Very good coffee, nice guide at some favorite places in Stockholm, quiet and nice. Pretty compact walk in Stockholm city
Had a really great tour with Adam who took us to some unique eateries in Stockholm. Included the best apple cake I’ve had. The Swedish Devil was a one off experience but glad I at least tried it!
This tour was not worth the money. Went to a few places - Licorice was dreadful, pastries were average. Did not learn anything about where we were walking or much about Sweden. The pastry shop was a large “Starbucks” like place and not a nice bakery as I was expecting. Adam our guide was very friendly but the whole experience was very disappointing, particularly for the amount of money we paid. This is not up to the standards of a Viator tour.
Such a fun tour both learning about the tradition of Fika and trying some really terrific sweets, from amazing pastries to delicious chocolates to frankly insane licorice. We got to walk through great parts of the city while snacking. Cotton was lovely and knowledgeable and it was a wonderful start to our family holiday in the city. Highly recommended.
Fika is such an intriguing tradition, we just had to take a tour about it. We tried salty licorice, a variety of baked goods, and gelato. All was delicious (well, not the salty licorice, but really worth a try!). Adam was a lovely guide and we'd highly recommend this tour!
Our guide Coton was very knowledgeable and had a lovely way about him. He introduced the concept of Fika so well and the variety of stops really appealed to us. W got to know our fellow travellers and had a wonderful experience.
We had an amazing time on the tour. We ended up being the only two people on the tour which made for an even better experience. The different sweets we tried were tasty and gave us a window into the Swedish culture
Was cancelled so I did my own fika tour in Stockholm after all there are many cafes where you can get a cup of coffee with something good
We showed up on time for the tour but the guide was a no show. We contacted the tour operator but they never responded. We did get a full refund which is appreciated but no apology for wasting our time and the round trip transportation cost.
Tour was scheduled at 2pm and the guide never showed up. Did contact tour operator and they never responded to the message. Contacted viator and after 25 minutes of chatting was told to call the operator... called and they never picked up. Contacted viator again, and told them I wanted to refund. I haven't received my refund and was told viator requested it and could take 72 hours. Do not do this tour. Not worth wasting your time and money considering I am chasing down my refund. Take your money and walk around the city. Plenty of fika and half the price and aggrevation.
