5.00We tried this tour with our family and were very satisfied. The stories were interesting and easy to understand, so even the kids didn’t get bored. We liked that we could explore at our own pace and stop wherever we wanted. The route covered the main highlights of the city, and the information provided was clear and engaging. It is a great way to discover the city on your own. Highly recommended!

5.00Experience exceeded our expectations. We started at a starting point and then we felt as if walking with a personal guide - the app was automatically playing the right recording at the right time even saying when to turn and what we are passing while walking. Besides stories about persons related to the key highlights like City Town Hall (Alfred Nobel) or Royal Palace (some royal stories from the past and about current royal family), it also told about some values, traditions and showed some small objects we would have just passed through otherwise - like a real authentic rune stone from Viking ages. It ended in a modern district with couple inspiring stories from more recent days.
Grate experience. recommend!
