Reviews

    Seeing all the Christmas displays in Stockholm was a fun experience. There are so many that it would have been impossible for me to find them on my own. Fayez is an excellent guide and made the tour both fun and interesting.

    Walking around the city to see all the Christmas displays was great fun. Stockholm has so many displays it would not have been possible to find them all myself. Fayez is a great guide and planned our route to maximize the experience. If you like Christmas displays this is definitely the tour for you. I highly recommend it.
