Review of Fotografiska Stockholm, with world-class photography, city views, restaurant tips, pricing, timing, and booking advice.
“This is my favourite attraction in Stockholm. The various photo exhibits are always superb, and the whole place radiates charm and style. In the summer there is often a bar, open air restaurant and live music outside when you finish your tour, and all year round there is the fabulous restaurant and bar on the top floor with the most amazing views over Stockholm. If you go early evening there is often a pop up stand selling glasses of champagne by the exhibit entrance that you can drink as you walk around. It only takes 90 minutes to walk around but its worth going.”

Review of Stockholm’s 5-hour tour through City Hall, Gamla Stan and the Vasa Museum, with ferry ride, fika break and expert guides.
“The guide was super sweet, nice, energetic, extremely charismatic and had very interesting stories to tell.

It was super good that the group was small too. the guide was a true expert of the Vasa museum, we feel very lucky to have gone there with him.”

A private Stockholm tour pairing the Royal Palace, City Hall, Vasa Museum, Skansen, Old Town, and scenic viewpoints in four to five hours.
“Mark was a poor guide. He did not know the itinerary and failed to give adequate information about the sites. He failed to stop at the Palace for an hour and passed the old village. He only returned to it after I told him this was on the itinerary. The fee charged for this tour was exorbitant in view of the quality of the tour provided. I would had a better experience on the much cheaper hop on hop off bus.”
