Sari was awesome. She kept in touch with us prior to tour and asked what we wanted to see. She touched base with us the the day prior to the tour to make sure we were good with the time to start. We had a great experience and do recommend Sari! We had a great experience and she made sure we saw what we wanted.

Imagine you had a good friend who happened to be an expert on Stockholm's history and culture. Your friend then joins you for four hours on your vacation in Stockholm to take you around and make sure you know all the points of interest, local customs and things to do during the rest of your stay. That was exactly our experience with Zenid from City Unscripted. He was friendly, engaging and super-informative. From the history of Stockholm's formation to modern-day events, Zenid shared with us the behind-the-scenes details of Stockholm that allowed us to really get to know the city. The details included hidden surprises in the historic Gamla Stan, to the interesting facts surrounding the bank robbery that led to the term “Stockholm Syndrome”. After our tour he sent us a long list of restaurants to try, bars to visit and local spots to explore. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Stockholm, and Zenid was a big part of the reason why.
