5.00An incredibly talented and knowledgeable guide! So committed and interested in what he was talking about. Great guidance and perfect length of the tour, two hours. Everyone should do this! Thank you Jonathan!
The tour name is misleading

2.00It seems that not much happened in Old Town Stockholm. Based on the name of this tour, we were expecting many interesting, gruesome, intriguing stories. Instead we were told that a body was found between the walls of the palace and they say her ghost still haunts the palace. Campfire stories are better than this. Our guide was nice, but there isn't much to say.
Stockholm, a getaway to recommend! 👍🇸🇪

5.00Very popular Nordic country: we visited the ABBA museum, AVICII, the very typical Skansen park, the Royal Palace, the old town,… we loved it. 😍 We also rented a car to explore the surroundings of Stockholm and the small villages, really great! The people are very smiling and welcoming! We are very satisfied with our trip! 🥰
Friendly, knowledgeable, interesting
