“It was interesting. I learned a lot about history and life in Sweden. We had a wonderful day.”

“It was a fun and unique experience - something I hadn’t tried before! I only wish the AI had been more advanced in recognizing what I drew on the wall, as it seemed limited to certain animals and objects. I also wish the colors, like the butterflies or circles, were more chaotic and vibrant, bursting across the walls. Since there was no roof, it would have been nice to be inside a full cube - surrounded by color and moving art everywhere. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend this for children!”

“We were guided by Christina who was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant. It was an excellent experience and we learned so much about Uppsala and especially the University since the latter was a special interest of mine. Since we were only two guests on this tour she even included a special showing of Norrlands Nation since my parents belonged to it when they lived and studied in Uppsala. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this lovely guided tour❤️”
