Itinerary
We will start the activity at the City Hall at 10:00 and get 45 minutes listening to its rich history around the gardens, enjoying the view together. We cannot go into the building itself as it is a government building that organises its own excursions, and on many occasions it can’t guarantee availability to its visitors.
We will walk through the Old Town of Stockholm (10.45 to 12.00) and visit the most important landmarks, such as the Cathedral, the Royal Palace, main square, the Nobel Prize museum… and anything that you want to visit.
We will have a short break (12:00 to 12:30) to take some coffee or tea, or a light sandwich.
We will take the ferry together to get to the Vasa museum.
This amazing warship is the best preserved vessel of the 17th century, in our 1 hour tour you will get to understand everything that happened.

Hands down, the best tour we had in Stockholm. Joanes was simply outstanding and a treasure trove of knowledge and historical data. He was tireless, engaging, and smart. Our visit to the City Hall and especially, the Vasa museum was made even more memorable and unforgettable by virtue of Joanes' expert and meticulous narrative and attention to detail. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and highly recommend asking for Joanes to be your guide to discover and get to know Stockholm in a more meaningful way.
Johannes was an experienced, knowledgeable, friendly, engaging, fun, talented guide! I had reservations to book without knowing much about the tour, however was very pleased with the overall experience. He was an expert and allowed plenty of time to fully experience the tour, as well as being timely! Thank you, Johannnes!
Carlota is one of the best guides I have ever met, if not the best in my more than 50 years of traveling. The tour allows you to learn about Swedish history and culture quickly.
Carlota was amazing! Best guide I have ever had. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and so kind and caring. Highly recommend her. The Vasa museum is very interesting.
It is a fun filled, and fact filled tour of Old Town Stockholm. I learned things about Stockholm and Sweden that I never knew before. Our tour guide, Kyra was very knowledgeable, accommodating, friendly, helpful and extremely passionate about her job. She was the best tour guide that I have had in a while.
Our guide was fantastic! However while in the vasa museum, almost too much detail. In general, did not feel we got enough of Stockholm. Walking was grueling and standing for long periods while hearing details was as well. Our feet were killing us in part all the cobblestone. City hall was historically interesting but not very memorable.
Fantastic tour. Our guide Kyra was phenomenal. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Kept us constantly engaged.
Great tour. Would definately recommend. Our guide Kyra was absolutely terrific and gave us lots of good recommendations for the rest of our trip!!
Excellent walking tour with a very knowledgeable guide. Excellent overview of the city and islands. The Vasa Museum is a not miss!!
Marta is an exceptional guide. She was knowledgeable and provided details of historical and current events. We were not originally planning to visit the Vasa Museum but it was included - and so glad we went, it is amazing.
