STOCKHOLM Sightseeing Tours

Under the bridges of Stockholm
If you want to see the whole of Stockholm from the water, you should choose a two-hour trip which passes under 15 bridges and through two locks. The captain and the guide will conduct us on a tour on both the sea and on lake Mälaren. We will see all the well-known buildings.
Historical Canal Tour
Our guide takes you on a one-hour tour past the old city island of Gamla Stan, Stockholm's southern island named Södermalm, the old prison island of Långholmen and around the island of Kungsholmen. The guide will tell you about our city's former days and about the city and its people today.
Royal Canal Tour
Our tour on Stockholm's waterways starts with a trip along the shady canal of Djurgården. As the canal opens out into the sea, we return towards to the city and pass Fjäderholmarna, Prince Eugen's Waldemarsudde, the Vasa museum, Södermalm and Slussen.
Sightseeing Anno 1935
Join us for a round trip in the spirit of 1935. Our open wooden boat, the m/s Stegeholm, with her captain and our guide in typical uniforms of the era, all contribute to what is a rather special experience. The tour takes us around the central areas of Stockholm, through the harbor and under bridges. The boat sails from the statue of Gustav III, just by the Royal Palace and from Strömkajen.
Stockholm Panorama
See the whole of Stockholm in 90 minutes. We show you the most famous buildings and views, including a stop at Fjällgatan, where the view of Stockholm's islands and waters is truly wonderful.
Royal Stockholm
We start with a tour all round Stockholm, including Södermalm, Kungsholmen, Djurgården and City districts. We stop at Fjällgatan to enjoy the beautiful view of the city, after which we visit the Royal Palace, and round off the tour with a walk through the Old City (Gamla Stan), finally arriving back at Gustav Adolfs torg.
Historical Stockholm
We drive through the Södermalm district, stopping at Fjällgatan, from where there is a spectacular view out over Stockholm. We continue on to Kungsholmen and City districts, and the royal park, Djurgården. We visit the famous Vasa Museum, home of the 17th century warship which sank on her maiden voyage. The tour ends with sightseeing in the Diplomatstaden and Östermalm districts.
Old Town Walkabout
Join us in an exciting walk through the narrow streets of the Old Town. Our guide will take you through Stortorget (Main Square), and will tell you about the Stockholm blood bath of 1520, as well as recounting the legend of St George and the Dragon. After this we will stroll through the courtyards and lanes of the city's oldest section, sights which many visitors normally miss. The group will consist of a maximum of 20 people. We use individual headphones on this tour so that everyone can hear equally well, even when standing away from the guide.
Stockholm in a Nutshell
This is the combination tour which shows you the whole of Stockholm. We start with a coach trip around the city, viewing the best known sites and buildings. After one hour and a half, we transfer to a boat to sail around the royal park of Djurgården and past the most inner archipelago islands.
Drottningholm with guide
Meet the guide on Stadshusbron in front of the the turn-of-the century ship, m/s Prins Carl Philip, built in 1901. During the boat ride the guide will explain about the route, Stockholm's history and what awaits you when you reach the castle. Upon arrival we visit the palace's exhibition floor, followed by the unique 18th century theatre where performances are still given during the summer. On performance days we visit the China Palace instead, or take a walk through the magnificent palace grounds. The tour is concluded with a boat trip back to Stockholm.
Boat excursions
In the Archipelago and on Lake Mälaren
Find out the differences between the shipping companies operating in the archipelago before you book your trip! Seen from outside, every boat is white, but the differences are considerable. For some companies it is enough to arrange the trip only, without such extras as guiding, special visits on the islands or on-board restaurants. From our company, however, you get more than just the trip.
For every excursion you can read which extras you and your family will be getting when you choose to travel with us. Every page of this brochure gives you information on the extra things we can offer you and your family when you choose to travel with us.
Family discount in summer
For some destinations we offer special summer discounts. This means that two full-paying adults can take two children up to age 11 without any extra charge! The family discount applies from June 28­August 15 with the following destinations: Björkö/Birka, Rosersberg, Sigtuna, Skokloster, Steninge and Sandhamn.
