10/10 tour - Amazing tour, lots of fun facts and a great guide! Not very far and only small tour group. They answered questions well and clearly and would walk at the speed of the group.

Great Walking Tour - The walking trip was outstanding. Very informative and the right amount of time close to 90 or 120 minutes. Our guide Julia was very friendly.

Good tour, lots of room for improvement - The tour was informative and fun but had two issues which stood out. Firstly it was extremely rushed. Not by the walking necessarily. The guide simply rushed throughout the explanations. Though probably inherent to the guide's energy and expressiveness, this made explanations lack time to absorb and sink in. Secondly and veery connected. Fact after fact after fact. No matter how interesting the points were, it was hard to find a very clear connecting story throughout the tour. Could be improved by better storytelling or simply a 5 minutes summary of the historical context and times that will be covered in the tour. Apart from that the tour was enjoyable and a nice experience.

Superficial and entertaining but nice tour guide - We were really looking forward to the tour and the tour guide was very nice and personable. The tour itself seemed very short-lived, the sightseeing stations were always only short stations with superficial information, historically really exciting facts or insider tips or special details were missing for the most part, which then made it a little bland in the end - we have already gone through more intensive tours, which really brings you closer to the city.

massive group of almost 50 people and a barely audible tour guide - There were so many people on the tour... so much for MAX 25 PEOPLE. I quickly counted my group size and it was at least 46+ easily visible people. I had a tour guide with a mic but he barely ever used it. He kept moving his head away from it. It was almost impossible to hear him. He also didn't raise his voice. He would say "can you hear me?" Loudly and then immediately start talking quieter. He also ended every phrase with "um, mhn, yea?". Later as I was walking around old town alone, I came across another tour group that was much smaller but the guide had a working mic and actually talked into it. Incredible, wish I knew what the other company was.

Horrible. - We had a marked walk to the Old District of Stockholm, we caught a lot of traffic and we were late. We sent a message and no one answered, we called the number that appears on the company's website and we were not answered, we searched for some office or someone who could inform us but we couldn't. It was very stressful, we wasted time and money.
