Unforgettable Gamla Stan: Exclusive Private Walking Tour

The tour guide did not show up. We waited 25 minutes at the designated spot. An hour later they called saying the tour guide had the wrong time and was an hour off. To be fair, they offered to re-book us for a free make-up tour, but we declined. They gave us a full refund.

I do not recommend them and here's the reason. We arrived on a cruise ship that ended in Stockholm and had the day to tour, as flight left early evening. We booked a custom day tour with Time Travel that included a walking tour in the morning followed by a trip to an ancient Viking site on the way to the Airport. So this is 2 reviews in one. Part 1: Walking tour. It began on a bad note, as the driver to meet us was 30 minutes late. He loaded the luggage into the van and said see you later. What the heck? We told him he was to drive us to meet the guide in Old Towne. So he calls his boss and finds out that yes, that was the plan, so we head off....but then did not know where he was going. He could not find the way to Old Towne. I don't know how many times we turned around. 45 mins later we get there. We saw the ship tour buses that left after we departed, had arrived to the square and unloaded. Unacceptable. So we lost an hour, pushing back our time line. The guide for the actual tour was terrific. He was able to turn our sour mood into a good one. Ask for Leopold. Made the history of the city come alive. He leads us back to the square to meet the driver for the afternoon tour. Part 2: Viking Tour. Driver again not there. We wait a few minutes and call his cell. He's 40 mins away making a run for someone else to the airport. You've go to be kidding me. We take a walk, have something to eat and get back to the square with time to spare....but not driver. Now we're pretty ticked off. Call him again. Told he's on the way. Call the boss and get voice mail. We're now bushing 3pm and when he arrives, he acts as if nothing is wrong. He asks where did we want to go for the Viking Tour. We told him forget it, take us to the airport. We loved the walking tour with Leopold and would rate him a 5. But given the poor organization and transportation and missing the Viking tour completely, I give them a 1, so blended, the company rates a 2.

Our guide (Angus) provided an excellent tour. He met us at our hotel in Old Town. He was very knowledgeable and had great insights and information. The tour was a very good value.

Fantastically knowledgeable and committed guide who was both trained historian and archaeologist. Gave a complete picture of how Gamla Stan in Stockholm evolved from the Middle Ages to the present. Way above expectations. Highly recommended.

Super exciting and educational with the guide Jonathan :) Highly recommend to anyone interested in Stockholm's history.

I did not book a private hike, but since I was the only one who wanted to go, it was just the guide and I. So it was a private hike. Went on a lot of small streets in the Old Town, which I didn't know existed.

Interesting and enlightening. Suitable size and some deep dives into interesting medieval phenomena. About 1 hour was just right for us and Jonathan was very knowledgeable in his field. Many new facts and anectotes. Highly recommended
