5.00Peter was absolutely amazing. As a retired historian who worked at the Vasa museum we felt like we had an unparalleled historical tour off Stockholm. He was so polite well prepared with pictures and historical references. the tour also starts before all the tourists are out so it very peaceful. An absolute must we were blown away with this tour.
