Wonderful Stockholm Tour! - Nadia was an excellent guide! Her knowledge about the Old Town area was really good and she made it interesting to listen to her. I enjoyed hearing about all the history about the buildings and how important they are to the history of Stockholm and Sweden.

Not our favorite walking tour - Our guide was very knowledgeable but soft spoken. The maximum group size was supposed to be 15 but was slightly larger at 22. Most of the other participants were college exchange students & 2 chaperones who often talked amongst themselves while the tour guide was speaking - making it even more difficult to hear her. Sticking to the maximum of 15 people and giving the guide a microphone would have helped.

Under the spreading chestnut tree. - When Natalie met us under the chestnut tree we were the only 2 sightseers! She was so kind to continue with the tour, despite the low numbers. She guided us round the old town Gamla Stan, informing us of the dark and lighter times in Stockholm. Her personal recommendations at the end of our tour were greatly appreciated.

A good intro to Stockholm - This is a great overview of Gamla Stan in Stockholm. Our guide was knowledgeable on the history of Stockholm and had many stories to share. Would recommend for those who want a quick tour.

Very disappointed - My Uber took me to the address on the ticket in plenty of time but there was no restaurant or tree to help find the guide. I wandered around trying to find someone and finally gave up and did my own walking tour of old town without the history lesson.

Cancelled last min without notice - Booked tour same day. Went to meet up point at required time and no one showed up. Messaged tour operator with no response. Was with my dad and I guess it wasn’t worth it if it was only the two of us so it got canceled late. Not worth it, pick another tour service
