Also a helmet which are mandatory. We explored a lot of the different parts of the city and covered a lot of ground. Our guide, Alexandra (sorry if I've not done the correct spelling) was very knowledgeable about Stockholm. She was friendly and greeted us with a warm smile. It was a good experience and we would recommend it.”

“I booked this transfer with the full expectation that our driver would be waiting for us upon arrival. The communication from Victor leading up to our flight was amazing. We communicated with our driver about our delay; he advised us that “I will monitor your flight”. We left Dublin late (approx 15-20 mins). Upon arrival at Stockholm we actually made up time in the air. I had full expectation upon bag retrieval that our driver would be waiting. Instead he blamed me for saying our flight would be tardy, although he advised he was “monitoring our flight”. When we did communicate upon arrival at baggage claim he said he was…”
