Description

When Stockholm's museums have locked their ancient doors, when the stores are all closed and people have retreated to the safety of their homes, this is when the empty streets of Stockholm's Old Town are handed over to the spirits, legends and to us. Stockholm's past will come to life on this 1,5 hour walking tour.

The finale was creepy and fantastic!

This excursion was really fun, entertaining and historical. We brought our Swedish friends along and they loved it as well. It made a perfect night out. Thank you.

Can’t recommend it enough!

Super fun! Did it solo on a random Tuesday (18 Aug), there were around 20-30 people in the group I think, but such a great time, so entertaining. Even during the daytime, which supposedly is less spooky, there was still a lot of spook to be had! 👻 Best part is the guide! Rhys (rhymes with Greece!!) was amazing 😊 and really made it immersive. I did not book the option with dinner after and I kind of regret it haha, it was so fun. Can’t recommend it enough!

Awesome experience!

We took a 7:30 tour with Reese and it was fantastic. Our kids are 10 and 13 and we’d never done a tour like this before. We had a blast. Reese brought an incredible energy to the whole experience. Highly recommend!

A great evening event...

A great evening event spent with an engaging knowledgeable ghost walker. With tales of local history, ghoulish humour and the mystery of the dark crypt at the bottom of the candlelit steps.

Entertaining city walk

A very fun city walk with a good mix of facts, myth and entertainment that suited even our teenagers. The guide Kristoffer kept the right pace and included us in his storytelling.

Callum and the Gamla Stan Ghost Walk and Historical Tour were a big hit!

Callum was a brilliant ghost tour guide! We've been on tours like this all over the world and Callum is as good as it gets. He knows how to work the crowd, he knows his stuff, and he keeps the group fully engaged and entertained. We love historical ghost tours in a city we've never visited as it gives some great context for the rest of the trip, but most of all it's just a great time. Callum is super informative, funny, charming and knows everybody likes to be scared.
