Hotel Pick up / Start locations

Stockholm Cruise Guests – possible to book or not? What tour lengths usually does work out?
We have handled a lot of cruise guests over the years and our tours are appropriated for being private and small group and for not being pushed into a bus of 50 or so other guests.
# Possible transported tour lengths suitable if on a cruise? The 3h or the 5h transported tours usually work with cruise ship times when in shore from the harbors Stadsgården, Frihamnen or Värtahamnen. If arriving at Nynäshamn you got 1h to Stockholm city first and there the 3h tours works best to book.
# Cruise guests will get a pick up at the Stockholm cruise harbors Frihamnen, Värtahamnen and Stadsgården (not Nynäshamn harbor due to being 1h away from Stockholm).
We’ll email instructions and you can also find them in a folded out button below this block of text.
