5.00This is a very interesting tour of the old town. Our guide - Zoe was very knowledgeable and made the tour very enjoyable. The weather on the day was atrocious and she knew when to stop at a cafe so that we could warm up a bit. We enjoyed the tour so much, we signed up for the Vasa Tour on the next day.
Great tour for your first day
