Very interesting tour of Gamla Stan (old city). Our tour guide (Josefine) was excellent - extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
Lovely walk around the older part of town; lots of great information. Very helpful to have an umbrella if there is possible rain in the forecast, even if there is not, the weather can change quickly this time of year.
Lisa was so informative and was a blast to be on the tour with. Got to see the parts of Stockholm I wanted to in a short amount of time. Perfect if you have limited time in the city.
Loved it! So educational and easy. Great tour guide, central locations and gave us additional tips!!
Sebastian’s tour was very informative and entertaining. He has excellent knowledge on history and life in Stockholm and a good sense of humour. We enjoyed his company very much and good suggestions on further exploring and eating.

This was a very informative tour of Gamla Stan. Maria was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed it very much.
Rufus was excellent in knowledge and we enjoyed the tour. He gave the opportunity to ask questions often which I liked. Thoroughly recommend this tour and Rufus.
A good way to learn about the history of Sweden. Rufus was a fantastic guide, always ensured time for questions. Full of interesting stories.
Very interesting walking tour of Gamla Stan filled with historical anecdotes. Our tour leader, Josephine, spoke excellent English and delivered her well-rehearsed punchlines with a sense of dry, understated humour which I personally found hilarious. Highly recommended so long as you have the physical stamina to remain standing and walking for 2.5 hours straight.
We did this walking tour on our first full day in Stockholm. It was a great way to see the old town and learn about the history and lots of interesting things about the places we were seeing. Lova is a great guide.
Loved the tour. I cannot remember our guides name but she is an urban planning student and told wonderful stories. Stopped halfway at a candy store which is always a “treat”. Interesting facts. I highly recommend solo or as a group.
Josephine was a fantastic tour guide. She lead us through the Old Town with a great narration of the sights. Really enjoyed the morning.
A fun tour giving lots of background to Stockholm as well as information about the Old Town.
Guide (Viola) was excellent. She engaged very well with everyone and made all the facts interesting.
We came away knowing lots more than we did before the tour, and enjoyed the coffee stop too.
Recommended.
Wear good walking shoes- Cobblestones are not forgiving. I enjoyed going through all the streets and admiring the architecture.
Olivia was our guide. She was friendly and knowledgeable. Olivia answered numerous questions really well.
Had a good time and learned a lot about Sweden and Stockholm. Our tour guide Sylvia was great and very friendly and even offered her umbrella when it rained a little bit.
Our guide, Carlotta, was delightful -- funny, lots of good information. Warning that the tour is more like three hours than two hours.
We had the best walking tour with Lisa who was knowledgeable sweet and funny,
Loved her and rainbow tours
Our family with young adult children enjoyed the in depth tour. Olivia was a great guide and telling us all about Gamla Stan, Stockholm and Sweden. You really need this tour to appreciate Gamla Stan. We also enjoyed the questions from other people in our group.
Really good way to find anecdotes and historical context of the city. A good way to get recommendations too.
A great way to get to know Gamla Stan (the old city of Stockholm). Lova our guide was delightful and entertaining. Breathlessly illuminating the history and stories of the City and the nation of Sweden. Plenty of follow up recommendations were available at the conclusion of the tour as well.
Fabulous walking tour with Johannes this morning! Great combination of history and chat, while wandering the beautiful streets and taking in the sights of Gamla Stan. Johannes really made the tour special - fun, friendly, engaging and knowledgeable 🫶
Our tour was a fascinating, educating and beautiful experience. Our tour guide Sebastian was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He also showed us some of the most beautiful spots in gamla stan and led us through the less crowded areas to see things that really felt special. I highly recommend doing this tour.
Good experience to get the lay of Stockholm. Our tour guide Kyra did a great job and was well versed in all things related to the history there.
