Response from Host, Sep 2026
So glad that you enjoyed our guide and tour
This ghost tour was the best we’ve been on! Our guide, Reece, was fantastic and his theatrics were top notch. We had such a great time learning all about the bloody history of Stockholm along with the jump scares from Reece.
10/10 would recommend. This tour was the perfect end to our Stockholm trip!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Wow "best you have been on!" So glad that you enjoyed our guide and tour. Thank you so much for recommending us!
Definitely had a great time on this ghost walk tour! Such a memorable walk tour! Totally worth booking if you're in Stockholm.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
So glad that you had a great time with us, thank you!
This tour is a load of fun. Entertaining and informative, humorous, and a perfectly macabre way to spend an evening in Gamla Stan.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you! So glad that you spend an evening with us.
Keep up! Reese is a ghost tour rockstar. We have taken many ghost tours via Viator and I can adamantly say this was the best one, hands down. If you have a chance, traipse around Stockholm’s Old Town with Reese. He did not disappoint. I would give this tour more than 5 stars, if I could.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Wow, so glad that you joined our rockstar on a tour with us!
I've been on many Ghost tours and let me tell you this was the best! Not only were the stories great but Reece was great as well. Wait until you hear about the lady in chains. Scary fun.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you! We love to be the best ;-)
So glad that you enjoyed our tour and guide
The Ghost walk was amazing! Our tour guide Reese was spectacular, and he connected with the members on the tour from the very first minute. He was engaging and funny. Be ready for a swift paced walk through Gamla Stan!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Like "amazing"! We are so glad that you enjoyed our guide and tour
Definitely a lot of walking, including on uneven cobbles and curbs as well as stone steps and terracing.
High energy, historic stories and locations where executions, executioners, assassination attempts and crypts, catacomb rooms were once employed. Throw in some warm fuzzy reflections on the black, bubonic and pneumonic plagues and you walk away delighted. Hats off to Reese for a paced traverse across Gamla Stan at dusk. I enjoyed the restaurant meal option, too, as it was within staggering distance to my hotel.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you! You covered it all; lots of walking, cobble stones etc. Glad that you enjoyed the tour, guide and the meal after the tour.
This excursion was really fun, entertaining and historical. We brought our Swedish friends along and they loved it as well. It made a perfect night out. Thank you.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you! So glad that both you and your Swedish friends enjoyed our tour.
A great evening event spent with an engaging knowledgeable ghost walker. With tales of local history, ghoulish humour and the mystery of the dark crypt at the bottom of the candlelit steps.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you! So glad that you had a great evening together with our guide
Christopher was a great guide and storyteller! His knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience worthwhile.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you!
Reese was a great ghost tour guide! We went our first night in Stockholm and it really helped us learn about Stockholm and Gamla Stan before we started exploring the next day. Highly entertaining and informative!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
So glad that you had a good start in our scary city. Thank you for recommending us!
Great tour around old town. Discussing not just ghost tales but a nice blend of history. Christopher our guide was great and really made the tour a hit with the family.

Reese was absolutely wonderful as our guide, learning the history of Stockholm during the tour really enhanced our experience.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you! So glad that you liked our guide and tour
Very theatrical presentation of the city’s notorious and nefarious characters and history. Guide tried to keep it fun and everyone engaged.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you! Hope the guide succeed to keep it fun and engaging.
Even in the rain, Stefan gave an insightful tour that was highly entertaining! He was eloquent, knowledgeable and engaging.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
So glad that you enjoyed our guide even if it was raining ;-)
Energetic walking performance full of history and humor across Gamla Stan. Great addition to our visit to Stockholm. Be able to handle cobblestones and old steps and “keep up.” It will be worth it.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you! Glad that you liked our tour
Our tour guide Reese was very animated when he was tell his stories throughout the tour which made it fun.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
So glad that you had a fun tour with our guide
Although the tour seemed less about ghosts, who to this day supposedly wander the streets of the Old Town, and more about folkloric tales (that sometimes conflicted with previously told stories on our prior tours), this was an entertaining way to spend 1-1/2 hours strolling through questionable history. The tour guide provided animated stories that were meant to scare us, and indeed, I remember a few screams at some of his unexpected gestures. If you are traveling with young people who have had their fill of museums, this might be a fun break from the typical touristy things you do. A fun evening for $37.13 per person, but don’t let this be the only tour you take. There are so many other tours that can give you a more thorough and authentic history of Stockholm that you shouldn’t miss.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you! Our tour is 80% Stockholm history, 10% taste, smell, feel the history and 10% humor and ghosts. Our tour is an entertaining Historical ghost tour where history meets mystery!
Of course you should take more tours around our beautiful city to get more information. If you want to know more about buildings, kings, streets etc you should absolutely do a tour with one of our many museums, but if you want to be entertained and have som giggles and hear some gruesome stories - join Stockholm Ghost Walk ;-)
Perfect weather for an evening walk through the old town area Our guide Cody was very entertaining with lot’s of stories to tell. The pace was reasonably brisk. Only downside was just too many people on the tour !
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you! Glad that you enjoyed our tour and guide.
Sorry about the big group that night, we had problems with our booking system so it got a bit overbooked.
Had a great fun time with friends. Learnt something new about Gamla Stan and would highly recommend it.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
So glad that you and your friends had a fun time together with us. Thank you for recommending us!
Phenomenal tour. Christopher struck the perfect balance between history and theater in this tour and I couldn’t be happier. Nice wander around old town, a visit to the crypt, and followed up with a very tasty dinner! Do yourself a favor and book this tour!

Where History meets Mystery!
I would like to share my honest experience. Initially, I was not particularly excited about booking the tour; however, once I met Chris, my perspective completely changed. He was extremely positive, engaging, and had a great sense of humor, which made the entire experience truly enjoyable.
I would confidently recommend this tour to my friends and others. For both my sister and me, it was an excellent experience, and I would rate it 10 out of 10.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you!

Thank you Allan_P! Glad that you liked our gentleman who guided you
It was a great walk through the old town of Stockholm with our guide Christoph. He told us a lot of famous and interesting stories about the history of the town. His kind of story telling was very impressiv. Whenever you have the possibility to book the Ghost Tour do it. You learn so many exciting stories about Schwedish history!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you Elke_B! So glad that you enjoyed our tour, guide and that you got to learn stories about our history
