Fantastic tour!

This is one of the best tours ever. Sebastian was super knowledgeable about the history and politics of Sweden and how it became the country it is today. Fascinating background and presented in a very entertaining and interesting way. Highly recommended!

Östermalm

Lova was such an amazing guide. Information was structured, logical and understandable. Östermalm is an amazing part of the city a bit outside of popular tourist zones. Tour is amazing if you want both to understand Swedish history better and see more of the city
