He gave us kayaking tips, told us relevant geographical and historical information about the area, and pointed out interesting sights. Lunch on an island was a great break. Excellent way to get out of the city and get a different experience in Sweden. After the tour we used the sauna on site (additional cost and need to ask if it is available, but well worth it!) which helped ease the muscle aches.”
