Stockholm Christmas Tour and Food Tasting Experience
Description
Embark on a Swedish holiday experience in the winter wonderland of Stockholm on a two-hour guided small group tour. Partake in the magic of a Swedish Christmas with the expertise of a local guide. While you explore Christmas markets, enjoy holiday delicacies and treats! Begin your tour in front of the Nobel Museum, where you'll meet your guide and dive into the Old Town's Christmas Market. Next, discover how Christmas is celebrated in Sweden, from the food, to the traditions and rituals. You will be able to soak up the Swedish Christmas spirit with a tasting of holiday dishes and treats. Disclaimers: - If you have any food allergies, please state them by DMing us. - the Christmas light displays start only around 3 pm as of November 15th, 2024 (so you won't see most lights turned on if you choose the morning tour) - the Old Town Christmas market is only open from November 22nd to December 23rd, but there are other markets we will refer you to if you join us before Nov 22nd.

Itinerary
Our guide (wearing a yellow vest or neon lanyard) will meet you in front of the entrance to the Nobel Prize Museum. Please arrive 10 mins prior to the starting time so you have time to check-in and even check out the Christmas market in more detail.
We will pass by the German Church and talk about typical Swedish Christmas traditions.
Try the sweet and sour candies made at this 1800's traditional candy shop.
Here, we will discuss the history of the world's tallest natural Christmas Tree and delve deeper into what kind of Christmas decorations are displayed in most Swedish households.
We make our way to the Christmas lights of the Moose Family outdoor installation, as these Nordic animals guide us on the way to the North Pole and Santa Claus.
We end our Xmas Experience at the King's Garden, where you can try out ice skating and a cup of mulled wine alongside some gingerbread cookies - a nice heartwarming ending to our Christmas time together.

Loredana did a fantastic job. She took us through all the Swedish Christmas traditions. It was cozy and we had a lovely time together.
This was a fantastic experience. One of the best Viator tours I’ve ever been on. It was fun, informative, and all around a great time.
Hi Kyle, thank you so much for this lovely review! We will make sure to let your guide, Loredana, know that you enjoyed your experience with her! We are very happy! Happy holidays, Frankie XperienceSthlm CEO
Excellent tour - interesting, educational d fun. Ana was such a nice and energetic tour guide - thanks for making the activity so special.
Thank you for leaving your feedback! We really appreciate it!
The guide was fairly good. Group size was manageable. We struggled to find the guide at the start an had to call. Another couple had the same issue. May need to consider a better starting point. Calling it a food experience is a stretch. We sampled 2 treats that were not fresh but came from a supermarket packet out of guide's backpack (ie biscuits). Glogg was actually quite nice. Disappointed the Christmas markets were closed. This was not easily identified in the booking that this would not be included.
Dear Samantha, Thank you for leaving your honest feedback! It helps us know what to work on and what to improve for next season. It means a lot to us that you took the time to leave such insightful comments. We will work on your feedback to deliver a better experience next time! Kindest regards, Frankie XperienceSthlm CEO
Anna is a fantastic tour guide. There was an even balance of sightseeing, food, drinks and social gatherings. She does a terrific job and makes you feel included throughout the whole experience. Would recommend completely.
Ana is a wonderful tourguide. She is warm, heartfelt and very attentive, also we had a great chat. The tour was a success, thanks to you Ana!! Ana took great care of us and was looking after us to her best ability! I warmly reccomend the tour and most of all Ana as your tourguide!
Frankie was a great and very knowledgeable guide. Also such a nice group to walk around with. Lots of stops to warm up out of the cold.
Frankie is so kind and knowledgeable. She answered all of our questions with such a positive outlook. I recommend her tour for everyone.
Great 2hour orientation tour and thanks to Ana, the brilliant guide we had, even though markets and shops were closed, she managed to give us the food treats all coming out of her magic backpack. Informative and funny, engaging and kind, Ana has been a revelation.
Dear Adonis, Thank you very much for your kind review! I shall let Ana know that you enjoyed your experience with us! Happy travels! Best regards, Frankie XperienceSthlm CEO
We really enjoyed the Route, as well as all the personal fun-facts our guide Ana provided! It was a pleasure to try the traditional snacks as well as hearing about the citys history.
