A very friendly guide (named Cotton) met us exactly on time at main entrance to foodhall and established any food allergies/ alcohol preferences from the start.
We proceeded into the markethall and were presented with various local cheeses, unusual meats (sausage from wild bear, reindeer jerky, smoked moose) and a meal of traditional Swedish meatballs & potato washed down with a glass of Swedish beer. Whilst enjoying this we were given a great insight to the traders, the buildings history and architecture.
Cotton then guided us to the next venue with terrific details and stories about the city and its streets & buildings. At the next stop we were again presented with an array of traditional Swedish fish cuisine accompanied with wine. Absolutely delicious and again Cotton's conversation was delightful.
Upstairs we were treated to a selection of liquorice treats; some with unexpected tastes!
Onwards the chat and information about Stockholm was wonderful and we concluded our tour in a beautiful little back -street café in Old Town with coffees, luxury hot chocolates, cinnamon and cardamom buns.
All in all simply one of the best guided tours we have ever experienced. Once again a BIG thank-you to Cotton; you made us feel like family!
