English guides such as Mario, Alan, and Peter add useful local tips.
“This trip was excellent, way better even than we expected. The balance of guided tour and free time was perfect. I am an older person but did the trip with my adult children aged 27 to 35.

“We had a great time with Steen, traveling in a minivan there’s about 10 of us. My kids age 20 and 15 also enjoyed the scenery and commentary along the way. Steen made it personalized with his scandi humor rather than just listening the pre recorded commentary that can easily put you to sleep. Bring phone charger or power bank and pack snacks specially if you got small kids. We stopped few times along the way and easily accessed washrooms. As it is winter we have to layered and rugged a lot but it’s cozy and warm in the van. It’s a very quick ferry ride to cross to Sweden,…”

Boat was very spacious, everyone could spread out and have a row or two between them and other passengers. Tour was very informative, and our guide was very knowledgeable. Was also relaxing being on the water. Great tour! Would highly recommend :)”

Our guide was great but I can’t remember her name, just remember she is from Italy.”
