Anna was knowledgeable and did an excellent job. This is a must do tour. The time goes by quickly and we had a stop a candy shop that had the best hot chocolate.
Good trip. Time flew by. Olivia is a good tour guide
If you’re doing this during the winter or fall, I recommend bringing lots of layers. The tour guide Paula was super knowledgeable.
The experiencia tour was great and the tour guy Rufus explain all clear.
This is a wonderful city and our tour guide was excellent We had excellent tour that discussed not only the sites, but the history behind them.
Great introduction to the history of stockholm nice slow pace and not an overload of information. Can recommend
Anna, our Swedish guide, made the tour a perfect event. Faultless English and a huge bank of interesting history and general knowledge.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and we saw a lot of different sites. She also gave great recommendations of other things we should see in the city.
It was raining and this experience was still awesome. Our guide (she is originally from Seattle) was awesome, knowledgeable, friendly and fun. Learned so much and saw so much!
A very educational and entertaining tour! It was great to learn the history of Stockholm and a bit about its current government. Our guide was knowledgable and personable. We highly recommend it!
Anna was an incredible guide. A wealth of knowledge with some humor mixed in. Energetic and outgoing.
Paula is an amazing tour guide with lots of knowledge, learned many things and had a great time!
Interactive and so informative! I was worried about a 2.5hr tour while It was cold out. We kept moving and it actually went by rather quickly. I totally recommend this tour, we saw parts of Gamla Stan that we would never have found. I especially loved the stories behind the statues. Luve (sp?) was a wonderful guide!
Lova, did a great job, she was extremely professional, charming, informative and punctual. I would highly recommend that visitors to Stockholm take the Old Town walking tour. The only down side would be for people with mobility issues, they may have a hard time walking on the historic cobblestone streets.
Great walking tour through Gamla Stan. Tour guide was knowledgeable of the area and enthusiastic. Recommend for getting to know parts of the town!
Excellent tour walking tour of the Old Town with Paula. She was informative, professional, knowledgeable and very friendly. An A+ as guides go. Really appreciated her knowledge and fun & interesting facts along the way.
Rufus was a fantastic guide and it was an amazing tour. A lot of information but always with a hint of humour. It made us litsten to Rufus explaining the history with a lot of interest. It did not get boring at all. I think, it´s great for couples, family trip etc. Actually any constellation. I wouldn´t do the tour with smaller kids, because it´s not for them.
This is a terrific walking tour covering lots of the history and historic sites in Stockholm. Very interesting and informative.
Our guide Lova was wonderful! Friendly, knowledgeable and had much to share as we made our way around the old town. Really helped us with an overview of Stockholm and provided ideas about how to prioritize the rest of our visit. Highly recommend this tour and Lova in particular.
Very good tour guide. Nice size group, about 12 of us, so easy to hear and keep engaged. Would have liked to have entered some of the buildings such as the churches that should be open. Or have recommendations of which buildings are best to visit.
Zoe was an excellent guide. She was funny, engaging, thorough but kept the tour moving and knows history of Stockholm very well. I would recommend this tour to first time visitors.
Great tour. Lova was super knowledgeable and friendly. Loved it Ava inspired the rest of our Stockholm adventures. Highly recommend
Amazing. Lova was 10++. Extremely knowledgeable and warm and friendly. We learned so much, and she was even willing to stay after the tour to answer questions. Highly recommend.
Brilliant walking tour. Lova, our guide was so enthusiastic & knowledgeable and really brought the tour to life. Small group of 15 so it was easy to hear & to ask questions. A fantastic way to learn about some of Sweden's history. Can highly recommend this tour
Great education if the area and fantastic guide in Lova. Added bonus of the parade with Horses for the new parliament at time of the tour

Good coverage of old town. Shared enough details at every POI. The guide did a good job covering all the facts but storytelling can be more engaging.
Very interesting tour of Gamla Stan (old city). Our tour guide (Josefine) was excellent - extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
Two and a half hour walking tour of old town guide was interesting and knowledgeable did this tour on our first morning it helped us plan our next 3 days
Lovely walk around the older part of town; lots of great information. Very helpful to have an umbrella if there is possible rain in the forecast, even if there is not, the weather can change quickly this time of year.
Lisa was so informative and was a blast to be on the tour with. Got to see the parts of Stockholm I wanted to in a short amount of time. Perfect if you have limited time in the city.
Silvia was an amazing guide. Knowledgeable not only in Stockholm host but also in facts regarding Sweden!
A wet start to the tour but well managed by our guide. Nice small group of 10 people always makes the experience all the better - well worth the cost. Plenty of stops and introductions to the places you would easily miss by yourselves.
Really great tour, can highly recommend if you want to see the main sights of Gamla Stan and learn about the history of Stockholm! Our guide Zoë was passionate, knowledgeable and funny - she made this tour into our top 5 free walking tours in Europe :)
Loved it! So educational and easy. Great tour guide, central locations and gave us additional tips!!
Josefine was an excellent guide who entertained us for 2.5 hours with lots of historical and local commentary in an entertaining fashion. Her English was excellent. She offered good suggestions of things we could do on our own while in Stockholm. The rainbow umbrella was easy to locate and follow.
Had a great experience with Piotr. He was a great guide and shared valuable insights about the architecture of the different buildings. Very nice tour of gamla Stan.

Sebastian was a very well-informed and interesting guide with a great itinerary. He covered every aspect of Swedish life and society and linked that to the places we visited.
Awesome walking tour. This is our first time in Sweden and we love to get our feet on the ground at the start of a trip. Tons of history and interesting stops. Sebastian was an incredible guide. He was friendly, engaging and full of great recommendations. Absolutely worth the price. Our group was small enough to stay intimate and tour took about 3 hours. I absolutely recommend!
