Good tour of Stockholm's old town with an excellent guide, we had a lot of fun! Unfortunately, my English isn't that good and I didn't understand everything because of the ambient noise. If the tour was in German, I would have given it 5 stars. You can definitely see parts of the old town that you don't get to see otherwise.

Absolutely fantastic walking tour, the guide had incredible empathy, he included both old and children in the story. Both me and my children aged 6 and 9 want to go to Stockholm again to be able to go on the ghost walk on Södermalm, I guess it's as good as the one we went on in the old town. We clearly had a successful and educational evening.

Our fabulously theatrical guide took us through the cobblestone streets of old town. tips 1. prepare for a performance 2. check the weather that morning 3. good shoes (cobblestones are brutal if you are not prepared) 4. public bathrooms are not along the route so keep a 10kr coin to use the one at the palace gift shop if you need a break, just inform your guide.
