Very knowledgeable tour guide... - The tour was excellent. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and helpful every step of the way. The smaller group made it special. She was very soft spoken, so a microphone would have made the tour a little better; however, overall it was great!

Enjoyable walking tour - great way to see the old city! - We had a wonderful time on our walking tour of Stockholm! We personally really enjoyed the pace of the tour, as well as the group size. It was extremely informative and our tour guide Bengt was so incredibly sweet! He was a truly lovely guy, always happy to take pictures and full of knowledge and a great sense of humor. He is truly what made the tour special and I would recommend doing this tour with him to anyone.

Too much too see - Natalie moves very quickly and shares lots of information. Walking in old town is hard on legs. Cool place to visit. Need more time to do Vasa museum.
