We booked and paid a “Gothenburg Private Walking Tour with a Local" for 09 August 2026 with Humrahe over Viator. We received all customary email notifications; we answered and confirmed all those requesting an answer. The series of emails continued until just before the scheduled tour and even afterwards, demanding favorable feedbacks. On the tour's day we sent another confirmation message to the designated guide, that remained unanswered. At the meeting point on Kungsportsplatsen at 11am there was nobody. We called the guide, he seemed surprised and unaware of this assignment. We both tried to reach Humrahe at the phone number provided by Viator (confirmed on Humrahe's Facebook page) – we were said it is an incorrect number. We are extremely disappointed by this experience.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We sincerely apologise for the missed tour and the frustration caused by the lack of communication. We understand how disappointing this was, especially after receiving multiple confirmations. We take this matter seriously and will investigate what went wrong with the assignment and communication. We truly regret the inconvenience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
You will learn a lot of history and get to see quite a bit of the city center. Elizabeth is an excellent guide. She’s friendly and informative.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We’re delighted you had such an enjoyable experience with our Rahe.

We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again soon!
Vanessa was outstanding! Extremely knowledgeable and clearly enjoyed showing us the highlights of Gothenburg. The 3 hours we spent with her were a highlight of our time in Sweden. I highly reccomend.

Avoid this operator at all costs. I booked and paid in full for the Gothenburg Private Walking Tour with a Local (operated by HUMRAHE LIMITED) — specifically a private tour, because we had only one day in Gothenburg. Before the tour, our guide Veronica Kecki messaged asking whether we'd be open to having other people join us. I said no, since we had a single day in the city and had paid for a private experience. She then told me she'd received requests for larger tours — and that she would therefore have to cancel mine. Let that sink in: she canceled a fully paid private booking so she could make more money off a bigger group. It's staggeringly unprofessional and completely unethical. No replacement was offered. Stay far away — unethical and not to be trusted.
Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologise for your experience and understand how disappointing this must have been, especially when you had planned a private tour during your limited time in Gothenburg. We want to clarify that tours should never be cancelled in favour of other bookings, and this does not reflect the standards we expect from our guides. We take your comments very seriously and will investigate this matter internally to ensure appropriate action is taken. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention and apologise again for the inconvenience caused.
