Very informative and covers a lot of Stockholm - We loved our city tour with Sofia (Sophia) and our driver (sorry, I’m forgetting his name but he was great too). She really made Sweden’s history come alive and made the morning fly by. Both also made sure that we avoided all the major crowds so the tour felt more intimate and we got great photo opportunities. Highly recommended!

We booked this tour through Viator... - <p>We booked this tour through Viator local tour company was Easy Travel I had a question and emailed Easy Travel. Within an hour they responded! They were at our hotel at the agreed pick up time. Jimmy the driver and Jorge they tour guide were both great. They were both friendly and informative. We had a private tour for the 5 of us in a clean Mercedes van with snacks and water provided by the tour. Jorge took us on a tour of Drottningholm Palace and was a great guide.They took us to a few scenic spots for photos then on a walking tour of old town. We loved this tour and our guides. I would definitely recommend them to everyone!</p>
