“The boat, captain, and chief guide were excellent. We had expected that the tour would include a stop to visit the archipelago itself. However, the experience was limited to staying on the boat and viewing the many islands around Stockholm from the water. It is likely we did not read the description carefully, which led to different expectations.”
