My husband and I decided to do touristy things while in Gothenburg. We purchased city cards- which were great! The Paddan boat tour was great- but if it's windy you can get a little wet. We had previously taken a bus tour, and it was nice to see many of the same places from a different point of view. The... More

The padden boat is a nice tour of Gothenburg harbor and some of the canals in the middle of the city. The guides are very entertaining and on our tour spoke Swedish, German & English. I would have rated this higher but for my experience with the infamous "cheese slicer bridge". I am not the most flexible guy anymore and... More

We went on the boat trip at around 6:30pm, it was already quite dark and cold. But the trip start with a cup of hot Glögg and some Cinnamon cookie to warm you up a little. There were a lots of lights in this time of the year, lovely Christmas atmosphere. The guide speak in both Swedish and English explaining... More

We prebooked our trip on the Paddan boat tour, and I'm glad we did. We'd booked the 5.30pm trip and arriving at 5.20pm there were only our seats free on the boat! The guides are very knowledgable and speak both Swedish and English. Be prepared to duck down in the boat when you go under the bridges though - some... More

It was a pretty sunny day, but it gets quite cold. Very informative and lots to see. Not much I can add from the other reviews, but I did want to pass along my recommendation. More

We did the tour on a sunny Monday morning...make sure to check the schedule as it will vary with the season.Dress warm and expect a little wetness due to spray when you go into the harbor. It is the best way to see the city and it is a short but unique expereince...only 50 minutes. Make sure to heed the... More

This boat trip is a definite MUST DO when visiting Gothenburg! You get to see the hole city travelling through the canals and along the harbour line of the city. Its really beautiful, wether day or night, rain or shine. Through the canals, some of them are really low, so you get told to duck. It is great fun to... More

It was pouring with rain, but I wasn't coming to Gothenburg to just see rain. We took the plunge (sic) and bought tickets and Panchos to go on the Paddan Tour. It seemed to rain harder as we wiped the seats down. The guide came on board full of enthusiasm and fun. He may not have preffered to be out... More

The guide, Maria (and skipper Olaf) were very entertaining, in both Swedish and English. Full of information, fun facts and laughter. The boat trip itself was useful to get one's bearings around the city - so most useful too. More
