“I ended up being the only person on the Södermalm Tour, which turned into a private experience with Adam- and it was fantastic. He walked me through the neighborhoods’ best lookout points, churches, parks, and lively streets, pointing out restaurants and shops I never would have noticed on my own. What really stood out was how much history and culture he wove into the walk, explaining how the area has changed over the years and what life is like for the locals today. Adam is knowledgeable, engaging and clearly passionate about the city. I left with a much deeper appreciation for Sodermalm. I would highly recommend both this tour and…”

8.Private blood, ghosts and folklore Old Town 2h Stockholm tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 3 reviews · from $188

Explore Stockholm’s darker side on a private Old Town walk featuring executions, ghosts, trolls, water spirits, and Swedish folklore.

“It seems that not much happened in Old Town Stockholm. Based on the name of this tour, we were expecting many interesting, gruesome, intriguing stories. Instead we were told that a body was found between the walls of the palace and they say her ghost still haunts the palace. Campfire stories are better than this. Our guide was nice, but there isn't much to say.”
