Stockholm: Old Town Walking Tour with an Authorised Guide｜Sweden

Welcome to Stockholm and to GAMLA STAN - where the medieval Stockholm meets the modern Capital! We believe that local experiences require local guides. Meet your local guide Sophie: a born ”Stockholmer” with many years experience as a guide, who is also an Authorised Tourist Guide in Stockholm. Being Authorised means that she has gone through a guide programme of almost a year with many exams along the way, to ensure quality and knowledge. (99,9% of the guides in Stockholm are not authorised.)

This Old Town Walking Tour is a historic tour experience where you not only learn new facts about our Old Town, but also about Stockholm and Sweden in general + a touch on mutual Nordic history and unions. Sophie tells you facts and stories about the Old Town's past & present. On this tour, we cover Stockholm from its founding in the 1200's to its present form. By showing you historic and present pictures at the different stops, the stories come more to life.

The tour is efficient and informative - you will learn a lot!

Starting point - Birger Jarls statue
Finishing point - Royal Palace

We make 10-12 stops along the way and walk at a good pace! At our last stop we enjoy a mini "Fika" (Swedish sweet snack) together, as well as take a group picture that is sent to you afterwards. You will also receive a photo of Sophie's own list of gems and local recommendations in town (restaurants, ”Fika”, budget friendly options, and more) - don't miss it!
