Very informative great tastings at the food hall of deer, bear, elk cloudberry jams and cheeses along with Swedish meatballs. Then at one stop we had fish soup along with four tastings. Not a fan of licorice but we tried that and finished with Fika.
Cotton was a great guide and very good communicator! One of my favorite food tours so far! Two food halls are the main things, no big meals but some tasting and lots of info.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and introduced our group to a wonderful selection of foods
Our tour guide, Matt was excellent! No spoilers but he treated us to a wide range of what Sweden has to offer. It was a lovely mix of delicious food and sightseeing.
Tour is NOT acceptable for all ages. Tour Guide, Katan (sp?) was abrupt, rude, detached from his customers, unresponsive to requests, and surprised and resentful when asked to speak louder in a noisy environment. He strongly and repeatedly discouraged my elderly mother from participating in the tour, walked at his own speed regardless of the tour group being a full block behind him, and finished the tour with a monologue on the Swedish political and economic safety net system. He should not work with the general public. The food, however, was interesting and quite good.
We had an incredible experience with our tour guide Matt. He was very patient and took his time explaining the culture, the city, the food and history of Stockholm. This was my second time taking this tour and it was absolutely incredible!
Cotton was a great tour guide. I felt the tour was well paced and informative. The variety of foods was great.
Please note that the 2 stars are only for Viator's management of this experience, not the experience itself. The experience itself was great. We loved our food tour, learned a lot, and got to eat some great food. The guide was excellent. However, Viator seems to have listed it thru a local tour company, and the 2 companies did not communicate. On the morning of the tour we received multiple reminders from Viator of the time and location. We arrived at the tour location and found that no one was there. I called the listed number in Viator's email and the local tour company told me that the tour had been rescheduled for 6 hours later. They said they had reached out to the attendees to notify them, but we never heard from them. We did end up attending the delayed tour, but we had wasted an entire morning of our vacation going to and from the tour location just to have it postponed.
Tour lead contacted me to cancel, as I booked <24hours out Viator seems not wishing to refund, though I went to meeting point, no one there. Cancelled by organizer, not me.
Excellent!! Theresa was very knowledgeable and lovely to talk with. There was a wonderful variety of delicious high quality food that represented traditional Swedish cuisine. We have been on many food tours and this was one of the best!! You will be stuffed at the end!!!
