1.00I booked tour via Trip Advisor, it was expensive tour in comparison to the other available old town tour on Trip Advisor (more than double price). Guide didn’t show. I called agency and they were surprised that I have booking. They sent ad hoc this very nice guy, but I am not even sure he was real guide as he had very simple story: we are here, this is xy and moved on. Scarce history details, just a few facts…We could have more information if we just googled a bit. This guy was really trying and I dont blame him, Agency should have educated him. Very dissapointing experience even though we found Stocholm city center very beautifull.

3.00We ended up with just the two of us on the tour, which was a pleasant surprise. Our guide was personable and knowledgeable. However, the tour lacked any structure or flow. It just felt like we were wandering aimlessly and heard interesting tidbits about the old town. I don’t feel as knowledgeable about Stockholm, as we usually would after one of these tours

1.00Awful, tour guide didn't even bother to show up so didn't get to experience the tour. Waited over 45 mins for the tour guide. Bwing a soli travellwr first time in Stickholm, I found this shocking! Terrible service.

5.00Great tour of Gamla Stan with focus on local favorites. Met under the 200-year-old chestnut tree. We were early and so was our guide which resulted in some extra time on our tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and took great care of us. Afterwards had dinner at Under Kastanjen Bistro which was not only convenient but also delicious and delightful.
Great walking tour of old town Stockholm

1.00Our nightmare started with a delayed plane without any reason.Since we landed too late we were in a hurry to be there on time for the city tour. We had to look for the metro station first and when we found it and arrived successfully in Stockholm Centralen the satnav led us to the starting point of the tour in circles. We never found the starting point of the city tour despite sat nav during our entire stay. A different starting point or a better description of the route to the starting point, e.g. with pictures of neighboring buildings, would be better. Or a description for people arriving by public transport. On the way in the search of the starting point we met 2 tour groups of city tours but none was ours. We wanted to contact our guide of the city tour but we didn't have an email address or a phone number. Since no one had looked for us and contacted us we have Gamla Stan after that checked ourselves and would therefore have liked our money back ! Ps the contact information of the guide should be completed for such emergency situations
Highly recommend!
