Our guide had a deep understanding of the area’s history and culture. He created a welcoming atmosphere and was very good at storytelling, which brings the place to life. He managed to give a good overview of living in the city, from a "foreigner's" point of view. The only grey part was mentioning too many dates, which was sometimes tiring for a group of already exhausted tourists :)

We found the tour was based in gossip and opinion rather than fact and history. The guide was an expat who had opinions that did not seem inline with fact according to several conversations with locals. He seemed to have right wing views and gave a lot of opinions of Swedish ways of life rather than history. Was very disappointed. Also it was a massive group.
