Excellent walking tour on Stockholm's Old Town (Gamla Stan) with a superb guide (Ms. Kiki), who apart from the historical facts, gave us a witty account of factors and events that shaped Stockholm throughout the years. Not to miss!
Kiki is knowledgeable about the history within Gamla Stan. This small group tour had many points of interest, including bits of trivia information. Definitely worth your 2 hours.
Great tour with Kiki. Easy to find starting point; learned about the old Town and many recommendations of where else to go, where to eat, where to shop. Good pace, very informative!.
Kiki was a great guide! She took our small group on a fantastic walk around Stockholm’s Old Town. She showed us the key sites and had great stories. The group had a lovely time together. She left us with a laminated recommendations card as a parting gift and I loved the extra touch. Thank you Kiki!
Very informative tour. Nice and easy walk around Old Town. Highly recommend, quick way to learn all about Stockholm and its history.
Kiki, will give you lots of historical facts but also gives you plenty of current information and is willing to help you out through out your stay .
Kiki was fantastic. The walking tour highlighted parts of Stockholm we would never have found. Really interesting and fun.

Thank you so much for taking my tour and leaving such a positive review!
Kiki was an outstanding tour guide! She is very knowledgeable and explains details about everything. In addition, she gave out a list of tips and things to try while in Stockholm. I wish other tour guides were as conscientious.

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the rest of your heritage tour. I appreciate that you took the time to leave a review!
We LOVED our tour with Kiki. She told us so many interesting historical and cultural points in an effective tour that not only taught us about Gamla Stan but about Sweden in general. We generally like starting trips off with tours like these and Kiki was one of the best we've ever been lucky to tour with. Since she also lived in the US it was interesting to get her perspective on both cultures. Bonus points for the local suggestions she handed us at the end. Highly recommend!
This is a very enjoyable tour.Kiki is a great tour guide,very relaxed ,very informative and the tour goes at a nice pace. I would certainly recommend Kiki if you are looking for a tour of this lovely part of Stockholm.
This turned out as an almost private tour, we were only three guests. Our guide Kiki was very friendly and helpful and gave us a lot of useful advice, besides having a vast knowledge of history and of interesting tidbits which one does not find in general history books. The tour is about two hours walking over medieval cobblestones, quite tiring for us seniors, but we would not miss it!
Excellent tour guided by Kiki! Very knowledgeable and confident. She gave so many wonderful insights and clearly loved the history of Stockholm. Thank you for this great introduction to Stockholm!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you for taking my tour! I hope you enjoyed your stay! Safe travels!
Excellent tour, very impressed with the guides knowledge of the local history no she also pointed out things you wouldn’t pick up on by just walking around doing your own thing. We were only a small group of 2 so plenty of opportunities to ask questions and it was possibly a bit more relaxed than had it have been a larger group. Also good to know that the tour goes ahead even with 2 people. I’ve had other tours cancelled at the last minute because of a lack of numbers. I nice touch at the end was she gave us each a list of recommendations for good restaurants and local attractions along with the best time to go to avoid large queues. Totally recommend this tour.
Wonderful overview of both Gamla Stan and contextual Swedish history. Kiki has a solid knowledge of the history and a nice and informative way of communicating. She moves at a good pace; not to fast, not too slow. It was a great introduction for our first day in Stockholm
We've learned to do these history tours early in our trip and Kiki did not disappoint. She was fantastic and it was a great tour to learn about Gamla Stan.
Response from Host, May 2025
It was a delight meeting all of you. I hope you enjoy your cruise and the rest of your vacation. Thank you for taking my tour!
Excellent tour of Gamla Stan area. Kiki our guide was outstanding. Great knowledge of Swedish history that made tour very interesting. At end of tour, provided helpful tips for what else to see and dining suggestions. Also made sure we could find our way around Old Town for further exploration.
Our guide, Kiki, was brilliant. We were given lots of information about Stockholm and Sweden. Kiki even gave has an information card at the end of our tour with lots of tips on what to do and where to eat, what food to try etc which was a lovely touch. I would definitely recommend Kiki.
Kiki greeted us warmly and was an amazing guide. She was knowledgeable, funny and extremely helpful.
Kiki was a wonderful tour guide! She was full of interesting history and facts about the area and also had fantastic tips about how to navigate Stockholm for first-time visitors. She also did a really nice job of engaging with the teens in our group and not just the adults. This is a great tour to do early in your trip so you can benefit from all of Kiki’s expertise for the remainder of your time in the city.
Kiki was our wonderful guide. Not only did she point out the sights and give us all the pertinent information. She also told us how the street names translated into English. I really enjoyed learning that helpful information. I would highly recommend this tour and hope you get Kiki for your guide.
