Peter Jenks review 5 Jul 2025
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
We very much enjoyed our self-guided walking holiday on the Stockholm Archipelago. We were blessed with excellent weather and enjoyed beautiful scenery in the Tyresta National Park and on the islands or Uto, Alo and Orno. We saw deer, moose, hare and many different birds, including osprey, white-tailed eagle and common crane. We found the route-finding for the walks straightforward and was made even easier by the Ride with GPS app. The information provide by the operator was comprehensive and helpful, and Carmen is always on hand if needed. The hotels (including the well-located ones in Stockholm) were all of a good standard with generous breakfasts, and the travel arrangements by bus/boat all worked like clockwork. There were many highlights, including the visit to the remote Huvudskar islands and arriving hot and tired after a walk at the Batshaket fish restaurant on Alo and sharing a seafood platter and wine as the sun went down over the water.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Keep it simple - the itinerary and information provided are excellent, so just go with it.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
We used local bakeries and shops and used the excellent public transport while there. Much of the information pack we returned for re-use.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Five Stars - an excellent and relaxing get-away.Edwina Jones review 28 Jul 2024
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
We loved the paths on the islands through unspoilt flower filled meadows and woodland paths lined with blueberry bushes. We rarely met anyone else as we walked. On the small boat out to Huvudskar we chatted to the people heading out to spend a week on the island - no running water or electricity - who go every year without fail. We had just a glimpse of life out on this remote island.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
The walking is not particularly strenuous although the first day is a long one through the Tyresta National Park forest with no convenient cafes so stock up on drinks, lunch and snacks the night before.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
We definitely made good use of the excellent bakeries and cafes at Dalaro, Uto and local restaurants in the evening. Walking, cycling and using public transport feels as though it has reduced environmental impact.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
This is our second walking trip in the Stockholm Archipelago and we can't recommend the holiday highly enough. The organisation is fantastic and the islands are so beautiful. We have been very lucky with weather both times with temperatures ideal for walking. We can't wait to return next year.Holiday Reviews
