The perfect way to see Gothenburg! This 50 minute tour provides and excellent overview of the city with quippy guides who made jokes about 'trusting in cod' as we passed the Fish Church. The view from the seaport is beautiful; well worth the price.

This 50 minute boat tour is a lovely way to become oriented to the city, and to learn more about the history.
We enjoyed a great tour with Leah as the guide. The tour was dual language (Swedish and English), informative and humourous. We also saw sites that we’d not otherwise have had access to (for example, the working boat docks and banana pier).
This is definitely a wonderful way to explore the city. Highly recommended!

We loved this tour! We felt we really saw a lot of Gothenburg in 50 minutes, and the tour guide was great - really knowledgable on the history and made the whole tour interesting. The online ticket buying process was also very straightforward and the tour was easy to find. Overall a great experience that I’d recommend

Fun and interesting way to spend time and learn more about the city. The tour guide peppers the historic facts with jokes to keep you interested. Would recommend to anyone doing a short visit to the city.
We went on a lovely day, about 16 degrees and sunny but you will NEED A COAT. As it get's breezy when you hit the river front and you can get sea spray if you're sitting near the front.

Just had a tour today with Martin as the tour guide and Gustav as the driver! The whole tour was above any expectations!! Martin is really amazing! He obviously has a lot of experience and is full of knowledge. The tour was absolutely inspiring and hilarious with Martin's comments. 100% would recommend the tour with Martin as the guide 😁

It was a great tour that really helped to get to know the city better. Siri was a great guide; and also very important, Linnea was doing a good job at steering the boat the right way. Siri made quite some dry humor jokes, which we liked. And even though she must of told the stories quite often, you do not notice. She is engaging and really gives everyone on the boat a good time. Recommend!

We went on the boat tour when the weather was a little cloudy and damp, however the tour was still fun, and very interesting our guide spoke excellent English and was very good at pointing out lots of sights with fun facts. When we got into open water we did get a little splashed, but it was all part of the fun, I think it’s probably not quite so wet at the back of the boat, but as with all things you do you should dress appropriately. It took about 50 minutes and I thought good value for money.

What a great hour or so spent on the waterways of Goteborg even the weather didn't dampen the experience. Extremely informative and entertaining too. Excellent guide who spoke better English than me!!!! and the corny jokes went down really well.
Worth the money, worth the time, worth the effort (even on a terrible day weather wise)

Was a great tour to take, cold weather aside. Guide was great, he had a lot of good information and jokes, puns, but still funny. Great way to see Gothenburg from the water.

Donde hay que coger la barcaza? como llegas en tranvía?

La barcaza se coge en Kungsportsplatsen, junto al puente. Respecto del tranvía, observa porque mucha gente sube y baja y no paga, y no pasa nada. Se puede pagar en metálico o con tarjeta.

Hello. We will be arriving in Goteborg on Aug 7th (Sunday) from a cruise (Holland America) from 11 am to 10 pm. Would you tell us the best way to get from the cruise terminal to this hop-on and off guided canal tour? Is there a specific departure time that would accommodate 4 adults in our group? Would we be able to purchase this tour at the ticket office instead of on line? Would the cost be the same as advertised online? thank you.
Also do you also offer a combined hop on hop off boat and bus tour? If you do, how much is the combination tour?

You can just head straight there and buy a ticket. If the weather is good I would say the canal is better as a starting point. You can easily walk there from the ferry terminal in five minutes.

Hi. We will be in Gothenburg on Aug 7th ( Sunday) Do you provide "free" walking tour based on tips or for a set fee only? If you do, what time are either to walking tour? Also where do we meet? If there is a set fee, what is the cost?
Thank you. Looking forward to obtain information for our trip planning.

Not sure why you're asking me about a walking tour as I give no indication of any such tour. I looked for free walking tours myself but couldn't find any in the city just paid tours.

Hej Mario!
Um vom Deutschlandsterminal von Stena Line zu uns zu kommen, nimmst du am besten von der Station "Jaegerdorffplatsen" die Straßenbahnlinie 3 in Richtung Kålltorp und steigst in der Innenstadt an der Station "Kungsportsplatsen" aus. Von der Station aus siehst du schon unseren Kiosk.
Herzlich willkommen!
