Go with Nada
Nada, our guide, made all the difference. An Indonesian transplant to Gothenberg, we got a unique perspective on the city that the average traveler would not be luckily enough to experience.

Skip this tour and find something better.
This tour was not worth it. All we did was walk around the city with not enough commentary on the local attractions. We walked over 22,000 steps during the day. I wanted more history and detail.
