Jenny was wonderful: entertaining, extremely knowledgeable, and friendly. She speaks four languages fluently (German, English, Swedish, and Czech) and had lots of recommendations for things to do after the walking tour ended. Highly recommend this tour!

Grace was lovely and knowledgeable. It was a great two hours. We learned a lot about the history and were shown things we wouldn’t have noticed on our own.
Our guide spoke French and English. He was very interesting, funny, knew his history of Gamla Stan and Sweden well. Answered all questions and gave an overall picture of Swedish history with interesting facts. He was informative of all the buildings, laid back manner and extremely pleasant. Highly recommend
Alice was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable and careful to ensure everyone was involved and included.
A quick, but fun tour of old Stockholm. The meeting point needs a serious facelift, and we got merged with non- English speaking small group, but in the end we learned cool facts, and the guide Pedro was easygoing and humorous.
Alice was very engaging and knowledgeable. She had superb English and Italian fluency. She was a great communicator about logistics of the meeting point and final location. The timing of the conclusion of the tour lined up perfectly with the changing of the guard at the Royal Palace. We walked approximately 2 miles over the course of 2 hours. The pace was comfortable. The pedestrian streets do have cobblestone, some streets incline or decline, and we did take a set of stairs (which was a very interesting point during the tour!) but nothing unexpected. I would highly recommend this tour!
We never we able to take this tour. The email from Viator had a link to the starting point, which took us with Google Maps to the Royal Palace, inside a guarded area. We opened the link again in Apple Maps, which took us to a statue next to the palace. We connected on WhatsApp with our guide, Jan, and after a series of attempts to find him he suggested we get a refund, which we have requested.
Had a lovely time on my tour with Leonardo. Leonardo is a very knowledgeable and charismatic host, making for a wonderful experience
I had great a experience and there were really good explanations
It was a great tour! Covered all the important sites in Gamla Stan and there were many interesting facts!
Tour was lovely! It was extremely helpful for us to gain our bearings before the rest of our trip! We would 100% recommend it.
It was a very interesting and exciting experience! I would book this hotel again! Stockholm is a beautiful city.
Informative walk in the old town, pedro was very knowledgable and informative and clearly very interested in the history of Gamlastan and Sweden
Daniela was very informative and passionate about the History of Stockholm. I was only in town for one day and this was the only tour I did. I enjoyed the tour so much I want to revisit the city and see more of Daniela's recommendations. Her knowledge made me interested to learn more about the CIty's history. Highly recommended.
This tour was a great introduction to Stockholm on our first day in town! Our tour guide was informative without being dull or tedious and lingering on things people weren't interested in. We appreciated her focus on legends, pop culture, and other digestible details instead of rattling off historical names and dates. She even brought us to the smallest alley in Europe for a photo op!
Cali he was absolutely amazing. Did such a great tour of Stockholm, was so incredibly informative, was super interesting and knew so much about the area. Gave us some great recommendations and really friendly!! Would absolutely recommend
Great tour around the old town! Our guide Caoimhe shared many details! Really nice experience! Thank you 🙏🏼 we can recommend
Kudos go to our tour guide, Daniela, who went above and beyond for us. Unfortunately, one of her colleagues had called in sick only 2 hours before the tour was to begin, so Daniela had to undertake 2 groups, 1 German & 1 English, and she managed both very well. On top of all that, because my wife & I arrived late due to a mix-up with our driver, she had to direct her attention to advising us as to how to find her. In the end, she found us! Daniela demonstrated a wealth of knowledge with regard to the history of the area -- its buildings -- its stories --- its legends -- its people -- all told with a sense of humour. Moreover, even though English is not her first language, Daniela was easily understood, and the 2 hours we spent with her went far too quickly. At several points during our walk together, she made recommendations as to places to eat or places to purchase certain things -- helpful to us for returning to these places at a later time. I would be very happy if, upon a return visit to Stockholm, we could have the good fortune of having Daniela as a tour guide once again. Daniela, I am now safely back in Canada. Thank you so much for the contribution you made to a most enjoyable time in Stockholm. With my very best wishes, John.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and took us all over the Old Town pointing out restaurants and telling amusing stories connected to what we were being shown. She even went over the allotted 2hrs. Many thanks.
Awesome must see and visit place Right price and enjoyable Awesome must-see and visit place. Right price and enjoyable knowledgeable guide.
Our guide Fleur was great! My husband and I were the only ones to attend so we got lucky and had a private tour with her! She guided us around Gamla Stan, passing through the German part, the Royal Palace and the small alleys, while telling us interesting and fun anecdotes ☺️ we enjoyed it a lot and definitely recommend it!
This was our guide's first time leading the walking tour of Gamla Stan. A young Irish woman with a longstanding attachment to Sweden, she had a wealth of knowledge about the history, architecture, and culture of this neighbourhood. Her infectious enthusiasm, great sense of humour, and Irish accent made this excellent tour an unforgettable experience.
Very interesting tour to learn about Gamla Stan. Our guide was fairly new, as she told us, but she did a nice job showing us around, answering our questions and pointing out things for the next day to help us.
Daniela was very informative and she paced the walking tour very well. She was knowledgeable and friendly.
The guide was very informative and had an excellent manner. She was also able to accommodate us on the day and time we wanted.
The meeting location was on clear and I never met up with the tour operator. I've always had very good luck with Viator so I'm very disappointed
Tour was ok. Started late, ended a bit early. Guide’s voice was soft, walked really fast. Other than that, it was a good tour of Gamla Stan.
i will talk just about negative points: -no music -we couldn’t hear the guide talking about the sceneries and information from the back of the ship
It was very interesting, we have learnt a lot about Stockholm and Sweden history ! The guide was very nice, it was very clear.
The guide didn’t show up. After a phone call to advise, we’re told to join Italian speaking group. Guide was lovely but d flush was not good. Stood around whilst she spoke in Italian then they stood around whilst talking to us. 50 mins in had only done 2 stops on tour. We pulled out - wasn’t the experience we wanted & wasn’t fair on Italian group. Still awaiting refund……..
Therese was a wonderful tour guide - very knowledgeable about both the more popular and niche sites in the city. She was able to answer every question expertly. Would recommend.
Great tour around the old town of Stockholm! Teresa was very nice and had great fun facts about the city. She also speaks spanish.
