    Carol made Gothenburg shine!

    "Carol was incredibly friendly and shared great stories about the city’s history, often connecting them to the dishes we tried. The food selections were eclectic and thoughtful, highlighting both classic staples and dishes locals enjoy at home. It was a very memorable experience that made me feel genuinely closer to Gothenburg. Tusen tack Carol!"

    Great experience - even in the heat!

    "Carol was awesome to tour with! She was very accommodating for all ages- we had 26 year old up to an older woman in her late 70s. She went a slower speed and made sure we did all the hidden gems. She modified the itinerary by taking a short bus ride instead of making my grandmother walk the whole time. She educated us about the city and Swedish history. 10/10 recommend! Great tour guide! "

    Engaging, fun, educational

    "Carol made it possible to have our time together be a mix of historical places and contemporary dialogue on specific topics of interest to me: schools and education, housing, and Sweden’s mixed history in WWII. I couldn’t have gotten any of this from a canned tour. And as a bonus, we found a great place for dinner! Thank you Carolina, you made a huge difference in our stay."

    Gothenburg with Carol

    "Prior to my cruise all I knew About Gothenburg was that it was the second largest city in Sweden and it had a great symphony Orchestra We hired Carol to take us around She was extremely friendly, very knowledgeable not just about her home city but the entire country Her pleasant demeanor and warm approach made our walking tour of the city quite a pleasure I would highly recommend her to anyone"

    Great Walking and Food Tour

    "We had a great tour with Patricia! She took us all around the city and we also Indulged in Sika which she made special with an anniversary cake and the famous cinnamon bun! We also got to experience true Swedish meatballs and mashed potatoes with a beer. The tour lasted over 4 hours and Patricia was very interesting and informative throughout the time we spent. Highly recommend! "

    Fun Time In Gothenburg

    "I booked Patricia for both the Highlight and Hidden Gems tour and the 10 tastings. We decided to combine them and spent the day together. It was so much fun. We walked all over the city, sampled wonderful Swedish food and talked. We touched on history and culture. She is very nice. A great host."

    Great tour

    "Patricia did a great job with the tour. We got to try everything that we wanted to try and were able to see a lot of the city as well. She also gave us some good recommendations to tips of what to go do and see. She was also super flexible with us when we had some members of our group get their flight cancelled. We were able to switch days of our tour at no cost for us. "
