Testimonials
I really enjoyed discovering Gothenburg with Lana. During the tour, I saw how diverse this city is. We visited different districts: the historic center, the cozy Haga, and the modern Hisingen. Each area has its own unique charm. I also appreciate Lana’s recommendations for delicious lunches and fragrant pastries.
Svetlana, Denmark
Writing while my impressions are still fresh! The emotions are simply incredible. I've been living in Gothenburg for seven years, and to my great shame, I had never even thought about the city's history… What a thrill it was to dive into the past and see these familiar streets from a completely different perspective! With every word you spoke, my mind painted scenes from a movie—interwoven destinies, love stories, and even the tales of the stones beneath our feet. You surprised me at every moment, drawing my attention to details I would have never noticed, even after walking these streets a thousand times. This city, often underestimated by tourists, hides so many wonders. Thanks to your tour, I’ve once again realized why I love Gothenburg with all my heart. Now I just want to learn more and more, adding new pieces to the story in my mind. ❤️
Laura, Sweden
Lana’s tour was the highlight of my visit to Gothenburg. She has a fantastic way of making history come alive, blending fascinating facts with humor and warmth. I especially loved her recommendations for local cafés—those cinnamon buns were unforgettable! If you're in Gothenburg, do yourself a favor and book a tour with her!
Johan, Sweden
We booked a private tour with Lana for our family of four during our trip from Finland, and it was the best decision we made! We wanted something tailored to both us and our two teenagers, and Lana designed the perfect mix of history, fun facts, and hidden gems. She even included stops that matched our interests, like a visit to an old shipyard for my husband and a charming café for our daughter, who loves Swedish pastries. Lana’s storytelling was so engaging that even our 14-year-old, who usually isn’t a big fan of guided tours, was hanging on to every word. She made the city’s history feel alive, and we left Gothenburg with not just great memories but also a deeper appreciation for its past. If you're looking for a tour that feels personal and immersive, don’t hesitate to book with Lana. She truly goes the extra mile!
