“Meget dårlig oplevelse. Første del af turen var afspærret pga. vejarbejde, dernæst er appen på engelsk hvilket ikke gjorde det nemmere at gætte og der blev intet fortalt om det man så, i stedet var det en ligegyldig fiktionshistorie. Vi kom ikke forbi noget som helst jeg vil kalde seværdigheder og gav op efter post 5. Kan IKKE anbefales. Spild af penge.”

“We were staying in Copenhagen, but couldn’t resist getting the train over to Malmo to explore a little. As we only had a few hours there, we booked a walking tour to get the most out of our time. Ignatios was our guide, arranging a meeting place that our train stopped at so was really easy to find. He was a delight to be with, so informative about the city, the way of life and set a lovely walking pace. We got to see so much more than we would have on our own, ending by the sea and the best ice cream shop in Malmo! Highly recommend this tour…”
