Maximize your time in Stockholm - Very nice tour. I was one of only four guests, which was lovely. Natia was lovely, and very knowledgable. This was a great way to really appreciate the Old Town, beyond just walking around by yourself. I got a good feel for the history, and saw a lot of interesting things I wouldn't have known to look for on my own.

Fun tour for group or solo - Great fun. Informative tour. Lots of interesting history. We had time to stop at many different talking points and ask questions.

Stockholm is a cool city - We really liked Stockholm! Our tour was informational and we learned a lot. But the guide wasn’t local so it didn’t feel as genuine to us (sorry, but true). Would’ve preferred a Swedish or at least Scandinavian guide.

Rip-off - This tour should be worth $10. $45 is an absolute rip off. Just walking around town with 20 other people. You can even do that in a self guided tour.

Do not book this! - Guide did not show up, no notice was given and we were not the only people waiting. Really not good enough!

No show - Tour guide did not show up. We tried calling the WhatsApp number, no one answered. And then the excuse was "he had the wrong time."

Waste of money - I was really looking forward to the tour but was wildly disappointed with it. Little info provided. I learned next to nothing. Tour guide was incredibly nice but didn’t provide much history about old town. I feel it was the most haphazard tours I’d been on. I could gain just as much walking around on my own. I’d very happily pay money for a good tour, and have before but, I feel I completely wasted my money. There’s so much to Old Town that could’ve been explored and explained. I am so disappointed by how little I got from that tour. Biggest let down of my two week European trip.

Not good. - Guide never showed up. Waited 15 mins. Contacted Aviator for refund. And went thru their live chat, which was a lot of back and forth. Said they initiated refund but no excuse or reason given for the guide not showing or contacting me prior

Guide did not show up - The guide did not show up hence the bad review. No communications at all from the tour operator which was very frustrating as we could have booked another tour if they had cancelled prior to the time. Just a waste of time for us and really disappointed. One positive was that the payment was refunded once I requested it.

Guide Was a No Show - The guide never showed up. We waited 45 min past the scheduled time, and the guide never showed up. I received no communication about this and had to call Viator for a refund.
