A wonderful experience - It was a dream come true to come to Sweden and paddle a canoe. I was also pleased to be able to see the city hall that I visited the day before from the water. There were three of us, including the young people in the tandem, and although I was old and lagging behind, we enjoyed ourselves at our own pace. The experience will be the best memory!!

Great fun, relaxed and would highly recommend - Seeing Stockholm from the water was awesome and totally different perspective than what we’d seen the days prior. Bobby was great and super friendly, would also recommend adding the sauna to the tour as after 3 hours of kayak and quick cold dip and hot sauna was a nice way to finish off. Highly recommend

Great way to exercise and explore Stockholm - This trip was so much fun and the sauna was a definite must. It was a great way to start the New Year out right and a great workout too! My friends and I had a blast, I definitely recommend it to anyone in the area looking for an alternative way to see Stockholm (:

Very good but... - Good morning, The speaker was really very friendly and listened to us, wanting to do the best he could. The problem is that there are no toilets, including for those who do the sauna afterwards. The practice was very pleasant but not all the paths were passable, we were not able to go around certain islands. Finally, the speaker did not send us the photos he took of us, which is a shame (even though he must have our email address?). Otherwise it remains a great experience.
