    The tour was fascinating, especially because of the weather. Snow-covered streets and a stunning landscape. Many stops that include the most important parts of the city. The only downside was that we had difficulty finding the departure stop because it was not correctly indicated on the website where we purchased the ticket.

    The schedule is very short. It does not give time to see several attractions. The bus that was supposed to leave at 17:00 from point 1 did not leave.

    What's particularly nice is that you can get on and off as often as you like. Our mooring time in the harbor wasn't that long, so we always had to look at the clock to make sure we were on time. Apart from that, Stockholm is a very beautiful city, but you need a lot more time.

    Good descriptions in the audio guide. The boat tour was only possible until 17.00. This could be added to the flyer. This would prevent unnecessary waiting times.

    We bought 24 hours tickets and started around 10.45 in the morning. The bus tour was okay but we didn't experienced the hop on hop off boat as the 24 hours is a semi-lie. 24 hours is misleading as the company only operates from 10 a.m. till 18.00 and at 17.30 we couldn't get on a boat anymore as the last boat seems to be at the and of its tour before 6 p.m. Anyhow we returned with a local ferry.
