Cedric was a great guide. He gave us lots of information about the history of Stockholm as well as the Jewish history. He was quite personable and friendly.
This nighttime walking tour was full of information! History, people, places, events, dates and more. Our guide,who's name I am unfortunately blanking on, shared his passion and in depth knowledge of the city of Stockhom with us. Although we thoroughly enjoyed the tour, the Jewish emphasis, including the museum and synagogue, were less than we expected.
