Without a doubt, this was... - Without a doubt, this was the best city tour that I have ever taken. Asa was an amazing guide with a seemingly limitless knowledge and understanding of the history of Stockholm. She is extremely engaging and interesting. She was warm and welcoming and treated us as if we were family. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Super! - The guide was super. Very knowledgeable and answered all questions. However, it was a bit cold in the morning so recommend to do the tour when it is a bit warmer.

An informative fast paced tour of Stockholm history - We had a rough start to the tour when the instructions said to meet at the “anchor” at the Vasa Museum but there in fact there were anchors in 2 locations. One in front and a 2nd on the dockside behind the museum. We arrived early to the front of the museum via the dockside path. We did not see an anchor in front so we went to the dockside location. We waited for 15 minutes after the appointment time & returned to the front where we saw our guide Emma by the other anchor which was only partially visible at the museum entrance. This was frustrating but Emma apologized for the confusion and the tour began. The Vasa Museum was amazing and she gave us a real feel for the Vasa’s history & background at a rather fast pace. From there we proceeded to the ferry and Old Town. I was apprehensive about this portion of the tour but Emma took us to numerous points of interest with very thorough & interesting explanations. She was a very fast walker which challenged us but it meant we were able to see more points. Due to the delayed start Emma continued the tour as compensation which we appreciated.

This tour was fine. It... - This tour was fine. It really didn't cover a whole lot of ground per se, just a lot of standing around, so I do wish that it had covered more. More than a few minutes with a guide at Vasa was too much, really just need an overview, then time to discover Vasa on your own. I would not start with Vasa, you'll want to spend more time there.

4 PM Tour does not give you enough time to experience the Vasa Miseum - The 4:00 pm tour does not give you enough time to see the Vasa museum. On top of not having enough time scheduled for the museum, we lost 15 additional minutes waiting for 4 people that never showed up. The museum piece was very rushed and disappointing. The rest of the tour was informative and our guide Nicholas took us to some out of the way places.
