Itinerary
Stockholm's City Hall is one of the most recognizable Stockholm landmarks. Not only a sight to be admired, but also a great viewpoint of the city, you will learn about all the Swedish history and culture its own walls are secretly begging to tell.
Dating back to the Middle Ages, as we walk through the narrow alleys and royal squares of the Old Town, you will be transported to medieval times and live through the tales of legendary heroes and infamous foes who once conquered and lost this city. From the Vikings to the burghers and the nobility, Sweden's past may be bloodier than you believe.
A not-to-be-missed unique piece of nautical heritage - a 17th-century ship that is still turning heads and making our jaws drop in awe. Discover the most tale-telling features of the ship and find out why she sank on her maiden voyage almost 400 years ago!

I had a great trip around Stockholm and to the Vasa Museum. My tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave me some interesting history about the sights we viewed.
Ana was a wonderful guide. She was full of valuable information about Stockholm as well as the Vasa. We would love to take another of her tours.
Great experience, even in the rain! Good way to orient to Stockholm and Gamla Stan, with great information on history, architecture, and significance of places and events. Anna was a great guide!
This tour has a lot of walking. You will see many sights and important places in the history of Sweden as well as beautiful scenery dury walking.
Anna was were informative and knew exact history of each place. she was patient and gave us enough breaks.
We were blessed to have a very small group and an amazing tour guide Olesia. She was so friendly and a great narrator.
Olesia was an excellent guide - very informative and enthusiastic. A warm and personalised experience.
We had a wonderful walking tour with our guide Olesia! She was very nice and extremely knowledgeable about the area. We highly recommend this experience to get to now more about City Hall, Gamla Stan and the Vasa Museum.
After the initial confusion over the meeting place I found the tour good. Ana our guide was very knowledgeable about all the areas we visited & kept the tour interesting. The Vasa museum is a must see
It was cold, and sometimes windy and wet, so we were the only two on the tour but with two guide trainees. NOTE THAT THE CITY HALL PORTION IS OUTSIDE ONLY. That wasn’t clear from the tour title. We also had to pay the modest cost for the ferry from Gamla Stan to the island with the Vasa Museum. Anna, our tour guide was very good. The tour ends at the Vasa Museum and you’ll probably want to stay and see more after the “tour” ends.
Great guided tour of Stockholm with a perfect balance of history and practical insights. We started at City Hall, learning about its architecture, the Three Crowns symbol, and the origins of the city. From the waterfront, we looked over Gamla Stan and Riddarholmen, with clear explanations of how the different islands developed and who lived there. Walking through the Old Town, we explored narrow medieval streets, saw rune stones built into walls, and heard stories about everyday life in the past. At key locations like the main square, cathedral, and Royal Palace, the guide consistently connected places to specific Swedish rulers, which made the history much easier to understand and remember. Highlights included the royal burial church on Riddarholmen, the site of the Stockholm Bloodbath, and the Royal Palace. The tour ended with a ferry to Djurgården, where we visited the Vasa Museum. A big added value was that the guide also shared great recommendations on what else to see in Stockholm after the tour. Very informative, well-paced, and engaging throughout—highly recommended.
Frankie gave one of the best guided tour we've experienced. Very informative and educational. She answered all questions with enthusiasm and you feel her love and admiration for the city of Stockholm. Great job Frankie!
Our tour with Ana of Vasa Museum and Old City 28/08/25 Ana proved to be an exceptional guide. She effortlessly conveyed her enthusiasm for her topic, and shared the depth of her knowledge. She had a light touch and a sense of humour. We particularly liked that she was a keen researcher. For example, when we asked her about a topic she didn’t have an immediate answer to (the positioning of a tall factory chimney in a square of palatial buildings) she looked it up during her break. We not only learned about why the chimney was there, it was the remains of building originally purposed for newspaper publishing, we also learned something of how the publishing industry operated at the time. This might just be our pleasure to know about how things work, but Ana joined in and made it important. The tour was delightful. We would recommend Ana as a guide to anyone thinking of taking a tour around Stockholm. Susie and Tony
If you have a limited amount of time, this is the tour for you. You must be able to walk and wear walking shoes. Our tour guide was charming and knowledgeable. She was engaging and answered all our questions. We walked at a comfortable pace with water breaks. She allowed enough time for us to visit the various stops, but was there for any additional questions or comments that we had. One item that was not clear when we bought the tour tickets, was the fee to ride the ferry over to the Vasa Museum. Not a big deal, but know that we had to purchase the fare. In our unique case, we bought a one way ticket to the island and a one way ticket back. They do offer a senior fare. We only wish we had more time to visit, so much to see.
My husband and I had a great tour with Ana. We started at Stadthuset, then walked through Gamla Stan and ended at the Vasa Museet. Ana started by understanding what we had seen in Stockholm in the previous days so she could build on that knowledge and not use the time to repeat what we already knew. She is a good storyteller and gets her message across well while leaving time for clarifications and questions.The walking tour was a good pace and not too strenuous. She had a good sense of humor and kept track of her pace so that we didn’t fall behind. A walk with Ana is time well spent!
Ana was a delightful guide. She made sure to take time to talk with everyone in the group, making us all feel welcome. The pace she set was comfortable and the history she shared was very interesting. I noticed some other guides around us seemed to be marching their groups through without really engaging them in conversation. Ana wasn’t like that, she was like hanging out with a laid back friend who happened to know a lot about the area. Great tour!
The best tour of our 23 day Scandinavian/Baltic tour. Friendly, brilliant, informative All you want in a guide. Thank you so much Frankie of Xperience Stockholm
We were so lucky and had our guide (Ileonarda?) to ourselves. She was fantastic- enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She made Stockholm come alive for us. Great start at City Hall and then on to Gamla Town. Lovely ferry over to Djurgarden and the most amazing visit to the Vasa Museum. Thank you.
Ana was a wonderful tour guide. She was very informative and enthusiastic. She gave us some tips on places to shop and eat. Ending at the Vasa Museum was perfect as we could stay and explore on our own. Very helpful for getting oriented in Stockholm.
Great way to get a quick overview of the must-see areas of the city. Highly recommended. Ana was super personable and just the best guide.
We had a fantastic time on our guided tour, tour guide was fabulous, full of knowledge and very personable, great to talk to, it felt like we were with friends.
We had a lovely experience on the Stockholm must see tour leaded by Ana. We had a nice storytelling from Ana, which help us to understand and imagine the history of Sweden in a really clear way. Also, we realize she was a nice photographer which capture real cool pictures from our tour. In general, with was a really nice time, rich content and happy moment.
Great time with great guide 😁 We'll be back for some time. Lovely place! Nice people, good amtosphere, great city :-)))
great tour - thanks for showing us everything. especially the vasa! highly recommend! thanks Ana - great tour and tour guide
The tour was not a tour of the building interior. It was instead, a walk around the outside of the building. We politely asked our tour guide to request a refund on our behalf. We did not take the Viatour since we wanted a tour of the interior of the building.
Anna was a wonderful tour guide. She was fun, knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. Our entire family enjoyed our walking tour. It was a wonderful beginning to our stay in Stockholm.
This was a nice walking tour. Kind of laid back and not too long. It provided what we were looking for so we thought it was really great! Anna, our kind, was absolutely top notch. She was very familiar with the points of interest on the tour and was very personable with a great personality!
Ana was the best. She was knowledgeable and very interesting. She adjusted the tour to our schedule and interests. Wonderful
From the very beginning, it was evident that our guide was a true expert. The tour was a perfect blend of education, entertainment, and engagement. Their insights into the history and significance of each site, from the intricate architectural details to the compelling local legends, made the entire experience incredibly enriching.
We had a great tour with Soter. He was so friendly, informative, and helpful. This tour is perfect if you want to see and know more about Stockholm.
We had a swift but really complete city tour, visiting the most remarkable spots in Stockholm. We had a really good guide by our side and the group was limited to two persons, making it almost a private tour!
Thank you Ana for this very interesting tour with lots of information. We learned a lot about Stockholm and it’s history. It was s wonderful experience!
Soren was an excellent guide. He was personable and knowledgeable. We did not know that we had to pay for the museum and ferry. Because it was National Day City Hall was closed. We feel that we should have been forewarned.
An interesting and informative tour in a small group with Ana. Enjoyed the historical and social details and beautiful buildings. Tour ended at the wonderful Vasa Musem.
Our guide Sotter was full of knowledge. He enabled the various landmarks to come alive with the stories and information he shared. Sotter was also a very positive, helpful and kind person. We enjoyed it immensely.
The guide provides you with relaxed view of many hidden gems that Stockholm offers. Ana was an excellent person for this... highly recommend!
Mr. Sotor, our guide was very nice and friendly and knowledgeable. Had a great walking tour. We started from the city hall and then weaved our way to vasa museum where it ended. The tour is relaxed and not very tiring. Thank you.
It was a great experience walking Stockholm with friendly and knowledgeable guides. Even though it was a very cold evening but still our guides made it fun and entertaining. Highly recommended 👌
Frankie and Xperience Sthlm far exceeded our expectations! We could see the beauty of Stockholm on our own, but Frankie brought us on a unique journey through the history and culture this city has to offer. She did a wonderful job tailor-making the tour as we went to fit our interests and made the real time updates to the tour seamless. I couldn’t recommend Frankie or Xperience Sthlm enough.
One of the best tours I’ve had around a city in a long time! If you want to see and hear the beautiful history of Stockholm and take in all the gorgeous architecture, I would highly recommend booking this tour. Honestly was so amazed with how fun, interesting and dynamic the tour was. Can’t wait to come back and do this tour with friends.
Signed up to the tour given by Francisca when my family came to visit me during the summer, and it went amazing! I have been living here for little over 3 years, and Francisca still surprised me with fun facts and curiosities about Stockholm and Sweden! Highly recommend them! :)
This experience was a lot of fun! Fran is a great host with her vivid personslity and amazing storytelling! She knows the city and it shows through the passionate way she shares its history and fun facts!
Love being shown around to all of these mesmerizing places. Many places that I would love to go and visit again and admire for longer. And how lovely and charming wasn’t Fran as the guide, the enthusiasm just shone through. Truly recommend this tour to anyone who likes history and beautiful architecture! They didn’t call Stockholm as Venice of the North for no reason ;)
Great guide and introduction to the Old Town and the Vasamuseet
Participated in some tours of this agency. Our company was Mrs. Loredana. She's super prepared. Really introduced us to Swedish reality, about history, current and very detailed information. Thank you Super great
Notre guide Ana était très compétente, très agréable, très disponible et répondait à toutes les questions qui nous venaient à propos du quartier, de Stockholm et de la Suède en général. Le fait d'être en tout petit groupe (4) a vraiment faicilité les échanges et rendu la visite plus agréable. Merci Ana!
Мы прекрасно провели время. Гид Юрий провел экскурсию очень живо и ярко. Время пролетело незаметно, потому что было очень интересно.
C'était une très bonne expérience, très instructive avec Ana, une guide charmante et sympathique . Nous n'étions que deux et nous avons donc pu avoir des échanges intéressants avec elle.
Beautiful experience I had with Letizia on a tour that made me appreciate and love the city. Highly recommended. Very knowledgeable guide.
