What people are saying about Stockholm County

It was amazing! The entertainment was brill, I cannot express how good it was, surprised my partner to a mini cruise for his birthday and he loved it! I would definitely recommend. I’ll be back! Wouldn’t mind a cheaper discount offer too

Our guide had a wonderful and engaging personality. I loved we walked, stopped for history, and stopped at various venues to taste foods. Starting at Saluhall was a great starting point and ending in Gamla Stan was enjoyable.

It has been said that to truly understand a people, you must be familiar with their food. Food is culture. This tour was a delicious introduction to the unique culture of Sweden.

Right now It’s a little hard to find the way there, due to the road works in that area, but otherwise, It’s an amazing museum, highly recommended

Great tour to see a little bit of the city while tasting all kinds of local food. Really good !
