Skating on frozen lake was absolutely breathtaking! Our tour guide, Johan was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with three Aussie girls from Sydney, who were mesmerised by the stunning scenery and couldn’t stop taking photos. Skating on ice can be challenging, but Johan was incredibly patient, guiding us through the basic steps and supporting us throughout the entire 8km journey. The tour ended perfectly with a delicious lunch & hot drinks adding a special touch to an already amazing experience. I highly recommend this tour—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

100% recommend and 100% worth the money. We went at the end of February and the conditions were still great. Johan was a great guide, took care of everything. There was literally nothing to complain about. If you go to Stockholm, don't waste money on expensive bars, go do something fun outside instead.

The skating tour was organized really well. The explanation was clear, the equipment was good (sharp skates!) and the guide gave me the freedom to skate some extra "laps" since my level was a bit higher then the rest of the group. I enjoyed it a lot and would come back again for a long tour.
