Adam, our guide was very... - Adam, our guide was very friendly and had a lot of insight to the city. It was nice that we were the only ones in the group and it felt very personalized. It felt like we got to know Adam and his knowledge of Stockholm. Not sure this tour is for everyone as we felt like we were talking to a friend on a walk through the city.

Good walking tour of Old Town Stockholm - The tour was solid and we enjoyed walking around Old Town. Our guide, Nadia, was still fairly new and while she knew the tour, she will benefit from a wider knowledge of Stockholm's history at some point. But, as always, we got a good tour and learned a lot about Stockholm's Old Town and its history.

Old town tour - We met Adam at the chestnut tree . We got lost and deeply appreciate him coming back to find us . My sincere comment is his knowledge was very basic . A tour guide should be more knowledgeable.

Tour guide did not show up - Tour guide never showed up. We arrived at the meeting point promptly at 6pm and the tour guide was not there. We waited 1 hour and still no guide. There was also no contact by guide.

Tour guide no show - Our tour guide did not show. Some other guide who happened to be there and could not find his party arranged on the fly to take us on the walking tour instead which was very nice of him, except that his tour was terrible. We meandered around old town and he told us some random facts and things but was not very coherent and seemed more interested in just chatting about life. We did not get much out of this tour I'm sorry to say.
