Nevena was a wonderful guide. Our 3 hour walking tour was filled with insights on architecture and stories about the history. This was my first time to Stockholm, so she gave a thoughtful overview. Plus we had fun together. Highly recommended.A perfect welcome to Stockholm

The tour with Lule was exactly what we were hoping for as an introduction and orientation to the city. We covered plenty of ground but the pace meant the conversation never stopped and we enjoyed getting a locals perspective on both Sweden and its relations with other nordic countries. Great introduction to Stockholm

We had the pleasure of starting the year 2025 with a delightful walk through Stockholm with Lule. Next to his impeccable storytelling skills and love for his city, Lule also showed warm human interest in connecting with us. We exchanged about daily life in Sweden, Scandinavian geopolitics, and many « smaller » details that made the tour even more relevant. Thank you Lule for spending the first hours of 2025 with us!A fantastic 1st January

Just to say we had a great experience with Nevena. My girlfriend has loved Stockholm since she worked there many years ago. it's a great City and full of wonders. I didn't know Stockholm and needed help to find the best place to propose and Nevena was amazing, helped me through the whole plan, found the best place and recorded the moment of surprise. Thank you Nevena, you will always be a part of our very special memories of this beautiful place.A guide to an engagement in Stockholm

Lule is an amazing tour guide. He showed us so many amazing points of interest in the city and pointed out more that we visited the second day. His storytelling made our tour humorous and enjoyable. He was understanding of our child with special needs and really connected with him… Lule is THE best!The Best

The tour we had with Lule was delightful, me and my boyfriend went on to learn a lot of tidbits about how life in Stockholm is for a local, all that insider knowledge that it is not easy to acquire when you’re a tourist for a few days in a city. We had very long discussions and the focus was less on structured historical knowledge and more on contemporary daily life, so be mindful in case you prefer a more structured approach. We ended the tour enjoying Fika while grabbing coffee and pastries offered by Lule in his own cafe, and that was a sweet note to conclude a very good tour.Very enjoyable experience

We had a wonderful 3+ hours with Erik. + nice personality also with our kids + showed us all relevant parts of the city and customized the trip around our wishes + got to taste some really good food that otherwise I’m sure we would not have found or ordered + not a time watcher. I believe we went over the 3 hours by a margin without any feeling of rush Perhaps the only think to reach 10* is perhaps a bit more “storytelling” about history and how places are connected or not together. We didn’t ask for that either though. Excellent food and fun tour

We had a brilliant morning with Erik. He was very knowledgeable and we had good conversation. Best of all he had a great sense of humour and we had a laugh together. He showed us lots of interesting places that we never would have found by ourselves and gave us lots of history about Sweden and Stockholm. I would thoroughly recommend.

Erik put together the best tour for my family. We asked him to curate an experience that included food, walking, history, and a local understanding of Stockholm. Not only did he make the tour very walkable for our older family members, he found a way to mix in the sass when appropriate to maintain levity. He made the food tour very accessible for all dietary restrictions while staying true to Scandinavian favorites. We look forward to Fika with Erik during our next trip to Stockholm! :)Stockholm from the best vantage

We had a great tour with Matea! She is knowledgeable, easy to speak with & she showed us many things that we would otherwise not have known or “seen”. Matea tailored the tour to include a food hall near our hotel. She recommended a restaurant in that food hall that was sooo good that we went there twice! And the coffee & pastry shop in Gamla Stan was outstanding. We also appreciated her shopping recommendations. Friendly, informative & relaxed tour

(About local Nevena )

10 June 2024

Nevena was a great guide to have show us the highlights of Stockholm. She communicated ahead of our tour and set a meeting spot that would be convenient for us. At the beginning of our time together she asked us what our interests were so she could provide a walking tour that would reflect our preferences. History and architecture is what we love to hear about and Nevena was a great historian, highlighting points of interest only a local would know. As we wove through the cobblestone streets Nevena pointed out different architectural styles as she filled us in on the history of both Sweden and Stockholm. There was a marathon that day which started at noon and as we started at 9 the timing was perfect. Nevena ended the tour at an amazing indoor market and suggested we have lunch at one of the restaurants associated with the stalls which we did. We were not disappointed! Wonderful food to reward 3 hours of walking! If you have the chance to take a tour with Nevena you definitely should!The sights of Stockholm

We loved listening to her stories about the culture in Stockholm while learning about the sights of the city. She made us feel very comfortable and at home throughout the tour. She answered all our questions and recommended other activities to try on our short visit. She also helped us navigate our way through the city after we left her. We loved our time in Stockholm and would definitely like to return for future visits because Sandra peeked our curiosity. There are so many more sights to see. Thank you again for a wonderful day in Stockholm.Hidden Gems

We had a great tour with Luke (Goran). Walking the city, we saw so many of the “classic” sites as well as the ones you would never know about unless you were a local (as he is). His knowledge of the history is extensive and he has a great sense of humor. We saw more in our 3++ hours than many see in days. The highlight was finishing the tour at a local coffee shop to people watch and talk about the day. Highly recommended!The very best way to experience Stockholm!

We spent a lovely three hours with Nevena around some of the historical landmarks of Stockholm and it was one of the loveliest traveling experiences we had as a family. She's very friendly and sociable at the same time being a very informative tour guide. She really brought the centuries-old streets of The Old City to life with her charming narrative and delightful energy throughout the tour. I recommend her tours to everyone who visits Stockholm and we thank her greatly for the wonderful time we had together.We loved every minute of our tour :)
