Great experience - We had a very informative and joyful boat trip with Vincent and Harald. It was smooth sailing and we really enjoyed Vincent's energy and way of delivering all the information 👏. He jumped between the 2 languages effortlessly 😁 Blessings Therese and Anthony

Very nice luck! - Lovely tour in the sunshine! Guided by professional Matilda and Kajsa who drove the boat. Fun (and wet) ride that was enjoyed by both adults and youth.

Paddle tour - Yesterday we went with Toad. Elin had our guided tour. A fantastic guide. Incredibly good to tell during the tour and fun. We were early for the tour at 12:00 but we got a fantastic reception from Elin i who sat in the box office. Me and my friends stated that it was the best guide we heard. Great with guidance with microphone and not headphones that hassle to connect to that particular guidance. Thank you Elin for a great job. The right person in the right place. 😃

Paddantur den 21:a september / Paddan tour on September 21st - Vi åkte när det var strålande solsken och kan bara ge turen högsta betyg. Vincent var en helt fantastisk guide, med sin göteborgshumor. Kan bara ge varma rekommendationer till både själva turen och Vinsent's insats. ******* We went when it was glorious sunshine and can only give the highest marks. Vincent was an absolutely fantastic guide, with his Gothenburg humour. Can only give warm recommendations to both the tour itself and Vincent's effort.

Professional and exciting - Bjarne is a professional and friendly Guide who has a good overview of everything we saw during our tour with Paddan. Captain Lina (Lisa?) had iron control of the boat and route. Feels safe! The grandchildren and I are very pleased. Thanks!

Worthwhile boat tour - We booked this tour for our family (2 adults, 3 teens) last minute. It was well worth it. We saw Gõteburg in a very different way. The tour guide was very engaging and had a phenomenally dry sense of humor that made the tour informative and highly entertaining. Some of the bridges are very low, which added to the overall experience.

Great tour of Goteborg from the water. - This was a great short 50 minute tour of Goteborg, on the water. We only had a short time and decided we wanted to do a tour if we could and this exceeded any of our expectations. Our tour guide was great, and we got a wonderful feel for the city and the history in a short time. Highly recommend this trip for a quick historical tour around the city.
