Great tour of Gamla Stan...

Great tour of Gamla Stan with focus on local favorites. Met under the 200-year-old chestnut tree. We were early and so was our guide which resulted in some extra time on our tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and took great care of us. Afterwards had dinner at Under Kastanjen Bistro which was not only convenient but also delicious and delightful.
