Great fun and good guide, however at the end of the tour we were just told to drop our helmets back into the bin we picked them up from. At this point we felt let down as the helmets are not being cleaned as they are being dropped back into the basket we selected from in the first place, had we known this we would have requested cleaning or hair net !

Our guide, Joel’s, English was excellent. He did a great job explaining and highlighting the top sights of Gamla Stan and the Vasa Musuem.

Our guide Kevin was fantastic and very professional! Well done!

Well organized tour and recommend for short stay travelers.

Very informative and fun after the first 2 minutes
