Sweden · CITY TOURS
A first day in a new Swedish city usually wants the overview: the water, the old quarter and how the trams work. The 15 below cover the bus loops, the private drivers and the small-group walks, priced and timed.
See Stockholm from a classic archipelago ship on a live-guided cruise through the inner islands. Choose 1.5, 2.5, or 3 hours, listen to English or Swedish commentary, and use the onboard café, restrooms, WiFi, and indoor seating. Guides such as Erik, David, and Christopher have made the route lively and informative.
“Everything was perfect and good. But need free Wi-Fi.”
See Stockholm at your own pace with a 24 or 72-hour bus pass, 11-language audio guide, Wi-Fi, and stops near the Royal Palace, Old Town, Vasa Museum, Skansen, ABBA Museum, City Hall, and cruise terminals. Choose the boat option for a 55-minute water route linking several major sights.
“The tour is very interesting, however, we had some difficulties findings the first stop and schedule”
Meet beside Stockholm Palace and board the blue electric boat for a 50-minute open-air cruise. Your English- or German-speaking guide points out the Palace, Royal Dramatic Theatre, Vasa Museum, ABBA The Museum, and Skeppsholmen. Guides such as Heidi, Anton, Elias, and Valentin are known for warm humor and lively answers.
“Great boat tour! Fabian was funny and instructive! Thanks :) 100% recommandation!”
Spend 50 minutes on Gothenburg’s classic Paddan boat, leaving Kungsportsplatsen for the 17th-century moat, canals, low bridges, shipyards, harbour, and modern districts. A live guide speaks Swedish and English, often mixing useful history with humor. Open boats mean clear views, but you should dress for cool or wet weather.
“It was a lovely boat trip round the city, and honestly we all learnt so much as it covers such a wide spectrum.”
See Stockholm from a red or green double-decker bus on a 24- or 72-hour pass. Ride the full 60-minute loop, or hop off near Gamla Stan, the Royal Palace, Vasa Museum, Skansen, ABBA The Museum, City Hall, and major cruise terminals. Audio commentary, Wi-Fi, mobile tickets, and wheelchair-accessible buses are included.
“No communication from them when you report an error in ticket purchase CITY Hop on/Hop off is not the same as RED Hop on/Hop off.”
Use one digital Go City Pass for 1, 2, 3, or 5 consecutive days in Gothenburg. Visit Universeum, Röhsska Museum, Maritiman, Aeroseum, art museums, and seasonal boat and tram tours. You show your QR code at each entrance, but popular activities need reservations and some transport options operate only in season.
“It was avery wet day and we only managed to use the app for 2 of the places we wanted to visit. So, I would suggest checking what is covered on here and if it is worth the cost of entrance. As places like Lisberg and World of Volvo are not included.”
Use a one-day Gothenburg bus ticket to explore eight stops at your own pace. Hear recorded commentary in English, Swedish, German, French, Italian, Spanish, or Finnish, and hop off near Haga, Feskekörka, Liseberg, Järntorget, and the city center. Mobile and paper vouchers are accepted.
Explore Stockholm by double kayak with a small group of up to 10 people. A guide leads you past City Hall, Södermalm, Riddarholmen, Långholmen, and possibly Reimersholme, sharing local history along the way. Choose a two-hour summer outing or a four-hour winter tour with a drysuit, warm drink, gloves, pogies, and a sandwich.
“We had a great time doing the city kayak tour today.. Fun memories made. It takes a moment to tune into the paddling and steering with your kayak partner but once we had it there was no stopping us :) Misael is a friendly and patient guide. We’d recommend this for anyone looking to add something a little different to their city break!”
See Stockholm from the water in a stable two-person sea kayak, staying close to shore as your English-speaking guide points out sights and shares city stories. Morning and evening departures last 2 to 4 hours. Choose the evening option for a Swedish meal. Guides such as Johan, Martin, Merlin, and Michelle have helped beginners handle wind and waves with confidence.
“My girlfriend and I went on this tour - we did a lot of tours of the city and this was the most fun, and really informative and beautiful. Really can't recommend it highly enough if you're looking for a memorable experience. The guide is a total dude too.”
Ride with a small group through Stockholm’s islands, passing City Hall, Riddarholmen, Gamla Stan, Skeppsholmen, Södermalm, and Djurgården. Your guide trains you first, then adds local stories along the way. Segways, helmets, and limited rain ponchos are supplied. Guides have included Lucas, Stephen, Sophie, Alexandra, and Lancelot.
“What a FABULOUS way to explore Stockholm on Segway’s. Peter was our tour guide and was knowledgeable and experienced. The location is great and we will come back next for other experiences. Super FUN!”
Start outside Stockholm City Hall, then walk through Gamla Stan with a Spanish- or English-speaking guide before taking the ferry to Djurgarden and the Vasa Museum. You’ll see the Royal Palace, Cathedral, Nobel Prize Museum, and the 17th-century warship. Guides such as Sophie, Oscar, Bea, and Arthur are praised for lively storytelling.
“Oscar was an amazing guide. We covered a lot of ground & he was very informative & great sense of humor. Highly recommend this tour to get as much out of our one day in this beautiful city.”
Join a small group of up to eight for an 8-hour drive from Kiruna to Narvik. You’ll cross into Norway, stop for fjord and mountain views, hear stories about Lapland and Arctic history, and have time for lunch in Narvik. Guides have included Daniel, Léonie, Lukas, and Greg.
“Overall good value for the money, don‘t expect the most dramatic scenery, Narvik is not an ancient cute town. Seen some decent spots, but next time would rent a car and do the Trip on my own. Nothing bad with the tour at all, I just enjoy the freedom to stop the car at any possible Location to take some Images.”
Take control of a private electric boat from Christina Nilssons gata 1 and cruise Gothenburg’s canals at an easy pace. No boating or driving license is needed. Your group of up to 12 gets life jackets, blankets, and a digital guide with more than 30 stops. Bring snacks, drinks, or a dog, but the driver must be at least 18 and sober.
“Virkelig en hyggelig oplevelse! Og alt fungerede som det skulle”
Join a live-guided 55-minute cruise from Klara Mälarstrand, beside Stockholm City Hall. You’ll travel through Lake Mälaren, narrow canals, and open water while hearing commentary in English and Swedish. Expect historic buildings, newer districts, and clear views of Karlberg, Långholmen, and Riddarholmen from the boat.
“Totalt värdelöst eftersom vi trodde det skulle bli en fin båttur med mahognybåt men istället kom en vanlig turistbåt! Någon guide såg vi inte till.”
Use a 24-hour City Sightseeing ticket to circle Gothenburg by bus, stopping near Kungsparken, Feskekörka, Liseberg, Haga, and the city center. You get audio commentary in seven languages and headphones. Service is seasonal, so check the exact departure times before booking.
“BEWARE!!! I bought 3 tickets on the Viator app in the afternoon that were supposed to be good for 24hrs. However, they stopped driving for the day 10min after my purchase and I was advised that they were not open for business the next day!!!! I contacted Viator and guess what, my request for a refund was denied!! A SCAM!!! I was told that should have read the fine print of the operational hours”
Pick a quay, a forest, or a long dark night.
