A great way to explore Gamla Stan! During the entire walk we experienced rain which only added to the overall vibe, so don't be dissappointed in advance if the forecast calls for umbrellas. Our tour guide, Cody, fits perfectly into his role! With a mixture of humour and grim history, an hour and a half flew by. I heavily recommend the dinner addition at the ex-prison restaurant.
Great historical ghost tour. Really interesting aspects of the city and wars with Denmark picked out. Reece was an awesome guide- made the whole experience engaging and the time flew by.
That was awesome, amazing, entertaining. Time was passing by so quickly! Hints - if you show up at the meeting point on time you do not have to worry you will miss the guide. You will notice him for sure :) thanks for wonderful time Cody :)
We did this tour in Stockholm, with our family of 4. It was amazing, Callum the guide is a very nice storyteller and makes the experience one of a kind.
I had an absolute blast with my friends and our host Callum! It was sadly poor weather with rain but the tour was not cut short and still fun, spooky and comical. I would highly recommend to anyone who visits Stockholm to do this tour!
