Great tour, for a different view of the city - A great trip to get a different view of the city. Leon our guide was brilliant, he took his time with us as some of us were nervous initially. If you have time, it is something enjoyable and funny to do as a couple

A different way to see the city... - Absolutely brilliant tour - the guide had loads of interesting information about Stockholm and its history and we were quickly out on the water. You will see (and hear about) different things than you might on a normal city bus tour, so definitely suits those looking for something a bit different.

Great afternoon - We did the tour yesterday with 10 others. Pete was our guide, he’s travelled the world and is great with people. I had never Kayaked before but Pete made sure I was comfortable and could work the rudder properly and gave really concise instructions. We all had different strengths with regard to kayaking and Pete allowed the stronger paddlers to keep moving (by circling so as not to get too far away) and helped the slower ones to keep up. It was a really fun 2 hours and we learned a bit about Stockholm on the way. Pete is very charming and we thought the tour was good value - especially given how expensive Stockholm is. They offer bike and Segway tours too! From one tour guide to another, thanks Pete!!!

Really enjoyable - This is a great way of spending a couple of hours. I was in a small group and our guide Lucas really looked after us. He had interesting anecdotes to tell us about the buildings and places we saw. He even took a few photos so we had something to share with friends and family. I am far from being an expert in a kayak but I had no problems at all. Highly recommended.

Great tour! - Really beautiful kayak tour even on a colder cloudy day. Definitely harder than anticipated with the wind & current. Louis was a nice guide, gave a few fun facts but the tour is primarily geared towards the kayaking experience / less about Stockholm. Would have been nice if he stayed closer to the group as a guide. All in all fantastic time, nice perspective of the city. Would love to do it again in better weather conditions!

Lovely guide but disappointing overall - The guide was lovely but unfortunately the experience overall was disappointing. We had booked for two people but assumed we’d get a choice of individual kayaks (we were only allowed a double) and we didn’t actually go very far in the two hour period (it was just an out & back). If looking to get out on the water and want more flexibility, I’d recommend hiring kayaks (rather than going out in a group) from Stockholm Adventures.
