"A peaceful and scenic... - "A peaceful and scenic escape from the city!" This boat tour was the perfect way to see Stockholm from the water. The views were absolutely stunning, and Fjäderholmarna was a lovely surprise – so charming and quiet. Everything ran smoothly and on time, and the crew was friendly and professional. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a calm archipelago experience!

"Fantastic tour, relaxing... - "Fantastic tour, relaxing and beautiful!" We loved every moment of this archipelago tour! The boat was comfortable, and the ride was smooth with great commentary. Cruising past all the islands and reaching Fjäderholmarna felt like entering a postcard. A must-do if you're visiting Stockholm and want a unique way to explore the nearby islands.

Beautiful and Relaxing... - Beautiful and Relaxing Tour! A beautiful means of viewing Stockholm Archipelago without discontinuing to leave the boat. There was beautiful scenery, excellent narration, and a comfortable caf on the ship that made it a calm and unforgettable ride. Just ideal to spend a lazy day on the water!

Guided tour City Hall Stockholm - A guided tour of about 45 minutes in City Hall. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. Eloquent with interesting stories and stories about the construction of the house. Very positive thought all 6 in the company. The tour was in Swedish.

Disaster - Nothing that was paid and booked was implemented. We were not even allowed to enter Vaxholm even though we had booked a walking tour with a guide. Absolutely NOT recommended!!!

Do NOT book this tour (or you will be disappointed) - Do NOT book this tour!!! We asked three times before boarding the boat if this was the tour to Vaxholm just to find out when we got there, that we could not get off the boat and that the guided walking tour we booked and paid for was not going to happen. The boat ride itself was also badly organized with the microphone not working and the staff on board not communicating earlier that there was no possibility to get off the boat and explore Vaxholm (despite it being a reoccurring problem with SKS). When we explained our disappointment with the tour, we were promised that we would receive an e-mail and a refund but never heard from the SKS operator again. This was a very sad and disappointing end to our Stockholm trip and I highly recommend others to book their tour with another, more organized tour operator.

It is not as promised! Don’t go! Below is the description of what is promised - It is not as promised at all. Everybody on my tour was very upset. It says it goes to the island of Volkham for an hour guided tour. We were there for 15 minutes and then left. We did not even go to the other island as promised in the picture below. It is completely disorganized. They told us to meet at one place. And then told us to walk 200 yards to another meeting point. Everyone was at a loss and very confused.
