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.
