Great Orientation Tour - Madke (sp?) was a wonderful guide. Her love and enthusiasm for this beautiful city kept us warm on a cold February day. A great way to start a stay in this historic city.

Scilla gives a great tour - We had a great tour with Scilla a couple of weeks ago. We were only a group of three that day because January in Stockholm isn't exactly high tourist season :) Scilla kept us engaged despite the frigid temperatures and we thoroughly enjoyed the mix of history, current culture, and local perspective she was able to provide (she grew up in Stockholm and we've done enough of these tours across Europe to know what a difference it makes when a true local leads them). We had a great time walking around with her and then enjoying a little fika together afterwards! Oh, we also really enjoyed checking out the annual gingerbread house competition Scilla told us about that was in its last days on display at one of the art museums. Never would've known about it if she hadn't told us!

Well work 2 hours of your day - Very worthwhile walking tour around the Gamla Stan, historical area of Stockholm. Beautiful buildings and vibe going on and all the more enjoyable to hear about the history of the area.

Casual and fun... and educational - Our guide did a great job of talking about history and culture, and was happy to answer questions along the way. Really good value, alot of information and low cost. (we did tip even though this isn't a big thing to do). We really enjoyed that this was casual and easy. We are a bit slow due to our old knees but were able to stay with the group and she was easy to hear. We also liked to understand the history with the town and how it relates to international events (Denmark and others)

Walking tour, Gamla Stan - Very informative, quite detailed yet not boring excursion. We loved our Polish guide Michal. He was very confident, easy-going, attentive, with fantastic sense of humour! The tour itself was well-organised, structured, with good time management. We loved it a lot! Thank you!

Don't Be Late! - We missed our guide by 5 minutes and were unable to reach him/her through TripAdvisor or email, so we walked around Gamla Stan on Christmas Eve making up stories and historical trivia about the buildings and statues we found. It was less factually accurate as the guided tour, but just as pretty.
