On the way back, they asked if we wanted to stop and look at more northern lights since they were so visible that night, and even went out of their way to drop us off at our hotel which was not a part of the pickup list. 10/10 experience!”

Not only did she share details about the history, architecture and neighborhoods of Stockholm, she gave us some great tips on restaurants (we went to her recco Pelikan last night- yum!) and shopping. Highly recommend this experience!”
