We were travelling with two 17 year old girls so it was great that they remained engaged. Sara also stopped when we needed some lunch and when we wanted to go into some shops and she still went beyond the allocated time to make sure we saw everything. We all loved the tour, the tour guide and the city of Stockholm.”
