Arturo was awesome! He made a family of 19 all feel included in the experience. He was passionate about the tour and really connected us to Stockholm, its culture and history. We learned so much and had so much fun! He's the best tour guide we have ever had!

Great tour of Stockholm. Marta is very knowledgeable and makes the tour very accessible and entertaining for all the family. Highly recommended.
I found Rainbow Tours through Visit Stockholm and booked a 2-hour Old Town walking tour—one of the best decisions of my trip! Arturo met me at my hotel and brought Stockholm’s history to life in a fun, engaging, and easy-to-understand way. Even though I usually research before traveling, I learned far more than I expected. Arturo is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate—without a doubt the best tour guide I’ve ever had. He was so great that we rearranged our plans just to tour with him again at the Vasa Museum. Highly recommended!
My friend & I are in Stockholm for several days and decided to do a private walking tour to familiarize ourselves with a City we do not know. We were very fortunate to meet up with Arturo, not only the owner but a super knowledgeable and highly intelligent man with the best of personalities. Arturo provided us with a remarkable tour, taking us to tucked away places only the locals know about. Thanks to Arturo we were provided with a priceless geography and history lesson. I HIGHLY recommend Arturo for any Scandinavian visit and yes, he does many other cities in the country. Thank you so much Arturo!
Gaia is a super super nice girl. She explained everything very well and with a great humor. I recommend this tour highly to everyone who wants to know the tour.
Sophie was an excellent guide, meeting us at our Gamla Stan hotel and leading us through the history of Sweden and Stockholm while touring Old Town, and then showing us Sodermalm with its great views of the city and modern everyday life. This tour was a great introduction to the wonderful city of Stockholm.
It was a great full day tour with lots of historical background around Stockholm. A super in-depth tour of Vasa Museum.
Excellent tour. Very well informed guide, with historical emphasis. He was also very personable. The private tour, about 5 hours, was well worth it, and we have found, a very efficient way to appreciate a different environment. Not things easily done on our own.
Absolutely outstanding. Not only is Tale charming to be with, she is incredibly knowledgeable and interesting. She went above and beyond to ensure we got the most out of our time in Stockholm by ending the tour with lists of recommendations, getting us a reservation at a lunch restaurant we wanted and taking us right back to the restaurant before leaving us. Excellent tour in every way and I would recommend her highly to everyone
Sophie took us on an excellent tour around Stockholm. She customized the plan based on our interests prior to the tour and met all of our requests. Our two kids (9 and 14) stayed engaged the entire time (over 7h) and really enjoyed learning about Sweden and Stockholm. Sophie even had a little game for them prepared to keep them focused throughout the tour. Excellent expedience that met all of our ecxpectations. Highly recomended.
Great tour of Old Town and the Vasa Museum. Our guide was very friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Stockholm and she went out of her way to accommodate our interest.
This was our second tour of Stockholm with Arturo. (First tour was in November of 2023. Second tour was July 2025). We have been on many other walking tours in the US and Europe. Arturo's tours were without a doubt the best experience we have had. He provides history and detail that others simply can't match. We would go out of our way to book any tour with Rainbow and Arturo. They set the standard of what a walking tour should be.
The guide was charming and knowledgeable. I am originally from Stockholm but she told us things I never knew. She also adapted the tour to our needs.
Incredibly knowledgeable and personable guide for a magnificent city. After the tour it's worthwhile to take time to see the changing of the guards and eat at a local restaurant to get a true taste of Sweden. If coming from the cruise ship I recommend taking a taxi to and from the tour.
Aggie was an amazing type guide. We really enjoyed her and learned a lot. She's also very patient and great with kids. Tip her well because she deserves it!
Informative, well-paced and enjoyable tour led by Agnes. Thanks for the ‘fun facts’ and the perspectives on Swedish culture!
Oscar guided our tour on a beautiful sunny Wednesday, and we really liked it! His way of telling all the insides and stories behind the district of Södermalm really made the whole thing interesting to follow and hear to!
GREAT TOUR! Arthur was an amazing guide! We were a group of 10 adults. He met us at the ship and spent the entire day with us (10 hours). He was passionate about sharing his knowledge of Stockholm. He took the time to discover what we like, and them provided a custom tour to fit our areas of interest. We were greatly impressed with his knowledge about so many things! He was able to pack in so much in just one day! We LOVED our tour - we can't say enough good things about it - one of the best we've ever had! Thanks for making our day in Stockholm one we will never forget!
BEST tour guide ever!! We had an amazing time with Arturo. He’s so knowledgeable and fun. We learned so much and saw many great places. He knew all the best stops for photos too. I would definitely recommend booking a tour with Rainbow Tours!!!!!!!!
Our guide, Arturo was one of the best we have ever had, (& we have travelled in past years extensively). He guided my husband & me for one & a half days, viewing the key sights in Stockholm. He was knowledgable and enthusiastic about each sight. He attended to our wishes with flexibility and humour. He was thoughtful, punctual, creative, & made the tour fun. He readily gave suggestions for our free time. He clearly loves his job and has a keen interest in others. We are lucky to have found him. Jean & Marvin, Montreal, Quebec, June 2024
Excellent tour with Rocio who was very knowlegable and super nice. Thank you! I recommed it 100%!! Stockholm is beautiful!
Oscar, our guide for our 2-hour tour, was terrific — Informative, interesting, friendly, accommodating. Highly recommended.
Weather made this our Plan B but were not disappointed. A week’s worth of museums, restaurants and shops kept us/me busy (friend returned to work while I carried on solo). Although an impressive public transit system got us everywhere with little effort, we often chose to get our daily steps in and see more. (Sometimes the best way to learn a city layout is to get lost - safely!) The old town “Gamla Stan” is being both well preserved and functional. The wandering indoor/outdoor/underground malls thwart inclement weather. So much history, art and architecture to see, I’ll surely be back.
Claudia was our guide. She is very knowledgeable and she gave us so many details about the history. Thank you again
Phenomenal guide, entertaining, informative, engaging. A very good experience. He was able to make everything interesting. He adapted to what we’d seen and provided a great time at the Vasa Museum. We truly enjoyed the experience.
Fran did a great job of customizing our tour and giving us fascinating information about Stockholm’s history and culture.
I had the most amazing 3 days in Stockholm thanks to Arturo and Rainbow tours. Arturo doesn't just take you to places and recites what he has learned in a book. He's a splendid story teller who makes you feel you've actually lived the story yourself. I highly recommend Rainbow Tours to anyone who wants to enjoy Sweden with someone who knows how to transport you from a regular tour to a magic land that you'll never forget.
Loved our time with Arturo! He was knowledgeable and entertaining. Our time together was a perfect introduction to Stockholm. I highly recommend Arturo and Rainbow Tours.
Incredible experience with Arturo. He managed to make the tour informative but at the same time humorous. We visited Old Town and Vasa Museum, both experiences provided an excellent insight of Stockholm and its history. Highly recommended it.
He is friendly, effervescent, and a real ambassador of Stockholm. He showed us the close and intimate side of the city. He shared the back streets and history of Stockholm in a fun and enjoyable manner.In addition, he helped us all with the recommendations to shop and explore the city. We ended the tour with a round of beers and was a memorable experience.
Our guide Piotr showed us the old town and Södermalm. He showed us rhe highlights, but also some hidden gems you not have noticed otherwise. He talked passionately about the city, joined us to the best lunch and fika places and even did some additional research before about some hidden dutch history in the city. He also was very flexible in what to show us when we had additional questions or demands.
We had a terrific tour with Arturo! We gave him a long wish list of things we wanted to see and learn about Stockholm and he covered them all. He was also super friendly and personable. Would highly recommend!
The favourite part of the tour was to know more about the “old Stockholm life” and to know more about the culture. The guide was top (5 stars) and he helped us with some restaurants to try the traditional food and to try the famous fika at 15pm!! I really recommend to the future visitors to do the private tour with these fantastic guides!
Best local tour in Stockholm! I have been to the several tours with Rainbow Tours and I wish they could have more. I highly recommend to people who want an in-depth tour.
Arturo was super fun and informative. I would highly recommend a tour if you are visiting Stockholm!
Amazing illustration. He is a really nice and educated guy that with enthusiastic personality! Recommend!
Awesome tour! The tour guide was very well informed and made the stories very interested. I liked how he kept the suspense and revealed the things at the right time :D
I have attended around 12 tours in Stockholm. I have gathered a good chunk of information about Stockholm. But I had desire to go deeper and I have made good decision choosing Arturo, from rainbow tours, who felicitously went down to more advanced history and stories. Smartly connecting history dates with people. He got me excited and interested through the whole tour. Witty, captivating and constantly deepens his knowledge about Sweden. I really recommend!
We have done two tours with this company: the first, with Marta, in the Södermalm neighborhood, and the second, with Sebastián as our guide, in the Östermalm area. We give them the highest rating for how engaging they have been (two and a half hours with each of them felt very short) and the preparation of the guides. They have a high level of training and information and have responded very satisfactorily to all the questions that have been asked of them. Without a doubt, we 100% recommend the tours with this company. Thank you, Marta and Sebastián!
Very top tour, Guillermo was a very good guide, with information, facts, and fascinating curiosities about the city and its history. Perfect personalized tour and very kind.
I loved the tour and the Gaia guide, very beautiful!
We booked a tour of the Gamla Stan area. Elena our tour guide was a charm and very close, made us feel very comfortable. The route was very entertaining, it lasted about 21⁄2 hours. In the end, he stayed as long as necessary to advise us and resolve our doubts... A 10 for her..
Fantastic visit made by Guillermo. Nice to share the tour with him. Fully recommended for all who come
What more words do you say in a minute! You are very nice Guillermo has been a pleasure. We had a very nice afternoon, and you gave us a lot of information.
Great, very informative city tour. We were a small group of seven people, which made it very individual. Our tour guide Zenid was very knowledgeable in language, English and German. The three hours were entertaining. We got many insights into the history of Stockholm. Those who don't like history are out of place here. We also received several additional visitor and restaurant tips for the following days.
Guillermo is an excellent guide, detailed and fun explanations. I recommend it to everybody!!
Guillermo did an excellent job, highly recommended. Very fun, entertaining and dynamic. Complete and with very good references
We have done the tour with Guillermo and we have been very happy. Very friendly and has made the tour very enjoyable. 100% recommended
We have booked a private tour that has turned out to be a spectacular experience, not only around the city but by our Guide Claudia!!! It has been a pleasure to travel the streets of Stockholm with her because she has put a lot of detail into the explanations and was always attentive to the needs of our children (13 and 9). From the first minute, Arturo did his best to get us a place, fluid and friendly communication, is grateful , certainly a highly recommended experience!
Arthur was an exceptional guide, he explained the history and curiosities of Stockholm with a touch of humor, which made the whole tour very enjoyable. He is enthusiastic about this craft and this is relayed. Super recommended for all those who want to know the city and have a pleasant time.
