Additional Information

Embark on a fascinating walk through Stockholm’s enchanting Old Town, tightly knit with a small group of travellers. We’ll meander through stone-laid streets, slim passageways, and ancient structures while narrating the riveting, occasionally brutal, history that shaped the city. We’ll begin from the one of the main entrances to the Old Town, briefly exploring elements of contemporary Sweden before heading deep into this historical core. Our stops include the central square, one of the earliest streets in Old Town, a Rune stone, the antique German church, a quick stroll into a bustling tourist avenue, and a pause at the city’s most slender alleyway. From there, we’ll move onto the erstwhile marketplace turned business plaza, the St. George & the Dragon statue, marvel at the smallest statue, The Iron Boy, then towards the Royal Palace, a region abundant in statues and stories. A native English speaker possessing local insights will guide the tour. The tour will wrap up at Old Town, allowing you to continue exploring or indulge in local cuisine and shopping.

Great experience - Kiki rocks! - Kiki was such a great tour guide and helped me understand everything from governmental structure in Sweden all the way to important cultural elements. My group was quite small (which was perfect for good conversation and questions). Even though it was incredibly cold for May and did briefly snow, Kiki was such a good sport and didn’t shy away from sharing as much information as possible. For other tourists that attend tours, make sure to bring an umbrella (just in case) along with a beanie / gloves. A rain jacket wouldn’t be a bad idea either, I just didn’t have one for the trip.

Amazing, funny, knowledgeable and informative. - Kiki was amazing, knowledgeable, and extremely kind. She was well versed in the history of the old town and gave some great suggestions and info on shops as well as places to eat. Even have us a "tips" laminated cards to keep. Side note she is also the only female guide! Woman power!

Well worth it - Kiki was an amazing guide. She was interesting, engaging, knowledgeable and personable. Kiki have enough history and information, without it being overwhelming. Kiki set a good pace and was mindful of all participants on the tour. I'd highly recommend to acquaint yourself with the Old Town and a brief history of Stockholm.

Loved the small group tour! - Keke was very knowledgable and shared interesting antedotes. Small group, so she could tailor the tour to our interests. At the end of the tour she gave us a tip sheet of her recommendations on other must-dos during our visit - great inside info!

A great way to start your visit to Stockholm! - The guide Kiki was awesome. She gave a great overview as well as having some cool in-depth knowledge. I'd highly recommend this tour as soon as you get to Stockholm because it really will change how you approach the rest of your time. I didn't know as much as I'd have liked prior to visiting, and she really educated me. She even has a handout with restaurant and very helpful sightseeing tips. Well-worth it!
