Recommend - but improvements needed - This tour experience started out very poorly - however, our excellent guide Dominic did a wonderful job turning things around and save the day. When we booked the tour in person the day before, the manager did not tell us that we would be traveling on a public ferry - this wasn’t necessarily a problem, but he should have disclosed this detail. Additionally, he told us the tour included a 30 min live guided tour at Vaxholm and then we would have an hour to explore before the boat returned. When we arrived (15 min later than expected), we were told that we would only have about 20 minutes before returning - but if we wanted to stay longer we could take a later ferry at OUR expense. After our group expressed extreme disappointment - the guide called the manager and our time at Vaxholm was extended for two hours and we were not required to pay for a new ferry ticket. I believe this tour is new and it will take some time to smooth out the process. I appreciate that the manager ultimately did the right thing. I RECOMMEND this tour and I especially recommend guide Dominic - he did a wonderful job. I expect SKS will continue to improve the visitor experience so give them a try.

Tourist trap. - Avoid. The boat is part of public transportation and costs 42sek if you go by yourself, kids are free. They guiding on board is against the rules and the headsets with battery are usually dumped in the waste bin and not recycled properly.
