Zenid, my tour guide was beyond excellent, if I could give 10 stars I would. He was able to keep the tour moving along and very engaging. He was on time and very receptive to want I wanted to see. He asked me what I wanted to see and told him to show me the city and did an excellent job. I learned a lot about the city of Stockholm and the history of Sweden overall.

We had an amazing tour with Fayez. From our first point of contact (a message to ensure we were prepared for the cold temperatures and possibly slippery walking surfaces) he made sure we were comfortable and had what we needed to enjoy our tour, I had expected a tour of the festive lights (which we saw them all) but got so much more. Fayez’ knowledge of history was incredible and he somehow managed to explain it in a way that was easy to understand and remember. He definitely has a gift for teaching. If you find yourself in Stockholm, don’t hesitate to take this tour. I cannot recommend it enough. (Just be sure to dress warm and wear shoes/boots that can handle slippery sidewalks!)

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.
