Hello I really enjoyed. Just the first 2 stops were quite long especially in a place that was very cold and windy. So it could be said more briefly. But other than that the guide was fantastic and really gave us all the important informations and also recommended other places to visit and go to eat. Thank you

“Great!”

Julia was knowledgeable and gave us as many information as needed. This tour is not tiring. She took us to alleys that, are near Gamla Stan but that, you wouldn't discover on your own. Definitely recommend her! It was bad to see people not tipping her as much as the tour she did was worth it.

“Review title”

There was no story telling included nor logical connection between information. Just a bunch of random facts that didnt give me much idea of Stockholm. Also there were over 40 people in the group, so it was competitive to get a spot good enough to hear the guide. She was trying to speak loid and clear, but group was just too big.

“Good tour”

The guide was good. Native to Sweden and showed us the Old Town area. I appreciated the history shared at each stop. We were a large group… the only downside was that the guide needed a mic or to speak a bit louder. Overall, great tour, just needed some more volume given crowd size.

“Great! (and a Little Bit exhausting)”

The Tour was great, as was the guide! I learned many new and interesting things. The group size was a Little Bit too big, bc you often stood the way for other people and i think it would even better to remember all of it of the tour lasted only 1,5 hours max! Still a great experience!!

“Late & insecure”

We did this tour on Saturday, as a first thing when we arrived to Stockholm. Unfortunately, our guide was 10-15min late which resulted already in a bad start for the group. The tour itself is very interesting showing the main points of Gamla Stan. Our guide though was not really able to catch the attention. Further it was a pitty, that she answered questions only to those who asked them and not loud enough so everybody could listen. We have done such walking tours before and found them very interesting, this time, unfortunately, we were not very happy

“Tour guidato nel centro storico di Stoccolma ”

Guida molto preparata e simpatica (Amon), un inglese molto buono e comprensibile, tanto contenuto storico concentrato in poche tappe, forse sarebbe più utile distribuirlo su più tappe in modo da conoscere anche i principali luoghi della Old Town e aiutarci a orientarci meglio.
