Very informative tour. Nice and easy walk around Old Town. Highly recommend, quick way to learn all about Stockholm and its history.
Kiki, will give you lots of historical facts but also gives you plenty of current information and is willing to help you out through out your stay .
We loved our tour with Kiki back in September. We had a small group of only four total, which really helped to be able to ask questions and appreciate the tour. She gave us excellent recommendations on places in the area to shop or eat, and perhaps more importantly places not worth going. Absolutely worth it. Thank you so much!
High praise indeed! I appreciate your kind words and am very pleased that you enjoyed my tour. Thank you so much!
Kiki was fantastic. The walking tour highlighted parts of Stockholm we would never have found. Really interesting and fun.
Thank you for making it through the very cold and windy conditions that day. I hope you enjoyed your stay! Happy 2026 to you!
Kiki is so knowledgeable, friendly and fun! This was a perfect tour to start our trip in Stockholm. She gave us so much insight and also lots of handy tips on what museums and activities to do and what to miss, and restaurant tips as well.

Thank you so much. It was a pleasure meeting both of you. Have a lovely holiday season!
Kiki was our tour guide and was outstanding! She took us through Old Town at a good pace for us and was really knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour on your first day in Stockholm. It will make the rest of your trip more interesting because of what you learn on Day One.

FANTASTIC tour! Kiki is an amazing tour guide. Lots of fun, so knowledgeable, patient with answering any questions; all at a great pace with some great suggestions of other places in Stockholm to visit, cafe and restaurant suggestions. I was honestly sad that our tour had to end! Thank You Kiki!

We loved this walking tour. We had a small group and the pace was just right. Kiki is very knowledgeable and helpful, and we learned lots about wonderful Stockholm that we wouldn’t have otherwise.
