Great tour of Gamla Stan with focus on local favorites. Met under the 200-year-old chestnut tree. We were early and so was our guide which resulted in some extra time on our tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and took great care of us. Afterwards had dinner at Under Kastanjen Bistro which was not only convenient but also delicious and delightful.

We had an amazing tour with our very friendly and knowledgeable guide Adam. He was perfect and helped us get to know the area and its history.

We had a great experience with the young guide. Though I had some difficulties in walking he graciously adjusted the tour to cover the most attractive and the important items. There are a good number of things to see. He also explained the history behind each monuments and structures. I would recommend this tour though I was not sure that it was a walking tour.

The Old Town tour of Stockholm was shorter than expected, ending about 40 minutes early, and the guide focused more on chatting with us than sharing the city’s history. We had hoped for a bit more of a guided experience.

Our tour guide Adam did a great job explaining the fascinating history of Old Town Stockholm as well as a great variety of all of the sights of Old Town. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

We met Adam at the chestnut tree . We got lost and deeply appreciate him coming back to find us . My sincere comment is his knowledge was very basic . A tour guide should be more knowledgeable.

Adam, our guide was very friendly and had a lot of insight to the city. It was nice that we were the only ones in the group and it felt very personalized. It felt like we got to know Adam and his knowledge of Stockholm. Not sure this tour is for everyone as we felt like we were talking to a friend on a walk through the city.
