“Lucas our tour guide was outstanding. For starters, he was self-deprecating and funny, keeping everyone smiling throughout the morning.

This was a very manageable distance to cover for most any riders and a great way to orient yourself to the city and its key sights.”

Review Stockholm’s hop-on hop-off bus tour, including major sights, cruise-terminal tips, boat option, timing, stops, and value.
