“Cotton was an amazing guide and the range of Swedish foods that we tried was impressive, a very big variety. I won't say what we had but some recipes dated back to the 1600's. I suggest you don't have breakfast because there is a lot of food and we were very full by the end. I would highly recommend this tour.”
