Welcome to Encuentros!

May 20, 2017 Fika with Anna - coffee, cinnamon buns and conversation - provided an opportunity for me to experience an authentic component of Swedish culture. After a month of touring, what a delight to learn about Sweden effortlessly from a truly lovely guide while on the water, passing postcard scenery on the way to an artsy island. Back in Stockholm, Anna thoughtfully suggested a personalized itinerary for me to folllow on my own and kindly oriented me to the city. Highly recommended!

The Vasa museum visit was the highlight of the tour. Anna was extremely knowledgeable and found ways to bypass long lines at the museums. She was responsive to the needs of our group, which included 2 children and adapted the start and end of our tour to our travel plans.  

Dennis Gasick  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.

Anna was great. She gave the local transportation specifics we needed and was there to greet us as we exited Bus 53 and arranged a taxi to get us where we needed to be to meet our tour group. Her explanations of the architecture, art, and history associated with City Hall were informative and when asked about specific things, she promptly provided specifics. Her explanations of Sweden's and Stockholm's political structure and upcoming elections were non-biased and informative. Superb guide.    

Pamela Tudor 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!

”Vi är SÅ nöjda med Anna Håkanssons guidade tur runt Gamla stan. Alla våra önskemål tillgodosåg hon och det med råge! Vi är så glada att vi kom i kontakt med Anna och kommer definitivt anlita henne igen när vi har utländska kunder på besök i Stockholm. Jag , som stockholmare lärde mig också en massa".

Barry Russin  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!
