3.00Noel was nice enough but really didn’t seem to know too much. Wasn’t really able to answer even basic questions about what he was showing us. Didn’t offer any pictures of what things looked like inside or in the past like other guides we’ve had. Also, finished 30 minutes early. He’s a nice kid just not very informed or seemingly curious about his surroundings.

1.00The tour guide was a no-show! Followed by no reply to phone calls or the 'chat box', not even to an email, at least so far. A very disappointing & costly start to our week in Sweden.
Great Guide and Great Tour!

5.00Very nice tour and pleasant guide! Like a private tour, very informative and great intro to beautiful Stockholm. It was like walking with a friend! We decided to do a boat tour from the same company afterwards, "Sightseeing Ride" which was both environmentally sustainable and had a premium feeling!
