Gaia was awesome

5.00Great tour with Gaia on Good Friday. Gaia was full of fun facts and was extremely knowledgeable about the city. Gaia spoke perfect English which made it super easy to understand the history of the city and wider Sweden. On top of this Gaia was really funny (and loud) so even the chilly weather did not distract from the enjoyment. We even got to see Gaia again on our Sodermalm tour on the Saturday. Thank you Gaia.
Well worth it. Friendly and informative.

5.00Katherine was our guide and she is enthusiastic about the Old Town and the history of Stockholm. Her enthusiasm and bright manner is infections, so much so that despite the freezing weather and constant rain, we all followed her eagerly. It is well worth your time especially the great views you can see from the higher level, the winding streets and the architecture.

5.00Superb. Fun and interesting. Dante nailed it. Helps when it’s sunny but a warm coat should suffice if not.
A fine choice for a free walking tour.

4.00We enjoyed our Rainbow walking tour with Dante. The size of the group was not large. Rainbow Tours did a great job of having multiple guides at the meeting location and dividing up the groups to keep the size of each group reasonable. The presentation was mostly interesting, but not as good as some other tours we have taken in other cities. The information regarding restaurants that was given after the tour was not very useful - it seemed to rely on Google Maps' list of restaurants in the area.
Fun Spring break idea
