I really liked this full day tour. Magnus was an amazing tour guide. We had a walk through many places of Stockholm, both hidden gems and known touristic places, each having their own part of the history. I liked learning about how places looked like throughout the history and how everything changed until today. It was awesome as well since it was a sunny autumn day and we could see as much as possible of the city by foot.

Magnus was an amazing tour guide. We took a great walk covering all possible places full of history even though they might be some hidden gems of Stockholm that many don’t know about. As we rested for a bit for lunch and had coffee breaks it was great to learn about Swedish life, get recommendations about Stockholm sights as well as recommendations about travelling to other places in the world.
