around Stockholm and it was worth the money. It's a pre recorded voice telling you information and pointing out buildings. Went for a decent 2hrs
Not happy

1.00Thanks to cancelled original Taxi then next one caught with roadwork bad weather etc. Then Taxi dropping off at wrong spot, I missed my booking. Tried to contact the supplier however as I’m travelling overseas I’m having difficulty getting Internet most of the time so couldn’t get into the actual booking. Only had my ticket of course there’s no details on that for a contact number.Am I happy? Not at all? Do I want a refund? Yes but of course try to get in touch with these people And they make it impossible. Maybe by leaving this wonderful review. They might get in touch with me.

3.00We did not go on this tour because when we went to exchange our voucher we were advised the tour was cancelled because they were doing work on the lock so no boats could get through. We did the 3hr archipelago tour instead, which was very good.
A nice way to visit Stockholm with audio commentary in French

5.00A nice way to visit Stockholm with an audio commentary in French that allowed us to better understand the history of Sweden.
Under the Bridges ~ 12 bridges & 1 lock.

3.00Some interesting sights but too long, over 2 hours. Would have been better if had followed a circular route (not feasible?) & not back tracked on its self!! Refreshments on board. Restrooms on board. Kr 337.5 pp (£26.55pp)
A nice ride

4.00A nice 2 hour boat ride around the lakes and the canals of Stockholm. Gives a very different perspective of the city when seen from the water. The only issue is the audio guide is often not sync. with the view
Good enough to kill some time, but honestly? There were other things I could have done with my two hours!

3.00It's - OK. Good bits - included on GoCity pass - boat is comfortable, commentary has some interesting bits - some nice views Not-so-good bits - *really* annoying AI voice - lots of very same-y views. If you like relatively modern apartment block architecture, you'll be in heaven. If you were hoping for more of the older architecture (like I was ....) then you'll be disappointed. See photos! - boat stays in the middle of channels (presumably to avoid wash, which is fair enough) so you don't get to see the interesting buildings close up Summary - if the weather is good, and you want to really see the buildings and architecture, save your money and explore Stockholm on foot instead. If you want to kill a couple of hours, the tour is nice enough.
Good view of Stockholm

4.00Good view of Stockholm from the water. Note that the departure times are 11am and 2pm. Viator originally listed 10 am so we were at the docks way too early. The open deck at the rear of the boat is best for unobstructed picture taking but it can get cold there.

4.00I booked my tickets from Viator which incorrectly specified the time as 10am. There are two runs at 11 am and 2pm, so since we were there, did the 11 am and had breakfast at a nearby pricy open air cafe since we were early. By 10.30am a fairly large queue had already formed so we joined in and waited. Shortly after 11am, we boarded and the trip took about 2 hours and 15 minutes. English commentary came on the loudspeakers and other languages had to use an app. Overall, it was a good tour getting to see much of Stockholm from the water. Highly recommended.
