Great tour with Kiki. Easy to find starting point; learned about the old Town and many recommendations of where else to go, where to eat, where to shop. Good pace, very informative!.
We really enjoyed the guided tour of Stockholm’s Old Town (Gamla Stan). Kiki is a knowledgeable guide who shares a lot of interesting information about the city’s history, along with practical tips for visiting Stockholm. We also appreciated that she pointed out which attractions are less worthwhile, helping us make better use of our time. The tour gave us a good overview of Gamla Stan and plenty of useful information for the rest of our stay. It was interesting and worthwhile.
Kiki was a great guide! She took our small group on a fantastic walk around Stockholm’s Old Town. She showed us the key sites and had great stories. The group had a lovely time together. She left us with a laminated recommendations card as a parting gift and I loved the extra touch. Thank you Kiki!

Kiki, will give you lots of historical facts but also gives you plenty of current information and is willing to help you out through out your stay .
We loved our tour with Kiki back in September. We had a small group of only four total, which really helped to be able to ask questions and appreciate the tour. She gave us excellent recommendations on places in the area to shop or eat, and perhaps more importantly places not worth going. Absolutely worth it. Thank you so much!
High praise indeed! I appreciate your kind words and am very pleased that you enjoyed my tour. Thank you so much!
