★★★★★Viator review
Interactive and informative!
Shannon_B, October 2026
Interactive and so informative! I was worried about a 2.5hr tour while It was cold out. We kept moving and it actually went by rather quickly. I totally recommend this tour, we saw parts of Gamla Stan that we would never have found. I especially loved the stories behind the statues. Luve (sp?) was a wonderful guide!

A history lesson of Stockholm Old Town
rjschneider85, October 2026
Lova, did a great job, she was extremely professional, charming, informative and punctual. I would highly recommend that visitors to Stockholm take the Old Town walking tour. The only down side would be for people with mobility issues, they may have a hard time walking on the historic cobblestone streets.

Rufus is a great guide
849elisabetho, October 2026
Rufus was a fantastic guide and it was an amazing tour. A lot of information but always with a hint of humour. It made us litsten to Rufus explaining the history with a lot of interest. It did not get boring at all. I think, it´s great for couples, family trip etc. Actually any constellation. I wouldn´t do the tour with smaller kids, because it´s not for them.
