Traveler Reviews

Maria, estudiante y de Lérida. Divertida en las explicaciones, fantàstica, sin dejar su profesionalidad y lo wue le gusta, explica la historia. Mucha suerte y gracias por enseñarnos una parte de Estocolmo!!

My husband and I love science so when we saw this offered, we had to sign up for it. It was wonderful. We saw places in town we might not see otherwise and we learned so much that we didn't know such as information about the Celsius scale. I loved the periodic table showing the number of elements each country found. I also enjoyed the stories such as how certain Nobel peace prize winners saved their awards during World War II. Totally worth it. I highly recommend the tour.

Tour interesantísimo! Conociendo ya los tours típicos, fue genial descubrir esta faceta menos conocida de la historia sueca. Al parecer entre fika y fika se dedicaban a inventar escalas de temperatura y descubrir nuevos elementos! Los guías Marta y Arturo geniales, hicieron el tour súper ameno y divertido!

Exceeded everything imagined! After living 4 years in Stockholm I discovered places I never saw before, and the stories... No words! The research work behind the tour is highly noticeable. Marta and Arturo give the complete experience, old postcards included full of history! For romantic, curious or just someone wanting to create different memories from the city, this is the tour!

I was excited to learn about a new tour introduced by Rainbow Tours and I wanted to check it out immediately. I was eager to learn cool new science facts and Sweden's contributions to the scientific community. I got more than what I expected. This one too lives up to all the expectations just like all the other tours. There is a touch of personalization and fun stories and facts along with pictures. Definitely recommend this to anyone interested in science and having a great afternoon. Arturo and Marta were excellent guides that bring out a fun and energetic environment. I highly recommend their other tours too.
