Pleasant, Knowledgeable, Great Pacing - Our guide was personable, knowledgeable, helpful, funny, cheery, and we appreciated all he showed us. Chada (sp?) gave us interesting history lessons, and talked about modern life in Sweden as well. He related some of the descriptions to our kids' interest and kept them engaged. He showed us things we would never see ourselves. He didn't rush us which my older mother appreciated. We were so happy to have him as our guide.

All was good. - We were fortunate in that there were only 4 people in the tour. Our guide was very good offering us tidbits of info that personalized and enhanced what we were learning. He was on time to start and added a little time at the end. All in all, we enjoyed the tour and recommend it
