Great intro to Stockholm - I wasn’t sure what to expect as the price was seriously cheap for Sweden. The guide, who was from Colombia, was clear in his explanations, welcomed questions during the tour and, being a first timer in Stockholm, was the perfect introduction. I guess he relies on voluntary tips, which is perfectly understandable.

Interesting tour at the fairly quick pace. - Karl our guide was prompt and professional. He took us through downtown Stockholm very quickly in about two hours. He does not tolerate idle conversation while talking and will definitely remind you, so don;t do it. Others on the tour appreciate what is being explained without having to listing to side conversation, that's only natural. Other then that, appreciated all the re-locations to shady areas vice the bright sun we experienced during the walking portions of the tour.

Brilliant tour of the city - Really enjoyed this tour with Sophia (I think that was her name - she was new). Great few hours walking around the city. It was freezing and our lovely guide brought some tea that she shared around which was so nice. Leant a lot of interesting things about the city. Really enjoyed seeing the ruin stone. Great way to get an overview of the history of Stockholm.

Great insight into the history of the city - I love these free city tours. As always the detail covered is a great insight but not too much that you feel overwhelmed. There were some really good things pointed out on the tour that I went and looked at again in my own time.
Don’t forget to give the tour guide a tip after the tour. They deserve it
