Our fabulously knowledgeable guide took us through the cobblestone streets of old town. tips 1. ask questions, 2. check the weather that morning 3. good shoes (cobblestones are brutal if you are not prepared) 4. public bathrooms are not along the route so keep a 10kr coin to use the one at the palace gift shop if you need a break, just inform your guide.

We were really lucky to have Alicia as our guide - she was knowledgeable and fun, so the tour wasn't just about historical facts. The tour covered the likes of Nobel Museum and important churches, as well as less known places like the statue of the Iron Boy. Alicia gave us insight into the history of Stockholm/Sweden as well as some fun bits that made us laugh. I thoroughly enjoyed the 90 mins tour - very much recommendable!

Kevin was the most fantastic guide. Not only does he really know a lot about Stockholm (and clearly loves the place), he has that rare gift of being able to really communicate that information - and enthusiasm - in a brilliant and entertaining way. Can’t recommend this tour highly enough.
