He had pictures of the buildings we saw, including others pictures that showed the buildings as they looked years ago. He also knew a lot about the royal family, which was of particular interest to my wife. He also gave us Swedish restaurant recommendations - and we did try the Swedish meatballs. At the Vasamuseet, he gave us an orientation to the displays and the ship, which was very helpful.”
