Anna and Ovidiu, the driver she obtained for us, were a wonderful team and fulfilled our every desire. We asked to be taken to the Uppsala area and left the definitive itinerary to Anna. It was perfect. I will recommend Anna's and Ovidiu's company to anyone. I intend to make a special recommendation to my travel agent if any other of her clients is looking for a guide in the Stockholm area.

It was perfect

“Anna was fantastic, and greatly connected with our interests with her tour. She perfectly directed her love of Stockholm to paint the picture of this beautiful city and its people, to us, your visitors. We can now only imagine returning to continue our exploration of this European gem. I already had a love affair with this intimate town. This feeling is only stronger now, due to the images she enhanced with her knowledge. I cannot wait to return.”

Anna was a superb guide. Thanks to her we saw and experienced so much more of Stockholm than we could have imagined. Plus, she was a joy and fun to be with. She sets the highest bar for tour guides!

Anna was lovely to spend a day with. She is highly knowledgeable and if she doesn't have an answer to a question she will do everything possible to get it. Her English is perfect. We highly recommend her!

The Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award (ALMA) is the world's largest award for children's and young adult literature. The awardwinner 2013 is Isol from Argentina. Isol is an illustrator, cartoonist, graphic artist, writer, singer and composer. The childrenbooks I've read so far are just brilliant. I (Anna) was her interpreter at the Stockholm cultural house. She did two workshops with children, ages 8 - 14. Thank you Isol. You're a wonderful person and I had a great time with you and the kids.
