Une merveilleuse visite de Stockholm avec notre guide Katerine, qui parlait un français impeccable et qui a une culture historique passionnante. Sa gentillesse et sa disponibilité nous ont permis de passer une excellent moment dans la vieille ville. Nous n’aurions pas appris autant de chose en autonomie. Merci Katerine pour ce très bon moment.

Die Gruppe hatte eine sehr angenehme Größe (insg. 9 Personen + Guide). Der Guide war herzlich und hat uns viele interessante Information zu Gamla Stan gegeben (auch Nebenstraßen und „versteckte“ Spots wurden gezeigt). Zudem konnten Fragen gestellt werden.

As an European Team, we booked this city tour in English for a group of 8. The guide is a very sympatic Swedish woman who is well-informed about the city of Stockholm and the history. We started at 4 in the afternoon, perfect time to enjoy the lovely Christmas nights illuminating the streets and places. Thanks again for the great tour and all the interesting insights.
