The local operator was responsive with a comprehensive survey to gauge our interests in advance in great details. They assigned a guide to us right away. This is a walking tour that includes taxi rides to the city center and then back to the port. Our guide, Sari, was also responsive and trying to cover as much as on our wish list. She is knowledgeable and easy to work with. We enjoyed our tour!

This experience was really good! My husband and I have been on a lot of cruises and it's always a bit difficult to make our way around the stopover cities on our own as we don't know all the good places. Our guide Tom was excellent and showed us so much of the city's culture and heritage in a short space of time! He was really patient and welcoming, and was really passionate about his city! Excellent!

Zenid, my tour guide was beyond excellent, if I could give 10 stars I would. He was able to keep the tour moving along and very engaging. He was on time and very receptive to want I wanted to see. He asked me what I wanted to see and told him to show me the city and did an excellent job. I learned a lot about the city of Stockholm and the history of Sweden overall.

Having many hours to kill on my last day, this was a good use of that time. Guide was very nice and we sat and chatted about all sorts whilst having Fika. She also told me some history of Gamla Stan.
