Loredana did a fantastic job. She took us through all the Swedish Christmas traditions. It was cozy and we had a lovely time together.

Itinerary
Our guide (wearing a yellow vest or neon lanyard) will meet you in front of the entrance to the Nobel Prize Museum. Please arrive 10 mins prior to the starting time so you have time to check-in and even check out the Christmas market in more detail.
We will pass by the German Church and talk about typical Swedish Christmas traditions.
Try the sweet and sour candies made at this 1800's traditional candy shop.
Here, we will discuss the history of the world's tallest natural Christmas Tree and delve deeper into what kind of Christmas decorations are displayed in most Swedish households.
We make our way to the Christmas lights of the Moose Family outdoor installation, as these Nordic animals guide us on the way to the North Pole and Santa Claus.
We end our Xmas Experience at the King's Garden, where you can try out ice skating and a cup of mulled wine alongside some gingerbread cookies - a nice heartwarming ending to our Christmas time together.

This was a fantastic experience. One of the best Viator tours I’ve ever been on. It was fun, informative, and all around a great time.
Excellent tour - interesting, educational d fun. Ana was such a nice and energetic tour guide - thanks for making the activity so special.
The guide was fairly good. Group size was manageable. We struggled to find the guide at the start an had to call. Another couple had the same issue. May need to consider a better starting point. Calling it a food experience is a stretch. We sampled 2 treats that were not fresh but came from a supermarket packet out of guide's backpack (ie biscuits). Glogg was actually quite nice. Disappointed the Christmas markets were closed. This was not easily identified in the booking that this would not be included.
Anna is a fantastic tour guide. There was an even balance of sightseeing, food, drinks and social gatherings. She does a terrific job and makes you feel included throughout the whole experience. Would recommend completely.
Ana is a wonderful tourguide. She is warm, heartfelt and very attentive, also we had a great chat. The tour was a success, thanks to you Ana!! Ana took great care of us and was looking after us to her best ability! I warmly reccomend the tour and most of all Ana as your tourguide!
Frankie was a great and very knowledgeable guide. Also such a nice group to walk around with. Lots of stops to warm up out of the cold.
Frankie is so kind and knowledgeable. She answered all of our questions with such a positive outlook. I recommend her tour for everyone.
Great 2hour orientation tour and thanks to Ana, the brilliant guide we had, even though markets and shops were closed, she managed to give us the food treats all coming out of her magic backpack. Informative and funny, engaging and kind, Ana has been a revelation.
We really enjoyed the Route, as well as all the personal fun-facts our guide Ana provided! It was a pleasure to try the traditional snacks as well as hearing about the citys history.
Ana were really amazing and the tour was very interesting and joyful! She explained to us all the Christmas traditions and the story behind the popular places in details.
A great tour. Frankie was knowledgeable and her guiding style was informative, yet relaxed. She thoroughly knew her stuff, and the snacks and drink along the way was a lovely touch.
The tour was full of information about Swedish culture. Our tourguide Frankie was super enthousiast and made the tour super fun. We tasted some Swedish goddis. Definitely recommended! Thank you.
We joined this tour because it was the only christmas activity offered, and now we understand why (the christmas market is closed). Even though the guide from south africa was nice and polite (the reason we give at least 2 stars) she lacked the enthusiasm we have felt on other activities. The starting of the tour felt promising and fun, but then it started feeling like she was taking us to some spots for some half interesting stories, and as the tour was passing, she lacked enthusiasm and felt like she wanted to finish. Later in the day we took the Nordic food walk, and that one was amazing, a truly wonderful experience.
I had a lovely experience on the Christmas tour with Fran!! The tour starts in Gamla Stan but you get to explore so many Christmas gems throughout the city. I learned so much about Swedish culture & Christmas traditions as well!! And got to try some yummy Swedish Christmas foods!
It was very interesting. The woman was very nice and explained everything very well. We recommend this tour. You learn a lot about the tradition.
Jai quitte durant le milieu de la visite. Si vous faites le tour de ville qui a ete sublime avec sebastian. . Vous n’avez pas besoin de faire celle-ci. L’activite est la meme mais avec des petites patisseries venant dans de l’épicerie.. Dommage.
