Excellent Guide

5.00We wanted to book a guided tour downtown Stockholm just for the two of us or a small group, not langer than 5-6, but didn't manage on our own, so we accepted our hotel"s offer to do it for us ... and were quite disappointed when we met a group of 20+ ... but then our guide Ben did such an excellent job that we were really happy to follow him, and the langer group was no problem at all. He spoke a clear British English, interacted with the group, was very knowledgeable about Swedish history, it was simply fun and exciting listening to him. I would have given him 6 stars, but viator let me give only 5.
Fab Guide, really interesting tour

5.00It was so informative and I loved looking around the neighbouring islands. Josephine was especially funny and super witty with her jokes, it was akin to having a really good audio guide while looking around. Would definitely do this again

5.00Marta was such an excellent tour guide. Her colleague had gone sick that day so she single handed-ly led a huge group of us through Stockholm old town, packing the tour full of information, humour, charm and knowledge. Thank you, such value for money.

5.00We had a wonderful time on the Gamla Stan (Old Town) tour with Nordic Tours! The walk through Stockholm’s Old Town was beautiful and full of interesting stories. Our guide, Marta, was fantastic. As a history student, she was incredibly knowledgeable, but also very friendly and easy to listen to. She shared fascinating facts, answered all our questions, and made the history feel fun and alive. Highly recommend this tourand especially Marta if you’re visiting Stockholm. A great experience all around! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Scilla gives a great tour

5.00We had a great tour with Scilla a couple of weeks ago. We were only a group of three that day because January in Stockholm isn't exactly high tourist season :) Scilla kept us engaged despite the frigid temperatures and we thoroughly enjoyed the mix of history, current culture, and local perspective she was able to provide (she grew up in Stockholm and we've done enough of these tours across Europe to know what a difference it makes when a true local leads them). We had a great time walking around with her and then enjoying a little fika together afterwards! Oh, we also really enjoyed checking out the annual gingerbread house competition Scilla told us about that was in its last days on display at one of the art museums. Never would've known about it if she hadn't told us!
