    Our guide was able to convey very interesting details. The old town of Stockholm is worth such an intensive visit. There's so much history that you can't understand just by a local man. In our case, it was a nice older gentleman who originally came from Austria. Anytime gladly again!

    Our fabulously knowledgeable guide took us through the cobblestone streets of old town. tips 1. ask questions, 2. check the weather that morning 3. good shoes (cobblestones are brutal if you are not prepared) 4. public bathrooms are not along the route so keep a 10kr coin to use the one at the palace gift shop if you need a break, just inform your guide.

    It was a "private guide" (was just me and my husband who signed up for this particular trip) by a good guy (Josh) who was both knowledgeable and nice. Although we have been to Stockholm several times, we learned a lot about the old town this Saturday. Can really be recommended.
