Stromma | Stockholm Highlights Boat Tour - Stockholm

Hakan T.

With this company, we joined two tours in Stockholm — one of them was the archipelago & Vaxholm tour, and the other was the canal tour. The boat on the first tour was quite crowded and uncomfortable, and the seating didn’t allow you to properly enjoy the surroundings, although the tour content itself was satisfying. The second one, the canal tour, was almost perfect thanks to the comfort of the boat and the professionalism and content delivered by the captain and the tour guide.

Very bad experience we paid full ticket with guide in our own languages and the guide was not working at the beginning at all. Then it was only available via the microphone of the boat and only in English. Impossible to listen and understand with the noise of the people on board and my husband who does not speak English lose the opportunity of the guided tour. Unacceptable

The boat ride and views of the city are fantastic. However, the main reason we paid for the tour instead of riding the ferry around the city is to learn information about Stockholm. I don't know if it is the headphones or the headphone jack, but we tried multiple different seats. Several were completely broken so you couldn't hear. Others worked intermittently. It was very difficult to hear the tour. In hindsight I would have just taken the ferry and saved money.
Also the tour was very difficult to find. In winter there are several different docks and most are not staffed. We followed the directions from the email and the website. We were at the wrong dock. Luckily we spoke with a staff member who just happened to be getting off one of the boats and he helped us get to the right area which was a 10 minute walk from where we were. Glad we arrived early.

Wir hatten eine wirklich wunderschöne Bootstour unter den Brücken von Stockholm - die Organisation hat reibungslos geklappt, das Personal war freundlich, das Wetter war toll, also saßen wir im Heck an der frischen Luft und in der Sonne. Alles perfekt. Warum dann nur 4 Sterne?

Der Audioguide auf Deutsch wurde von einer KI gesprochen.

Liebes Stromma-Team - das geht gar nicht, tut mir leid. Die künstliche Stimme ist unangenehm und auf Dauer einschläfernd, ein monotoner Singsang ohne Höhen und Tiefen, ohne Empathie, das ist einfach ermüdend. Irgendwann konnte und wollte ich nicht mehr zuhören.
Ich empfehle, sich ein Beispiel am Tourguide im Vasa Museum zu nehmen. Die deutsche Sprecherin hat das hervorragend gemacht, es ist eine Freude, ihr zuzuhören, und dann bleiben die Informationen auch hängen.

Ich zahle für die Tour, dann erwarte ich auch beste Qualität, nicht eine KI, die mir erklärt, dass sie diverse Wörter nicht richtig aussprechen kann, weil sie noch lernt. Da kann ich mir die Informationen auch gleich selbst raussuchen und vorlesen lassen. Und das hat nichts mit Fortschritt zu tun (ich habe nichts gegen KI, sie ist in vielen Bereichen hilfreich) - aber für eine Sightseeing-Tour ist das ein Armutszeugnis.

Despite being an hour early we found the boat full when it arrived to our boarding dock. From the only seats we could find by a window in the back of the totally enclosed boat we couldn’t see anything (avoid the left; everything interesting is on the right) but worst was the carbon monoxide poisoning that entered and pooled by our seats, making the experience close to unbearable. Many beside us fell asleep while others more aware of the situation resorted to standing closer to the front of the boat where at least the air was more breathable. The experience wasn’t so bad for all on the boat though. My advice: do your research carefully ahead of time and choose your boarding site and seat wisely!! But probably the public ferry is a better bet- more fresh air and clearer views.

Boat tour was cramped and hot. They used an AI to give brief comments as opposed to paying a real Swedish local. Tour could easily be done in an hour and a half but dragged on for over 2.5 hours. Cafe and washroom on the boat was fine. Not worth the money.

Angenehme Bootsrundfahrt unter den Brücke von Stockholm. Gutes Preis- Leistungsverhältnis, informativer Audio-Kommentar in 11 verschiedenen Sprachen. Schöne Aussochten, empfehle ich weiter!

We tried to do this tour as part of the go city pass but they said it was canceled because of the ice/snow. Nothing you could do about that. So we did the royal canal tour, which ended up being underwhelming. Honestly wouldn’t have been worth the money if it wasn’t covered by the go city pass. We wanted to do the archipelago tour but we were told those tours are only on the weekend. The reason I gave this two stars was because the website’s information is basically all wrong. You’re better off going to the customer kiosk to make a reservation and ask for information. Perhaps these would be better in the summer…
