We’re fortunate that Thomas was our guide in Stockholm. We had been planning this trip for a while and we finally made it. During the planning process, which was a long time in the making, Thomas was helpful and patient all along the way and always prompt in his response to my email. He provided us with an airport pick up and a private city tour on a subsequent day. We wanted an enjoyable and relaxing day of sightseeing around Stockholm and that’s what Thomas delivered! Thomas was so knowledgeable and all together great company. We enjoyed the information, stories, points of interests visited and his humor. His casual and informative style was just perfect, with history made interesting. He pointed out iconic homes, defined historic buildings, provided anecdotes throughout and gave us good insight into Swedish culture. We hit the city highlights, drove through many of the neighborhoods, visited various islands and as a private tour, he offered flexibility regarding the overall itinerary, timing and drop off point. We visited the Vasa Museum and Thomas guided us inside. The museum is already special, but with his guidance, he made the history of Vasa come alive. The museum is not to be missed and was made better with Thomas’ knowledge and commentary to enhance the experience. Thank you, Thomas, for your gracious and wonderful service. You also captured our perfect family photo from a scenic vantage point (although the weather wasn’t cooperating much). You made our short stay in Stockholm a true delight!

It was a real pleasure to make a visit with Philip - he is a wonderful guide with knowledge, tact, intuition, personal charm and great sens of humor combined with passion for the job and the place where he lives. He gave us informations exactly adapted to our interests and our needs (such as vegetarian restaurants or food market) and he conjured up summer in the middle of winer-spring with his way of being. He infected us with love for Stockholm. I couldn't have wished for a better guide who found his place in our hearts. Thank you, Phill!
