Review of Stockholm’s Old Town walking tour, with medieval stories, colorful streets, guide quality, value, meeting tips, and booking advice.

“The tour was solid and we enjoyed walking around Old Town. Our guide, Nadia, was still fairly new and while she knew the tour, she will benefit from a wider knowledge of Stockholm's history at some point. But, as always, we got a good tour and learned a lot about Stockholm's Old Town and its history.”

Stockholm Royal Djurgården Boat Tour

15.Stockholm Royal Djurgården Boat Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 150 reviews · 50 minutes (approx.) · from $36

Cruise Stockholm’s waterways past Djurgården, Fjäderholmarna, Södermalm, and Gamla Stan with multilingual audio commentary.

“The good was that they were running in December. The not-so-good boat commentary is ok, but a little sparse. When we came around the island the Captain sped up and water/fog blocked the windows towards the front of the boat. The view across the water to the shore was also blocked for several minutes by a large passenger boat. I’ve been told the Archipelago tour is the one to take.”
