He even shared some of his favorite cinnamon rolls with us! The tour is an excellent way to explore the Stockholm archipelago and with the speed of the boat you really cover a lot of ground (or water!). The finish on the canal is also beautiful.

“Adam is a very friendly guide who created a relaxed atmosphere and told us lots of interesting stories about the archipelago. The visit to Grinda was magical, with an enchanting restaurant serving delicious meatballs. The walk through the mystical troll forest was a lovely way to round off the trip before we took the boat back to Stockholm. The trip definitely benefited from the fact that it wasn't too crowded in May.”
