The map was easy to find and easy to follow. The stories were long, detailed, and educational. The speaker was easy to listen to and understand. The written transcription of the speakers words were appreciated. I really liked this short 9 stop tour. Con: i kept getting a pop up dialog box about undo paste that covered my route on the map. Super confusing. Do not know if it was related to the app, but that is where I kept seeing the pop up dialog. The only paste i did was the code from the email to open my tour. Con: after i took a dinner break (i left the app open during dinner) the map went into 3d mode and i could not get it back into horizontal view. Once i closed and restarted the app I was all good and back in horizontal view

The walking tour was amazing and our guide Brigitta was so knowledgeable on both history and culture. She’s an extremely smart, well travelled, experienced individual who was engaging the entire time. We highly recommend this tour and if you can, please request Brigitta, you won’t be disappointed!!

My teenage kids loved the pace of the tour and the energy and enthusiasm of the guide.. Not usually museum types they really enjoyed Vasa, and who doesn't like an ice bar experience. really good fun.

Best photo tour in Stochkolm with Dusica, she’s a professional person and a very nice person; was a great pleasure to meet her. Thank you so much, Dusica for our ride and hope to see you next time!

Afram was an excellent guide, very attentive and friendly. Great knowledge of Stockholm and its history.
