Open Electric Boat Ride in Stockholm with Live-Guide

6.Open Electric Boat Ride in Stockholm with Live-Guide

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 637 reviews · 50 minutes (approx.) · from $31Top rated

See Stockholm’s palace, canals, museums, and islands on a quiet 50-minute electric boat ride with a live English guide.

“I chose this tour since it is an electric boat that is very quiet and had no fuel smells. We took the 7:00pm trip just to relax and see the city from the water. This tour had basic information about the buildings but don't expect detailed explanations. Just enough time to float by and mention what the building is and its importance in a few sentences. I suggest this as a first day/night activity OR if you have explored a lot and just want the views and rest your feet. We really enjoyed the sunset on a Friday night in August - just beautiful. Good pricing too.”

“The buses are clean, drivers are friendly and helpful. The route takes you by and through all the necessary highlights of the city. We do these jump on/off buses to get an idea of the layout of the land. This one did not disappoint!! The app is a must. To be able to track the location of the busses and boats allows you to plan your day without any waste of time. Busses were timely and never truly crowded except on cruiseship days. Thank you.”
