Awesome tour with Sofia - I did the tour with Sofia and she was the best tour guide ever. Not only did she know a lot and answered our questions but she was also funny. Highly recommended

A Tour to Remember (Even if I Forgot His Name!!) - Our guide—a cheerful Polish guy who’s been living in Sweden for the last 10 years (sorry, I forgot his name, but I promise it’s not because he was forgettable!)—was absolutely fantastic. He brought along a great sense of humor and managed to make history fun, which is no small feat. Not a single dull moment—unless you count the time I briefly zoned out thinking about Swedish Fikas. Thanks for an unforgettable tour—we laughed, we learned, and we didn’t get lost in Stockholm. Win-win!

Must do in Stockholm - Sofía was amazing. She single handled a group of +40 people and made it feel like we were the only couple in there. She is very knowledgeable and share incredible facts about the Old Town and Sweden in general. I highly recommend you to take a tour with her!

Interesting history and overview of Gamla Stan - Our guide was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun! Even though we had a large group, we had no problem hearing her. She pointed out lots of little details about what we were seeing and about Swedish history that isn’t included in the guidebooks.

Too big a group and no radios - This was a mediocre tour. It had at least 30 participants, which is very high for an urban walking tour. Yet, no radios were used. It was almost impossible to hear the guide. We finally gave up trying to stay engaged and broke away from the group. I do not recommend this tour.
