The Great Cheat

2.00A cruise of 2 to 3 hours was made in 45 minutes. The weather was good and it had to be dispatched. Free, that cheating is universal!
It is out and back so you...

3.00It is out and back so you see the same things twice. The in-your-ear audio system was not synced to the loudspeakers and malfunctioned. I will say I recommend this because it is a good way to see the city.
Rewarding couple of hours

5.00Included in our Go City pass this surpassed our expectations. Well paced and informative with well equipped vessel (cafe and toilets). Have really good idea and feel for the city’s relationship with the sea.
Not the best boat tour for the money

2.00This is a boat tour run by Stromma, which operates a lot of the excursions and tours in Stockholm. The tour starts at Stromkajen and takes you around Gamla Stan and Sodermalm islands in a clockwise loop. Ideally, you would finish by passing through the locks at Slussen but at the moment, those locks are closed due to construction. As a result, you end up retracing your route all the way around Sodermalm back to the start. So basically half the trip is seeing stuff you already saw. There are some good points. The boat passes through a lock (twice) which is unique. They had a nice audio commentary over the loudspeakers in English. The main downside was that the passengers got bored with the commentary about a third of the way through and started drinking beers, chatting, laughing, and being generally rowdy. This was not even in the peak season, so the boat was only half full. Anyway, with all the passenger noise, it was not possible to hear the commentary. The operators provide an app that works on your phone and can play the same commentary through your headphones, but sadly, the app stopped generating commentary about a third of the way through. This is also the only option if you don’t speak English. So all of those people would be out of luck. The price (about $40) is quite high for what you get. We took an equally long ferry ride to Vaxholm for about 1/8 the price and enjoyed the scenery more.
A great was to see the city

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.
