Well worth every penny! We enjoyed our guide, Stephan. He was knowledgeable, entertaining, and a joy to spend time with. He gave us historical and societal insights that heightened our experience. We ended the day knowing much more than we ever anticipated. Stephan is one of the best guides we have ever had in all our travels..

Here are some stops you might explore:
Stroll through Djurgården, the city’s royal island full of nature, museums, and quiet walking trails. Your host will guide you through tree-lined paths, canal views, or local galleries—depending on your vibe. It’s a peaceful place to connect with both nature and culture.
Admire the grand exterior of the museum or head inside to explore its fascinating exhibitions. Your host can suggest similar museums if you’d prefer art, photography, or modern design.The focus stays flexible, based on your interests on the day.
Wander the cobblestone alleys of Gamla Stan, the oldest part of the city. Discover tucked-away courtyards, traditional Swedish façades, and cozy cellar cafés. Your host will guide you to quieter corners, even in Stockholm’s most visited district.
Take a scenic walk along the water’s edge in this local-favorite park. Watch locals skate, picnic, or relax along the lawns and beach paths. It’s a great place to slow the pace and enjoy authentic daily life.
Explore this vibrant weekend street market, filled with food trucks, handmade crafts, and secondhand treasures. Stroll past stalls with vintage fashion, art prints, and sustainable goods. Your host may recommend a snack or help you shop like a local.

My daughter and I spent half a day exploring Old Town and surrounding areas with Zenid. He was a delight ! From the first text, he was quick to reply and so personable. Zenid gave us lots of insights to the sights, the history and the backstories to what we were seeing.
Great walk with Stefan this morning. We saw a much of stuff in a very short tour, he kept us organized and moving so we got to catch the ship and see more places.
It was too cold to be walking for 4 hours. And the price for a simple walk with someone to point @ buildings was not worth paying 450 €. You could easily wander around by yourself and find the info about sights in a travel guide booklet. The guide was okay to have for company but honestly spending that much time with a stranger felt a bit uncomfortable and we would have preferred having our own fun.
Great experience I would definitely recommend this experience as a valuable one to add to your overall travel journey. The tour guide Fayez was excellent!
Stefan is extremely knowledgeable and a master storyteller. He planned an interesting itinerary, and he had much to share about culture, history, environment and geography. He is also personable and gracious. Highly recommend.
Wonderful experience with Zenid. He was very knowledgeable and informative.He knew so much about so many different topics. He should actually be on Jeopardy one day. He was also very personable and kind. He made great recommendations which we followed and enjoyed. Highly recommend him again and again!!!
We had the immense pleasure of spending 2 hours with Zenid exploring the hidden gems of Gamla Stan. His English is perfect and he provided interesting stories in perfectly sized doses that left us entertained and educated. He pointed out many things along our walk that now seem obvious but were completely not noticed or overlooked before our tour. We loved this tour and highly recommend it- if Zenid is your guide you’re truly blessed! Thanks Zenid- as I mentioned to him I travel blog. I shared so many things I learned and my followers also said “thanks Zenid!”
Fayez was an excellent guide! He knows Stockholm very well, and the time passes by quickly, he knows the right spots that most tourists skip. He also adjusted the programme, as there were places that I had already seen. Also very funny as well! 4h may seem much but actually aren't, Stockholm is a big city. Highly recommended!
We had the most wonderful morning walking with Sari! She was informative and flexible and shared stories that appealed to our entire family. We appreciated her flexibility and suggestions of what to see, where to eat, and which attractions to visit based on our interests. It was the best introduction to our stay in Stockholm!
Sofia was great! She made the tour fun and interesting. Perfect tour to start our visit to Stockholm. Would recommend this tour to others wanting to know more about the history of old town.
Our tour guide Monika was amazing! She knew everything about Stockholm’s history, culture and arts. She guided us all throughout the different parts of Stockholm and gave us suggestions for more exploring the following day. I would highly recommend this private tour to anyone who wants to see a lot of Stockholm in a short amount of time.
Walking through the Old Town with our wonderful guide. We were able to hit the highlights of the city, enough to grasp its outlines and its history.
Magnus was a very personable guide, he was a true local sharing his stories of growing up in central Stockholm. We shaw some wonderful sights and learnt alot of history and he also had many old photos to share with us. It was a great day out. Thanks Magnus we will certainly recommend you.
No one showed up for the tour. We woke up earlier and waited until I called the operator. Terrible experience being left waiting, minimally expect a call hours beforehand to cancel.
The entire tour was fantastic and Sara was extremely attentive to your needs throughput the tour. I am not sure why I am required to write more than is necessary to convey my satisfaction with the tour, but again the tour was great and Sara was fantastic.
Wonderful day with Sara. She communicated well prior to the tour date, to make sure that all of my requests were met. She arrived at my hotel ten minutes early. It was a wonderful day, and I highly recommend this tour.
Eddine met us in our hotel lobby, and we moved from there. He was knowledgeable and adapted to our interests and showed us parts of the city we had not yet experienced including a couple of food markets. High marks - would always begin a city trip this way.
The guide never showed up and didn’t contact us. We wound up downloading a self guided tour which was great. Still a very disappointing and a bad way to start a great trip!
Stellar. Eddine was great. He accommodated my tour on a very short notice due to flight delay, very knowledgeable. He makes sure you get the Most out of this tour. Highly recommend him. Had a fantastic time.
Our guide Magnus did an excellent job of providing us with highlights of Stockholm. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic in relating interesting information, stories suggestions for our continuing exploration of Stockholm.
Magnus was an amazing tour guide. Most travelers enjoy tour buses , etc ,but we walked through whole city. We visited the one of the islands in Archipelago. Also, as we walked Magnus provided me with great history and details to know of the city. I enjoyed my time especially just for three days ( weekend getaway) I recommend this tour and tour guide.
Our tour guide was wonderful! She was so sweet and knowledgeable and took us around the whole city! She even accommodated when I wanted to stop for a coffee.
I travel a lot and often book tour guides. Sarah is the best tour guide I ever had! She was very knowledgeable, intelligent and gracious all throughout! I was comfortable with her right away. I shall strongly recommend your services and that of Sarah to my friends and relatives! More power!
Vasa Museum is a must see. Also arriving there by ferry rather than tram was a nice touch. Prior to that a casual walk around the less famous parts of town made for a better understanding of the city.
Such a great tour! Perfect blend of history, fun facts and hidden gems. Sara was the best! She gave us some recommendations on other places to explore during our week as well as restaurant recommendations that gave us a true local experience. Would definitely recommend again and again. A 2 hour personalized tour is the best way to start your trip in a new city. It lets you orient yourself to the geography (so you don’t feel lost walking around in your own) and it gives you a local perspective.
We enjoyed everything She knows a lot and shared it well If you want to see so much of Stockholm and are willing to walk a lot go for it
We did a walking tour with Sara and she was a fantastic guide. She showed us the whole city and shared some interesting facts but didn’t overwhelm us. We were travelling with two 17 year old girls so it was great that they remained engaged. Sara also stopped when we needed some lunch and when we wanted to go into some shops and she still went beyond the allocated time to make sure we saw everything. We all loved the tour, the tour guide and the city of Stockholm.
Our guide was Pelle and he was knowledgeable of Stockholm / Swedish history and major sites. Pelle was flexible with our schedule and out tour began with a visit to the Central Station to get rapid COVID test. We needed to get tested for COVID and present a negative test prior to reentering the US. Our tour continued to Gamle Stan, ferry ride, the ABBA Museum, and ended at the Vasa Museum. The Vasa Museum is a must-see. Highlight was visiting a quaint cafe in Gamle Stan and going to have a Fika.
We absolutely loved our tour! Shawn was able to show us so much in the two hours we were with him. I’m so glad we booked!
A visit to Drottningholm Palace , The Royal Palace and residence of the royal family was the highlight of our trip to Sweden.
