VASA Museum was amazing! The photos don't do it justice! City Hall was impressive as well! Stockholm is a breathtaking city. Kate was an amazing, friendly, fun and knowledgeable guide!
Mark and Kate were amazing tour guides. They brought to life the amazing city and history of wonderful Stockholm
Very enjoyable. Our guides were pleasant and very knowledgeable. Felt like we got a good over sight of most of the city. Would have been nice to been offered a water or snack for the money you pay. But overall very good.
The tour can be personalized and can conducted at your pace. The guide is so knowledgeable that she can tailor what she tells you to your interests. We learned quite a lot about Stockholm's history and got great advice on places to visit in the future. (I recommend this as your first activity). And we did avoid all lines to the museums. The tour begins in a luxury coach, which allows them to introduce Stockholm and provide an overview of the city, its geography, history and culture. They stopped at a stunning overview, where we could take a photo of Stockholm. The driver was an accomplished singer and a captivating performer. He sang two songs for us that were written by famous, historically significant Swedes. (The Swedes love their music and singers). Most memorable was him singing a dramatic song of legendary Swedish singer Evert Taube in Evert Taubes terrace. After the one-hour car ride, we went to visit the Gustav Vasa followed by the Skansen open-aie museum. The tours were informative. We ended exactly at 1:00 pm. The reader will want to know that although you are picked up at your hotel, you are not dropped off. The tour guide did tell us how to get home, and she also walked us to the ferry and helped us get on. We lived the ferry ride, and we enjoyed it. It was only a short walk to the hotel from the landing. However, if you wanted to go directly to the hotel, I would ask the guide to call a taxi.
Nice people (guides), wife and husband. They were great to be with and did a very nice job. But they were simply hired by Viator. Not their fault, we're sure, but they thought we bought a 3 hour tour and we thought we bought a 5 hour tour. Viator said 4. Nothing Viator said was correct. Viator said we would get dropped off at airport, included in the price - WRONG. Viator said driver would call us when he arrived at ship - WRONG. In fact, Viator sent us a message asking what time we wanted to be picked up after we bought a 9:00 am pickup. Then they asked where our ship was and what the name was -- after we had already supplied that. We will NEVER use Viator again for ANYTHING. We didn't even get offered water or a snack during the 4 hours - Viator said both were included. The cost was way more than the experience was worth. Viator must take a huge chunk off the top. We feel totally ripped off.
