“Since public transport is expensive the hop on hop off and boat tours are a good value to move around and see everything dirong the day. The only issue is that it stops early, so qould need to complement with other trabsport at nighr or plan to end in an area that is walkable to hotel. Other issue was the signs for the stops. Some atractions are not included but the most important for us was the Vasa museum and fotografika and were happy to bundle those up. There are a bunch more but need a lot of time to take advantage of all of them. We used for two…”

Explore Stockholm’s medieval Gamla Stan, ride the Djurgården ferry, and visit the Vasa Museum with a small-group English guide.
“Our guide, Bengt Nykvist, gets five stars for a very professionally conducted and informative tour of Gamla Stan and the Vasamuseet. 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.”

I only wish the AI had been more advanced in recognizing what I drew on the wall, as it seemed limited to certain animals and objects. I also wish the colors, like the butterflies or circles, were more chaotic and vibrant, bursting across the walls. Since there was no roof, it would have been nice to be inside a full cube - surrounded by color and moving art everywhere. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend this for children!”
