What people are saying about Gothenburg

This was a great experience, went with my grandson who is 14 years old and he also thought it was great!! The guide who told the story during the trip was really good and funny, there were a lot of good laughs, only have positive things to say!!!

Didn’t understand how to use it at first so I texted the number listed and they helped. Ended up using it is the whole time and it worked smoothly. Much better than grabbing a SIM card for each country I visited.

Absolutely brilliant and fun tour, with knowledgeable and entertaining staff. Definitely worth doing.

Great way to tour the city, and see things from the water you can't see from land.

Fun tour of the city and harbor! Definitely recommend.
