Despite a cold and rainy...

alsnjm, May 2026

Despite a cold and rainy day, Cristhian gave an excellent tour. We learned not just about the history of Stockholm but also some cultural, linguistic and technological aspects of the city/country. After the tour, we needed fika and he guided us to a great place in the area.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for the great review! Cold and rain couldn't get in the way, and it's great that the tour gave you more than the history alone; a bit of the language, the culture, and how the city works. And fika after a rainy walk is a must.

Really enjoyable tour

We had an excellent guide Christian from Ecuador, he had a very well structured brief, there was a nice flow and tempo to his brief. Overall the group really enjoyed the tour and found the information pitched at the right level.

Enjoyable walk

Peter_B, Sep 2024

Our guide gave us a good overview of Stockholm - where to shop, which museums to see. We heard interesting stories and history about the city. It was an enjoyable walk. I wish the group size was smaller. The walk was not a difficult one.

Excellent tour

Cristian makes it very easy and enjoyable; you have fun while he tells you a part of the city's great history. It's as if he were telling you a story and personalizing it. Simply brilliant!

¡Mil gracias por la reseña! Nos encanta que el recorrido se sintiera así, como un cuento que se va personalizando por el camino. Esa es justo la idea: contar la historia de la ciudad de una forma cercana y entretenida. Nos alegra que lo disfrutaras tanto.
