Sofia was an excellent guide, and this tour was super interesting! We stopped at so many places throughout Gamla Stan and I learned unique tid bits of history that I wouldn’t have learned otherwise. Sofia was knowledgeable and friendly and spoke very good English. Definitely recommend this tour, you won’t regret it!

It was very informative and my guide Sophia (originally from Argentina) was well versed in the history, was very clear and also had a sense of humour, it was time well spent learnt a lot about Swedish history and Gamla Stan, it was a cold windy day but still enjoyable highly recommend Sophia

Sofia was a very nice and friendly guide. She told the story of Sweden so realistic that we some momentsleutel thought we were live in the 16th century. Dispide the show, her story did not change. So much respect!!! Also we liked the interaction of asking questions to us.
