Our 2.5 hour walking tour... - Our 2.5 hour walking tour of Old Town was one of the best tours I have been on, and that's because our tour guide GYA was beyond amazing. The weather was cold and rainy but honestly, none of that really mattered as Gya was so knowledgeable and upbeat and her delivery of information was so easy to enjoy for anyone's interests. I would highly suggest this tour on the first morning of your trip to get a nice background understanding of the city.

Sophie was A+ - I tend to do a walking tour when I arrive at a new city. This one was one of the best. I so enjoyed the digestible history of Stockholm delivered by Sophie. The length of the tour and the sites we visited was perfect. Recommend.
