We had the most incredible experience exploring the city of Stockholm with Cristian as our guide! His passion for the history and culture of the area was truly infectious, and he shared fascinating stories at every turn. Cristian's knowledge was impressive and made the tour both informative and enjoyable. He went above and beyond to ensure that everyone in the group felt engaged and included. I highly recommend Christian's tours to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure filled with laughter, learning, and wonderful memories!

We did the tour first thing in the morning when we arrived in the city. It's an interesting walk around the city center, and we were given a lot of interesting information about the history of the town. I would definitely suggest to give it a go!
