Traveler Reviews

Otroligt kunnig guide som pratade drygt 2,5 h. Kanske inte så mycket farligt folklore, men mycket annat!

Vår guide Åsa var otroligt kunnig och engagerad. Att ha en egen guide på 3 personer gjorde upplevelsen så mycket bättre än att gå i stor grupp. Vi fick reda på mycket fakta om gamla stan och många spännande historier berättades. Vår 10 åring tyckte det var spännande, intressant och lärorikt.

Tour guide was amazing and really knew his stuff. Was very open to questions and humor. Actual tour was great as well, with entertaining stories.

Good tour. Enjoyed the walk despite the less-than-ideal weather. The guide was full of insight and knowledge about the area
