Nice way to pass the time! Worth it for older children; the background information is interesting. It takes about 1.5 to 2 hours if you take your time.
I got the trial, not the full experience. I'm sure it would have been good if I could access it. But I was offered a refund
The tour was well balanced (amount of history vs the time it took to finish the tour). Also easy to skip parts if I wanted to.
Good walk through Gamla stan, took us to the "must sees" what we know. Also, recommend the cafe Kaffekoppen by Stortorget! 🥰
Fun tour! Fun with a new way to get a guided tour. It suited us very well not to have to adapt to any set time, but we did this when we had time to spare.
Just took the tour and it's good. Were unsure how much of a "tour" it is but it's definitely the core product. And the minigames helped keeping our kids happy when they started getting bored... (we skipped a few though). All in all: recommend
Fun way to learn about Sweden and Gamla stan's history. Took us to a few (what felt like) not as common tourist sights which we always like.
