Great visit to Uppsala. - He was kind and thoughtful and we saw some amazing places. Took the train and also he hired a taxi once we arrived at Uppsala to transport us to the Botanical Gardens.

Uppsala Tour - Goddine was an amazing tour guide. He went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience. He knew all the history of Uppsala. I will recommend him to all my friends and family. Uppsala is so worth doing if you travel to Stockholm.

Wonderful adventure for folks who love gardens - This was a wonderful tour. Although I did not purchase a personal tour - there was nobody with us except for my family, which was very nice. The tour includes many sites in Uppsala which is a beautiful post card picturesque town. Most of the focus was on gardens which my wife and daughter enjoyed. We also toured parts of a university and the enormous main cathedral. Eddine, our tour guide, was absolutely fantastic. He made us feel special and gave us a very happy experience. He knew the sites and history of the town and gave us many funny moments. Eddine answered our questions with informative responses. He took us to a small cafe for a tasty lunch and then to top off our experience we went to a small chapel to witness a local wedding. Wow!!!

Nice to see some cities outside of Stockholm. - We ended up as the only couple on the tour so it was nice to have it geared to what we wanted to see and do. Carl did a great job and was very informative and had a great sense of humor. This was a seven hour tour was plenty of time for what we wanted to see.

Stockholm - Meatballs & home of ABBA - Beautiful city of Stockholm. A 3 days trip to visit the Grand Palace, Old Town, Viking VASA museum, ABBA muzeum - all within a day trip walking distance.
Must savour the variety of Swedish meatballs. A Must. Also the traditional local food & the lingon berry drink. For nice quality michelin guide, a visit to Lisa Elmqvist establishment in Ostermalms Food Hall for lunch. Always a long wait during peak lunch time so go early.

It was ok. - Tour was nice, but nothing fabulous. Cathedral was nice. Castle was not open to tour. Snack was minimal for lunch. Not really much for the price.

Tour guide did not know anything about what he was showing. - I knew right away that the guide didn't know what he was talking about when he said Carl Linnaeus was in competition with Charles Darwin to come up with the Theory of Evolution. I happen to know something about the subject and pointed out that Linnaeus died 30 years before Darwin was even born. And there were other examples. In the Uppsala Cathedral, I asked about the tomb sculpture of King Gustav Vasa. The king's body is flanked by two women. The guide says one was the wife and the other was his mistress. I did some research later and found out that he actually had two wives. His first wife died early after a fall and then he remarried. Even one of the other people in our group said to me that they should have come on their own. The only good thing about this tour was that he arranged the transportation and bought us a small lunch.

day trip itinerary misleading, dont go. - This day trip was bad. The highlight of this day trip was to visit the Uppsala castle and that didnt happen. at the start of the trip the guide told us that he hoped the castle was open. as we approached the end of the trip working our way toward the castle the guide informed us that the castle was closed and had been for a while. had we known this we would not have paid $552 to see a couple of gardens and a few other insignificant things. bottom line, the guide knew the castle was closed and we were not informed of this. wasted day and i'm out $552. shame on the tour company that falsely advertised this day trip.

Eddine was late, he was... - Eddine was late, he was not forthcoming two attractions were closed. He tried to say, he wouldn’t tell his customers if attractions were closed. He said, he wouldn’t recommend coming at the beginning of May. Why would tour be available for purchase knowing attractions will not be available? I hope someone checks into it. Thanks
