Nevena is very knowledgeable and friendly. She kindly reminded us the day before our tour. On the day, we arrived early and Nevena was already there waiting. We did the two hours walking tour and had a wonderful time. She also left us with many recommendations for things to do. It was absolutely fabulous. Thank you so much! Wonderful time with Nevena

This was our first time to Stockholm. Lule catered the tour to meet my family's needs. He offered history and fun facts and chatted with my kids (ages 19, 18 and 14) to gauge their interests and designed the tour around them. We learned a lot about Stockholm's history, character, charm and culture. Lule was a great guide.Lule is Terrific!

We (family of 4 with 2 children) had a really great tour with Erik in the area of Gamla Stan. He showed us some hidden gems we would have missed for sure without him. He was very friendly and also very nice to our children. He also had further recommendations for other places to visit, which we really appreciated. Therefore we had a lot of fun in sunny Stockholm. Tack så mycket!Tour Gamla Stan

Lule is a great guide. He fitted a lot in a short space of time nicely mixing the old town, with the new and more modern areas. Good mix of history with contemporary explanation of Swedish politics ans society (and it was fun comparing our Swedish guide to the Danish guide we were with a few days ago!) Lule was also great with our boys (12 and 14) chatting football and other things they found interesting. Would highly recommend a wander around Stockholm with Lule. I’ve heard Eric is ok but Lule is 5 STARS! (Actually heard Eric is the food and drink expert so 5 stars for Eric too.)Cool tour of Stockholm

We were recently fortunate enough to have Sandra provide an expert and entertaining journey through Stockholm's Old Town. Although we had been up since 3AM that morning catching a flight to Stockholm, Sandra managed to hold our attention with her deep command of the history, architecture and culture of the district. She kept us us away from the crowds, and pointed out numerous interesting sights that surely would have eluded us. She's a keen observer of Swedish culture, and kept us laughing a good bit of the time. We highly recommend her!A Bright Sunny Day In Gamla Stan

Our group of 12 was fortunate enough to have Erik as our private tour guide, and he was absolutely brilliant! Hugely knowledgeable, great fun, and wonderfully personable — he managed to make a wet and blustery afternoon genuinely enjoyable. Erik brought the history to life and kept us all thoroughly engaged from start to finish. If you're after a private guide while in Stockholm, we’d highly recommend Erik without hesitation!The best Stockholm walking tour around!

We had a perfect tour through Stockholm together with Nevena. We learned many things about the city and got some really good tipps for the next days from her. Also all our individual requirements (to do the tour with a stroller) have been done perfectly. Also Nevena was very patient with our small son, which made the tour even more relaxing for us. We would definitely do the tour again with Nevena. Perfect Tour

Sandra‘s tour was so much fun. She met us near the Royal Palace and took us all around that area sharing the history of Sweden. We then walked all over old town visiting little nooks and crannies we never would have found on our own. We ended up at a really nice original classic restaurant with an incredible menu and ambiance. Sandra was a wonderful tour guide. We walk slow and she adapted her tour to our pace. We highly recommend her. You must book Sandra

We had a truly wonderful experience with Sandra during our City Kickstart Tour in Stockholm. From the moment we met, she made us feel welcome and excited to explore the city. Sandra struck the perfect balance between sharing Stockholm’s rich history and offering a fresh, local perspective on the city today. She also gave us a ton of thoughtful recommendations tailored to our interests, from local food spots to a number of cultural attractions. Thanks to Sandra, we felt much more oriented and confident exploring Stockholm on our own. Highly recommend starting your trip with this tour—and if you’re lucky enough to get Sandra, you’re in excellent hands!Highly recommend a tour with Sandra!

Sandra was a great guide. I had just a couple of hours to explore Stockholm’s Old City, and she made every minute count. She took me to all the famous sights, but also some quieter, hidden corners that gave the tour a really unique feel. I loved how she shared bits of history and legend in an engaging way. It felt like walking around with a super knowledgeable friend. Highly recommend!Wonderful 2-Hour Tour

We had a great tour at the beginning of our visit to Stockholm. It helped a lot to get familiar with the city and it was not only a great tour with all the "historical and touristic basics" but also a spiced up with all the little stories and facts you only hear from locals. It is such a big difference between this tour and a standard tour with 50 people. We got a lot of tips what to do, see and eat....but never like "you have to do this", but more like " maybe this might be something for you. I'll send you a link and you can check later if you want to do it."Great Experience

We did the City Kickstart Tour: Stockholm on our first full day in the city. What a great way to start our visit of wonderful Stockholm. Our guide, Matea, was fabulous! She gave us a great foundation of the layout of the city which made getting around easier on our remaining four days. Matea also shared such interesting stories about the city and the stops we visited. After the tour, Matea sent me additional information and tips on restaurants and historical sites that we had discussed during our tour. If this is your first trip to Stockholm, I would highly recommend doing the Kickstart Tour with Matea!Great Start in Stockholm

We had a lovely tour by Sandra in Stockholm. Sandra is an excellent host. Swift response by mail to questions we asked her before we went to Stockholm and she gives you also a lot of additional information for your stay if you ask for it. We had to reshedule the tour because of change of plans, that was no problem at all for Sandra. She is very flexible and hospitable. Sometimes you get the feeling that a tour is done in a rush. Not by Sandra. She takes all the time for you and your company and tells you interesting and informative things, not just the standard stuff. And not entirely unimportant, she has also a good sense of humor. After our tour she was so kind to drop us off at the restaurant where we had made a reservation for lunch. I would recommend Sandra to everybody who is gonna visit the beautiful town of Stockholm!
