5.00Absolutely fantastic guided tour. We had pleasure to get the guide Emma. She was really super, what immersion and enthusiasm in her guiding. We had booked a private tour during the daytime. Everyone who participated thought this was fantastic and educational luck. Clearly 5 stars out of 5

4.00Nice and easygoing tour. Suitable for children aged 10-12. The guide quite well read. Slightly overpriced in relation to the length of the tour but it is well on the other hand the whole old town
Spooky Fun on the Bloody Stockholm Tour

5.00I love a spooky tour, and our guide, Jonathan, was fabulous! Jonathan was so knowledgeable. I especially loved the dark folklore and his tales of life in the middle ages. I would highly recommend Jonathan and this tour. One in our group doesn't like scary things. But she ended up loving the tour!
Extremely knowledgeable guide

4.00We had a fun time being led through the streets of Galma Stan, with tales of the darker parts of history. It wasn’t a ghost tour, but more of an informative stroll. The stories were entertaining. Crazy how you can walk down a charming alley, with no idea of what happened 100s of years ago in that very same spot.
Very Very Enjoyable experience.

5.00Ossa (apologies, I don't have the Swedish character for her name. ) was a fantastic guide. Knowledgable and engaging she took us through gamal stan and all of it's gruesome history and secrets. Would thoroughly recommend this if you are interested either in the ghostly or history. Thank you Ossa !!!
Great Time!!!!!!!

5.00This was so much fun! I really recommend it! We learned a lot about the history of the area that we would not have known otherwise!
Amazing!

5.00This was a highlight of our trip. Stockholm and Gamla Stan are gorgeous but especially if you can also learn the history and yes, the spooky side too! Jonathon was so very knowledgeable about all things ancient, haunted and thrilling. We loved it and him! Can’t wait to come back and book another longer tour with him in the future. You will not regret doing this tour, only that it ends!
Great Trip

5.00Would highly recommend this trip! Äsa was very knowledgeable. Walked at a steady pace so wasn’t to strenuous, would recommend to all.
Great tour for the darker side of history that we do not always hear about.

5.00We did several tours during our two week vacation and this was by far my daughter's favorite (she is 24). Death, murder, executions, plots, everything you never hear about when visiting a place. Very interesting and our guide knew all the dirty details about the darker history of Stockholm. Excellent tour if you like to learn the darker side of history. We also got a wealth of information about Stockholm history in addition to the dark side.
