Full description

Your tour begins at Stortorget, the main square of Old Town. Hear legends and stories about the city and the people that used to lived here. You’ll walk past some of the best-known landmarks of the area, such as the Royal Palace, the Coronation Church, and the statue of St. George and the Dragon. If you have chosen this option, board the Djurgården ferry for the short trip to the island of Djurgården.

This is an excellent tour, especially for the price. My wife and I usually book private tours, but this was listed as as “small group tour” so I decided to try it. The price included the ferry ride, and museum admission, which made the price super reasonable, even though the group size was larger than advertised. The guide was very knowledgeable. My only suggestion would be to include a short break for a small rest and something to drink.

It is always worth listening to local people once you visit the place for the first time. It was my first trip to Stockholm so it was the best way to recognize the city and get valuable tips and hints from the Guide during the trip. Yes, it was a good trip and I think we got the best of it.

Helmut was really very nice! He is a native German speaker and showed us his chosen home. We started in Gamla Stan and ended at the Vasa Museum. There he also did a little tour so that no audio guide was necessary. We were only 4 people (German group) and were able to have a good chat and ask questions whenever we wanted. Helmut was well prepared, the tour well structured, so I can only recommend this tour!
