2hours well spent - This is a compact and informative tour. Christian our guide was friendly, welcoming and provided us with a detailed tour full of historical facts and anecdotes. His numbers for the tour were low but he still saw it through and never was less than enthusiastic a huge thank you.

This was a great way to spend the morning - The streets are super narrow and all made of old stones, so wear good shoes or your feet will hurt. Our guide told us some crazy stories about ghosts and old kings that lived in the big palace. We saw the smallest statue I ever seen and had a nice coffee with a big cinnamon bun at the end.

A great tour! - Christian was a wonderful guide. We ended up being the only people on this tour and the fact that the company didn’t cancel speaks volumes. Christian had a book full of pictures and k formation. Which enhanced the tour. It was great!

With Christhian again and again - We've already been to Stockholm. But this tour with Christhian was great. Protein very much, not only historically, but also many anectotes from the small. Very nice!
