Mi guía no hablaba español pero sí un inglés muy accesible. Muy simpática, amable , abierta a que se le pregunte lo que sea y eso que me interesaba saber sobre la la inmigración actual , por ejemplo
Se ven variadas cosas y con mucha información pero de manera amena y con el tiempo suficiente

Description

Dare to time travel to an age when lords and ladies rode their horses through the narrow, cobbled streets, shopkeepers shouted out the daily deals from their doorways and animals hopped from rooftop to rooftop (well, only in the beginning perhaps!). Entering into the Old Town is like stepping back in time and having the city’s living history unfold around you.

In our very personal opinion, the Old Town of Stockholm is the ideal place to start your visit to this beautiful capital, especially if you want to get to know the Swedes (we’re not only Vikings you know!) and a bit about the city's long, fascinating history. If you’re looking for a short and sweet introduction to the historical centre of Stockholm, this tour is the perfect walking tour for you.

We begin at the exceptionally photogenic main square, Stortorget, in the heart of the Old Town (trust us, get your cameras ready!). At the Royal Palace, we will give you insight into how a gym owner and a reality tv-star became real-life royalty. While sampling a piece of a traditional candy cane, you will experience the result of the Swedes’ creative innovation skills.

Now your Stockholm Old Town Walk is complete - what a treat!

A great way to orient yourself to the city!

Our tour guide George was full of information and interesting facts. It was a great tour to do on my first day in Stockholm as a solo traveler to situate myself and learn a bit about the city's interesting history. Definitely recommend doing this.

Natalie was waiting for us in advance at the designated starting point. One and a half hour full of stories throughout the Old Town (Gamla Stan) y Riddarholm. Each corner had a secret, a small o great story behind to be told. Natalie's enthusiam, fantastic attitude and clear English got our attention during the whole tour. Natalie took care of any of us and when I thought it could not get better, suddenly, she sang us a (Christmas) song. I would rate this visit as a "must see tour" performed by an excellent person/proffesional. Thanks a lot to Stockholm Our Way and thanks a lot to Natalie as well !!!

My husband & I enjoyed our walking tour of the Old Town with Katrina, it was a relaxed pace yet we still covered all the significant sites. Her knowledge of the area's history was excellent and we loved her enthusiasm in sharing her knowledge with us!

We went on the old town tour with our guide Katrina. The tour was very well planned, and had the perfect balance of wonderful sites, great history, and simply fun stories. We learned and saw so much during this 1.5 hour tour that my wife and I went back the next day to retrace some of the places we visited during the tour. It was evident that Katrina really enjoys giving this tour, and we would call this one of our highlights during our 4 day visit to Stockholm. We'd definitely recommend this tour and Katrina to anyone visiting this wonderful city.
