★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 68 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $65

Review of Stockholm’s small-group walking tour, with local stories, major sights, hidden corners, metro art, pricing, route, and practical tips.

“Tomas was prompt, clear, engaging, knowledgeable, and an excellent English speaker. A 4th-gen Stockholm-native he did a fantastic tour, filled with great details (full Swedish flag flying over Palace when King is in the office, vs pennant) and fascinating things to see (subway art on all blue route stops!). Tomas led an engaging tour experience, not just informative but interactive - bringing stories and context supporting many of the facts and places of Stockholm. I would highly recommend a tour with Tomas for newcomers and returnees to this beautiful city of islands.”
