Stefan was an amazing guide!! He listened to our interests and designed a tour that catered to that specifically. He moved at a gentle pace, offered a ton of interesting info, and really helped us fall in love with Stockholm. It was a great way to meet the city.

Stepan was terrific. He gave me a solo tour tailored to my interests with lots of history. We went into substantial depth and he was incredibly knowledgeable. He saw that I had a camera and then suggested some specific spots with good views for me to take photos. I would recommend him to anyone looking to see the city.

We’re delighted to hear that your introduction to Stockholm was so enjoyable and that Bitte was able to guide you flexibly and informatively, both before and during the tour. It’s wonderful that you appreciated the landmarks and their significance while exploring the old city.

Beautiful walking tour with extremely knowledgeable guide

Brandon_G, Jul 2024
We had a lovely walking tour with Magnus. We covered a lot of ground in a shorter period of time & got to see several different neighborhoods with the focus being on Gamla Stan, including some beautiful viewpoints of the city. Magnus was exceptionally knowledgeable so this is great for folks who are interested in the details of the history of Stockholm. There was also a good mix of "hidden gems" including beautiful Gamla Stan streets with few visitors. Great experience!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted that Magnus's exceptional knowledge of Stockholm's history made the tour especially enjoyable for you. We hope to welcome you on another tour soon!

Great tour! Highlights and hidden areas of a beautiful city.

Sara_N, Aug 2022
Our family of 4 including 2 young adults had a lovely walking tour of Stockholm with our guide, Magnus. He did a great job of taking us off the beaten path and away from the congested touristy areas. Highly recommend!

Waste of time and money in Stockholm

Timothy_O, Jun 2022
This was a total disappointment and a waste of money Our guide was nice but failed to give us any interesting information about the city. We were taken to a food court instead of historical sites. We have had many guided tours in other cities. This was the worst.

Stockholm is great, even in a thunderstorm ⛈ 🌈

Daniel_S, Jun 2022
An enjoyable tour around Stockholm, seeing some of the major sights, as well as a few places you’d maybe miss by yourselves. Our guide, Monika, had good knowledge of the city and very helpfully took some pictures of us for us. In spite of some adverse weather we really enjoyed and appreciated the tour.

Worst value deal ever

christian_o, Jun 2022
No head sets group of 8 Urban noise made hearing soft spoken difficult Guide very personable but not highly trained

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Hi, I am very sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your experience with us, the last thing we want to do is to let our guests down. We try to make our experiences much more engaging and interactive than the traditional tours by focusing on authenticity and a city's hidden gems. Our experiences are fully bespoke and private. We do not provide headsets as the group is never larger than 8 people and we have never had an issue with guests hearing our hosts before. I am sorry the experience wasn't what you were looking for. Best wishes. Nick

This was a tour that helped us see different places

Cristina_M, May 2022
I wish we would have had a more historical and cultural introduction to Stockholm; more educational vs just transportation between locations Agenda seemed to be lacking details and information /education on Stockholm was lacking

Stockholm Highlights

DianaM_W, Mar 2022
Liis was a GREAT tour guide--Had so much fun exploring the city with her, going to the royal apartments--getting a taste of all the beauty and culture Stockholm has to offer. Would highly recommend this tour.

Great Personalized Tour
