Latest reviews from our guests

The local operator was responsive with a comprehensive survey to gauge our interests in advance in great details. They assigned a guide to us right away. This is a walking tour that includes taxi rides to the city center and then back to the port. Our guide, Sari, was also responsive and trying to cover as much as on our wish list. She is knowledgeable and easy to work with. We enjoyed our tour!

Had 2 different tours with Fayez - one in Stockholm city and a second to Uppsala. He was timely and professional throughout and was informative on a variety of topics. Our only regret is that we couldn't have spent more time with him.

This experience was really good! My husband and I have been on a lot of cruises and it's always a bit difficult to make our way around the stopover cities on our own as we don't know all the good places. Our guide Tom was excellent and showed us so much of the city's culture and heritage in a short space of time! He was really patient and welcoming, and was really passionate about his city! Excellent!
