Guided walks in Stockholm 

let me show you my city!

 


I offer personal guided walks in and around Stockholm.

Most of my walks can be done all the year around.
And, if your into history - I'm your man!


City walks, coastal walks, island walks, countryside walks, or by kayak - you choose!

I know the perfect places to eat or just for a coffee.

HELLO !

About my concept


After visits to cities like London, Paris and New York, I have often wished that I could have had someone local to show me parts of the city, or surroundings which are not in the regular guide books - or not easy to find and access. 


I have lived in central Stockholm for over 40 years, and I have come to cherish and enjoy certain neighbourhoods and particular parts of Stockholm which offer both historical and serene nature experiences.

Bits and pieces of Stockholm that I want to share with you! By foot, by boat and by public transport.

Trips we do together for half a day (~4h) or for a full day (5-7h).


My tours/walks shouldn't perhaps include more than... six/seven people.


Please note, if you don't want to walk, or if you're in a hurry...and if you are max 3 people - we can always use my car, a Swedish Saab - convertible.


Welcome to Stockholm, I look forward to showing you around my city!
