Marcus seemed to genuinely enjoy his city and gave lots of tips about food and drink as well as the historical highlights.

We were supersatisfied with this tour! Marcus was very knowledgeable, easy going and comfortable to be around with. The groups are not so big which is an added value which allowed for a bigger interaction within the group which is part of the experience as well. The historic accounts described in the tour are well thought of and the pace was perfect!

Full description

Highly recommended for 1st timers in Gothenburg, enabling you to decide what to do in the next days with knowledge!

In 2 hours, I will show you the oldest city parts and buildings and their fascinating history as well as the best viewpoints on the city heights. I will point out the best restaurants, bars and shopping streets and other hidden gems during the tour around the old city center.
In total we will stop by 17 sightings.

During the tour I will be glad to answer questions of what to do and see whilst visiting as I was born in Gothenburg and lived there all my life.

At the end of the tour, I will show you my list of recommended restaurants and bars around town.

Includes

  • Guided walking city tour with a local
  • Viewpoints over the city
  • Restaurant and bar tips
  • Suggestions of what do to do and see in the city

Meeting point

This tour was great! Marcus was a great guide and gave us insights to both the historical Gothenburg, but also to the present city. Although I have been to Gothenburg many times, I left this trip with a completely different understanding for the city and it's heritage! We kept talking about the tour long after and really, really loved it.
