Excellent Guide – Made 2.5 Hours in Gothenburg Fly By!

We really enjoyed the walking tour and were very happy with our guide. Even though Gothenburg doesn’t have as many famous sights as Paris, Barcelona or Prague, the tour was very interesting and kept our attention for the full 2.5 hours. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly and made the history and stories enjoyable. Definitely recommended!
