Tour of the old town (Gamla Stan) with an Italian guide (Lisa). She told us many interesting facts about the city and its inhabitants, lots of information that you cannot find in tourist guidebooks. Highly recommended for getting a historical-cultural overview of Stockholm. The tour lasted 2h 45
Had a good time and learned a lot about Sweden and Stockholm. Our tour guide Sylvia was great and very friendly and even offered her umbrella when it rained a little bit.
This tour was amazing! We had Anna and she was really informative and made the tour a lot of fun! She explained everything really well and answered all of the questions that were asked. I would definitely recommend
Our guide, Carlotta, was delightful -- funny, lots of good information. Warning that the tour is more like three hours than two hours.
