MS Gothenburg - Want to share with you about Saturday’s brunch trip with MS Gothenburg. What an experience and what a dining experience. Everything was so good so I made several rounds. Dessert table an experience. The staff were on top, happy and fun. The restaurateur with staff sang and congratulated. We'll be back. Thank you MsGothenburg

Summer boat trip - Surprisingly great trip. Had actually planned to travel with Paddan, but it was full booked. And thank you for that, because this was a much nicer trip. We had super weather so it made the trip even better

Great trip on a summer day - If the weather is nice this is a great trip! Beware that if you want to book lunch in advanced you will be placed at a table of their choice (not yours). We hadn’t booked lunch so had the chance to sit outside in the sun, enjoying the great view and fresh air. The guide tells about the history of the city and the island. We mostly ignored it and just enjoyed the scenery.

Bad weather impacted route - Winds were quite high, so boat was not allowed to go out into open sea. As a result we ended up sailing up and down the harbour and not seeing the archipelago’s at all. It was of course extremely disappointing, but the tour guide did his best to make it interesting

Disappointing customer service - Like other reviews, the tour operator did not turn up or inform it was cancelled. A group of us waited another 30 mins after the scheduled time just in case and left disappointed.

Your operator didn’t turn up! - We arrived 20 minutes before the departure time and waited for 50 minutes but no one turned up. Rang Viator who confirmed the location, and there were other groups there waiting for the same tour. The boats were there with lights on but seemingly no one onboard. The operator is closed at the weekends so couldn’t contact them. Just had to leave 30 minutes past the scheduled start time.
