5.00My daughter and I spent half a day exploring Old Town and surrounding areas with Zenid. He was a delight ! From the first text, he was quick to reply and so personable. Zenid gave us lots of insights to the sights, the history and the backstories to what we were seeing.
Great walking tour with Stefan

5.00Great walk with Stefan this morning. We saw a much of stuff in a very short tour, he kept us organized and moving so we got to catch the ship and see more places.
Waste of money and freezing cold

1.00It was too cold to be walking for 4 hours. And the price for a simple walk with someone to point @ buildings was not worth paying 450 €. You could easily wander around by yourself and find the info about sights in a travel guide booklet. The guide was okay to have for company but honestly spending that much time with a stranger felt a bit uncomfortable and we would have preferred having our own fun.
Great experience I would...

5.00Wonderful experience with Zenid. He was very knowledgeable and informative.He knew so much about so many different topics. He should actually be on Jeopardy one day. He was also very personable and kind. He made great recommendations which we followed and enjoyed. Highly recommend him again and again!!!
The Perfect Tour

5.00We had the immense pleasure of spending 2 hours with Zenid exploring the hidden gems of Gamla Stan. His English is perfect and he provided interesting stories in perfectly sized doses that left us entertained and educated. He pointed out many things along our walk that now seem obvious but were completely not noticed or overlooked before our tour. We loved this tour and highly recommend it- if Zenid is your guide you’re truly blessed! Thanks Zenid- as I mentioned to him I travel blog. I shared so many things I learned and my followers also said “thanks Zenid!”

5.00Fayez was an excellent guide! He knows Stockholm very well, and the time passes by quickly, he knows the right spots that most tourists skip. He also adjusted the programme, as there were places that I had already seen. Also very funny as well! 4h may seem much but actually aren't, Stockholm is a big city. Highly recommended!
Best way to see Stockholm for the first time!

5.00We had the most wonderful morning walking with Sari! She was informative and flexible and shared stories that appealed to our entire family. We appreciated her flexibility and suggestions of what to see, where to eat, and which attractions to visit based on our interests. It was the best introduction to our stay in Stockholm!
