Great tour with some history - Erik did a great job. He knew his history very well which is so important for these local tours. Loved the Stockholm center review. I would have liked to see a bit more of Gamlastan although I understand this was not the focus of the tour.

Highly recommended - I highly recommend this tours to discover more about swedish culture, city structure, citizens habits and much more! The guide was professional, on time and never boring. Super interesting. If possible, join during the first days of your stay in the city, so that you still have time to follow all the suggestions they give you during the tour to explore more.

Nice and intresting tour! - Very nice and interesting tour with guide Stefan. It was a perfect introduction to my trip in Stockholm, as you learn a lot about the orientation, the major buildings and the history and actuality of the city and the country. The group was small, wich made it very comfortable and the guide also took his time to let us ask a lot of questions. Recommended!

Great tour of a beautIful city - We met Stefan easily, outside the train station and he gave us a wonderful mainly waterside tour taking in the city hall, Parliament buildings, Prime Minister’s official residence, the Royal Palace, the Opera House and many more interesting buildings and gardens. It was a really sunny day and quite hot - as you can see from the photos!

Great intro to contemporary Stockholm - Excellent introduction of the contemporary part of the city with the right mix of story and walking. Our guide was superb and told us a lot of anecdotal story that made the tour less museum-like and more alive.

walking tour around Stockholm city center - Very good tour, we learned about some interesting history of the city. The guide was a nice and warm lady. Although we did not walk a lot, I would not recommend it for people with some physical issues as it is a little tiring.

Very informative - Very knowledgeable guide. Spoke about the history and culture of Sweden. Use of the iPad to show pictures and explain certain points wasn't great, as it was hard to see in the sunlight.

Skip the city tour. It is nothing like it is described. Needs a complete refresh or reframing. - This City tour needs a complete refresh. It took 45 mins to go from central station via city hall to the second spot. The route was long and largely boring. A new starting point would improve the walk. There was moderate historical and cultural knowledge from the guide but we could have gotten that sitting down in one spot. He had a head piece microphone that he strangely wore around his neck. This meant he fiddled with it alot and information was hard to hear. Very few sites/locations were pointed out and when they were, not much description of the building or place was provided. When we visited the art work/sculpture for the man who saved 10,000 jews during the war he could not tell us the symbolism of each of the pieces, did not point out the signature nor ball. All this I found out for myself on the internet aftewards. I wouldn't normally mind but I did ask about the art work and he said he could not find anything about it on the internet??🤔 My husband & I have been on a number of 'free' walking tours in Europe and this one was the least enjoyable and is nothing like it is described. Really poor. So skip this one but definitely do the Gamla Stan one. The women who run that tour were outstanding!
