Stefan is extremely knowledgeable and a master storyteller. He planned an interesting itinerary, and he had much to share about culture, history, environment and geography. He is also personable and gracious.
Highly recommend.

Wonderful experience with Zenid. He was very knowledgeable and informative.He knew so much about so many different topics. He should actually be on Jeopardy one day. He was also very personable and kind. He made great recommendations which we followed and enjoyed. Highly recommend him again and again!!!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
So glad to hear you had such a wonderful experience with Zenid — it’s great that his knowledge, warmth, and thoughtful recommendations made the tour so memorable!
Karen_B, Jun 2025
We had the immense pleasure of spending 2 hours with Zenid exploring the hidden gems of Gamla Stan. His English is perfect and he provided interesting stories in perfectly sized doses that left us entertained and educated. He pointed out many things along our walk that now seem obvious but were completely not noticed or overlooked before our tour. We loved this tour and highly recommend it- if Zenid is your guide you’re truly blessed! Thanks Zenid- as I mentioned to him I travel blog. I shared so many things I learned and my followers also said “thanks Zenid!”
Response from Host, Jun 2025
What an absolutely heartwarming review—thank you so much! It’s wonderful to hear that Zenid brought Gamla Stan to life with his thoughtful storytelling and keen eye for detail. We’re especially touched to know his impact reached beyond your tour to your travel blog community. "Thanks Zenid!" indeed!

Fayez was an excellent guide! He knows Stockholm very well, and the time passes by quickly, he knows the right spots that most tourists skip. He also adjusted the programme, as there were places that I had already seen. Also very funny as well! 4h may seem much but actually aren't, Stockholm is a big city. Highly recommended!
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear that Fayez's deep knowledge of Stockholm and his flexibility made your tour enjoyable and tailored to your interests. It's great to know that his humor added to the fun as well! Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to see you on another adventure in the future!

We had the most wonderful morning walking with Sari! She was informative and flexible and shared stories that appealed to our entire family. We appreciated her flexibility and suggestions of what to see, where to eat, and which attractions to visit based on our interests. It was the best introduction to our stay in Stockholm!
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you for sharing your delightful experience with Sari! We're thrilled to hear that she provided such a wonderful introduction to Stockholm for your family. If you ever find yourselves back in the area, don't hesitate to reach out for more unforgettable adventures!
Kristen_A, Oct 2023
Our tour guide Monika was amazing! She knew everything about Stockholm’s history, culture and arts. She guided us all throughout the different parts of Stockholm and gave us suggestions for more exploring the following day. I would highly recommend this private tour to anyone who wants to see a lot of Stockholm in a short amount of time.
Robert_M, Sep 2023
Walking through the Old Town with our wonderful guide. We were able to hit the highlights of the city, enough to grasp its outlines and its history.
Mandy_B, Aug 2023
Magnus was a very personable guide, he was a true local sharing his stories of growing up in central Stockholm. We shaw some wonderful sights and learnt alot of history and he also had many old photos to share with us. It was a great day out. Thanks Magnus we will certainly recommend you.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
A big thank you from Magnus and the City Unscripted team for your uplifting review. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again soon in one of our destinations!
Kendal_K, Aug 2023
No one showed up for the tour. We woke up earlier and waited until I called the operator. Terrible experience being left waiting, minimally expect a call hours beforehand to cancel.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Hello Kendal,
I understand the frustration of unexpected waiting. We value a smooth experience, especially for eagerly anticipated tours. After investigating, we found the host's absence was due to an oversight – she missed adding the date to her calendar. We take this seriously and are improving our reminder system to avoid such incidents.
Though I can't change what happened, my team and I are dedicated to resolving this. We’ve sent you an email directly to chat about a solution. We hope you'll consider giving us another opportunity in the future.
Best,
Ruslan & the City Unscripted Team

The entire tour was fantastic and Sara was extremely attentive to your needs throughput the tour.
I am not sure why I am required to write more than is necessary to convey my satisfaction with the tour, but again the tour was great and Sara was fantastic.
Bill_T, Jul 2023
Wonderful day with Sara. She communicated well prior to the tour date, to make sure that all of my requests were met. She arrived at my hotel ten minutes early. It was a wonderful day, and I highly recommend this tour.
Mike_B, Jul 2023
Eddine met us in our hotel lobby, and we moved from there. He was knowledgeable and adapted to our interests and showed us parts of the city we had not yet experienced including a couple of food markets. High marks - would always begin a city trip this way.
Norberto_A, May 2023
Stellar.
Eddine was great. He accommodated my tour on a very short notice due to flight delay, very knowledgeable. He makes sure you get the
Most out of this tour. Highly recommend him. Had a fantastic time.
Judith_R, May 2023
Our guide Magnus did an excellent job of providing us with highlights of Stockholm. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic in relating interesting information, stories suggestions for our continuing exploration of Stockholm.
Marvin_D, May 2023
Magnus was an amazing tour guide. Most travelers enjoy tour buses , etc ,but we walked through whole city. We visited the one of the islands in Archipelago. Also, as we walked Magnus provided me with great history and details to know of the city. I enjoyed my time especially just for three days ( weekend getaway) I recommend this tour and tour guide.
ashley_m, Dec 2022
Our tour guide was wonderful! She was so sweet and knowledgeable and took us around the whole city! She even accommodated when I wanted to stop for a coffee.
Bkarlaw2006, Nov 2022
I travel a lot and often book tour guides. Sarah is the best tour guide I ever had! She was very knowledgeable, intelligent and gracious all throughout! I was comfortable with her right away.
I shall strongly recommend your services and that of Sarah to my friends and relatives!
More power!
Mark_V, Nov 2022
Vasa Museum is a must see. Also arriving there by ferry rather than tram was a nice touch. Prior to that a casual walk around the less famous parts of town made for a better understanding of the city.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
It sounds like you had a fantastic time exploring Stockholm! The Vasa Museum is definitely a highlight, and arriving by ferry adds such a unique touch. We're glad you enjoyed the stroll through the city's hidden gems too!
Oliver_V, Sep 2022
Such a great tour! Perfect blend of history, fun facts and hidden gems. Sara was the best! She gave us some recommendations on other places to explore during our week as well as restaurant recommendations that gave us a true local experience. Would definitely recommend again and again. A 2 hour personalized tour is the best way to start your trip in a new city. It lets you orient yourself to the geography (so you don’t feel lost walking around in your own) and it gives you a local perspective.
Donna_B, Sep 2022
We enjoyed everything
She knows a lot and shared it well
If you want to see so much of Stockholm and are willing to walk a lot go for it
Martin_B, Jul 2022
We did a walking tour with Sara and she was a fantastic guide. She showed us the whole city and shared some interesting facts but didn’t overwhelm us. We were travelling with two 17 year old girls so it was great that they remained engaged.
Sara also stopped when we needed some lunch and when we wanted to go into some shops and she still went beyond the allocated time to make sure we saw everything.
We all loved the tour, the tour guide and the city of Stockholm.

Our guide was Pelle and he was knowledgeable of Stockholm / Swedish history and major sites. Pelle was flexible with our schedule and out tour began with a visit to the Central Station to get rapid COVID test. We needed to get tested for COVID and present a negative test prior to reentering the US.
Our tour continued to Gamle Stan, ferry ride, the ABBA Museum, and ended at the Vasa Museum. The Vasa Museum is a must-see. Highlight was visiting a quaint cafe in Gamle Stan and going to have a Fika.
Kennedy_B, Jul 2021
We absolutely loved our tour! Shawn was able to show us so much in the two hours we were with him. I’m so glad we booked!
Response from Host, Jul 2021
Dear Kenned,
I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed your time with Shawn. We always make sure that our hosts have the knowledge to deliver the personalised and fun experience you’re looking for.
Hopefully we’ll meet you again in the future and offer you another 5* experience!
Kind regards,
