Excellent Taste of Stockholm - Excellent tour. We were a group of 15 (Danish, American, Australian). Mainly middle aged plus my 18 year old daughter. Guide was called Katan (sp?). He was both informative and entertaining. I thought the program and food choice was excellent. Don't think I'll ever be eating the explosive laced licorice or the moose heart charcuterie any time soon, although I was glad to try it. We ended the tour at a beautiful cafe in the historic part of Stockholm, in a private dining room that had been laid out with candles and proper table ware and we all enjoyed a pastry and some coffee and water. Would highly highly recommend this tour and the guide. 10/10. It was the best thing we did in Stockholm.

Must do trip in Stockholm. - Excellent tour de force of all types of Swedish gastronomy from reindeer, mouse, bear, multiple types of sea food, meat balls, licorice related candy, and coffee with cinnamon bun. Thoroughly enjoyed the food trip that was expertly conducted by Valentina.

A great way to “eat through Stockholm” - Koton (spelling?) was an amazing guide. He provided a lot of great background info about the various dishes. I really enjoyed this tour and would definitely recommend. A great introduction to Stockholm and Swedish cuisine.

Girls trip to Stockholm - We did the food tour on 5/21. Our tour guide was fun and informative. Tour was accommodating of our gluten free needs and we were able to eat most things. We enjoyed the walks to the 3 different locations as our guide stopped to point out historical and cultural relevance of many Stockholm landmarks. We also got a great layout of how the different areas are connected. Not sure I would have tried reindeer or bear if not for the tour, but also enjoyed the other Swedish dishes. Would recommend.

Enjoyable - Tour guide showed ahead of time, and we started right on time... Had quite a few tastings and enjoyed all of it... The walk was great (if you enjoy walking) and ended at old town... Compared to what was advertised it lasted about 2 hrs 45 mins compared to the 4 hrs ; but our group didn't ask a lot of questions so after each tasting we kind of just moved to the next one... Our guide was very knowledgeable and good sense of humor... I recommend it to get a taste of Sweden if not familiar with it.

A good sampling of Swedish cuisine - The tour gave a very good sampling of Swedish cuisine. Our guide was unfortunately quite soft-spoken and, when prompted, he would provide information but overall, somewhat sparse on info. Our tour was supposed to last four hours but ended abruptly at three hours and 15 minutes when the tour guide left. I've taken a lot of tours, and unfortunately, this particular tour guide was not as well-suited to give a proper tour. That being said, we really did enjoy the experience overall, and met a lot of good people and sampled some excellent Swedish cuisine so it was not a loss. I've just had much more dynamic tour guides than this particular experience. It may have been better if we were equipped with listening devices to be able to capture the experience a little more robustly. And a bit more enthusiasm on the part of the guide would have been appreciated.

Yum! - We had a great time and our guide Cotton was very good but at times it was difficult to hear. He not only gave us food info but Swedish & Stockholm info too.

Just ok - Good variety of food sampled with more walking than anticipated. However, I wouldn’t recommend this tour to someone that has a food allergy. They tried to be accommodating, but there was an oversight with ingredients and we had an exposure.
