We really enjoyed our walking tour with Cedric through Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s Old Town. Cedric was so nice and knowledgeable and made Stockholm’s history come to life. We were thankful the rain held off until we boarded our ship for our cruise through the archipelago.
The tour had two parts: walking through historic Old Town (Gamla Stan) with a guide, followed by the Archipelago Boat Cruise. The first part of the tour, walking, was exceptional, mainly due to our guide: Cedric Anthony. He is very knowledgeable with every historical and current fact/event related to Stockholm (and Sweden in all), and did a great job narrating and explaining the relevant information as we walked by each area and point of interest. Cedric was very patient and attentive, answering all the questions we had throughout the tour and provided great pointers as we passed by each site. Overall, a great job!
Our walking guide, Maria, was absolutely wonderful—so knowledgeable, engaging, and personable. With only four of us on the tour, she was able to make it feel very personal, happily stopping along the way to answer all of our questions. She truly made the experience memorable. The boat tour was about 2½ hours, which would have been perfect on a warm, sunny day. Unfortunately, it was overcast and extremely windy during our trip making the voyage feel too long. The indoor seating wasn’t the best for sightseeing since the chairs all faced inward, but sitting outside was much nicer until it was too cold, the tour provided blankets which made it more comfortable for awhile.
Really nice tour around Stockholm by boat. Very scenic, easy cruising tour, definitely recommended. Great way to see various of the islands around Stockholm.
Frederick was absolutely amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable and very welcoming. He gave us a thorough and enjoyable day in Stockholm. Highly recommend this tour and Frederick!
