Nice archipelago tour - Really nice and educational archipelago tour. First time EN we took a tour of the Gothenburg archipelago and it was a good choice. Shining sun didn't make things any worse. Great guide who taught us more things along the way. Recommend to go on this tour. We took without lunch but it's optional.

A very good tour of the... - A very good tour of the Gothenburg archipelago. Limited indoor seating (only an issue when it rained.. which it did), other than that, a great way to view Gothenburg and the islands away from the city centre, and find out more about the city and its history.

Nice trip through the archipels - Very nice boat tour with a guide that knows a lot about the history. You could do with or without Lunch. We didn’t have lunch but we enjoyed it nevertheless. There were snacks, drinks and ice cream to get at the bar.

Great potential trip not well executed. - Booked a last minute trip for 4 people which included the lunch option. Was a good trip with great views of the surrounding islands of Gothenburg. Unfortunately the hospitality team did disappoint. When boarding we were located on a central table which limited views of the outside scenery. This is fine given the last minute booking. That said, there were empty tables so we asked to move but were told everyone had allocated seats but they would review again once on the move. When the trip started we noticed there was an empty window table so asked again to move. We were informed that someone was joining so this table was not available. Unsurprisingly no one appeared and the table remained empty throughout this single embarkation round trip. In short the experience felt somewhat budget and cattle like. A table move was not that difficult to accommodate and would have made the experience infinitely better.

Exciting with the small islands and the story about it, otherwise a very long trip - If you have come sailing to Gothenburg from Frederikshavn you should be aware that a lot of the sailing trip is a repetition!

Super disappointing industrial river cruise - Really disappointed with the tour. In fact the tour that we booked didn’t happen due to high winds out at sea. That I understand but unfortunately we were not told this until we were on the boat. If we had have known we were to have a tour of the industrial riverways of Gothenburg we would have asked for a refund. 2.5 hours of passing industrial buildings was not fun. Advice. Check before getting on the boat as to the rerouted tour as you are locked in once on board.
