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.
