Welcome to Stockholm, my city! I was born in Västerås, 94 km from Stockholm. I came to the capital for the first time when I was five years old and remember the day like it was yesterday. Instant love. After finishing school, I went abroad to work as a tour guide. For 25 years, I traveled around Europe and Asia. When I was 49, I moved to Stockholm. It is its proximity to water that makes me love Stockholm. On one side of the city lies Mälaren, Sweden's third largest freshwater lake. On the other side lies the Baltic Sea with its brackish seawater. Stockholm is built on 14 islands that are connected by 57 bridges. Each of these islands has its own atmosphere and unique style and manners. Stockholm is a city open to different perspectives and new ideas. A vibrant destination where innovations in music, design, fashion and technology mix well with museums, monuments, statues, green parks and the islands of the archipelago. Fresh air is abundant. In my spare time, I like to travel, preferably with my friends, but sometimes it's nice to travel alone too. I like to read, explore new museums and try new restaurants. Eating with others is a moment of conviviality, of sharing: a ritual where an exchange of tastes, aromas and interests takes place. Another thing I love about Stockholm is that it is so easy to get around. One can walk, take a bus or a boat. I like to share my experiences and I'm flexible. I think it would be great to help you organize your trip according to your interests and wishes. Let me take care of you and yours during a visit to Stockholm. I look forward to meeting you! I am a qualified Tour Guide. I have an authorization made by the Stockholm City Council. I am authorized to guide in most museums and palaces in Stockholm and Greater Stockholm. I also have the license to do a guided tour inside the City Hall. I also have a license to conduct tours in Uppsala and I'm a professional tree hugger (Shinrin Yoku - Forest bathing). I have a driving license, but I am not a driver. I can arrange a hired vehicle with professional english speaking drivers where needed.

An authentic taste of Swedish life, history and hospitality
Overview of your Stockholm tour
Step away from the postcards and into the living story of Stockholm. This tour combines the city’s historic layers with the warmth of a traditional Swedish home lunch. Together we travel by local transport to the leafy neighborhood of Stureby, experiencing everyday Stockholm along the way. Before arriving at my home, we explore the charming slopes of Södermalm – with hidden gardens, wooden houses and stories of the people who once built the city. At the table, you are invited to enjoy a classic Swedish meal: pickled herring, boiled potatoes, meatballs with lingonberries and more. Over food, drinks and perhaps a snaps song, we talk about Swedish life, traditions and history – past and present. A personal, cultural and truly memorable Stockholm experience.
Your Stockholm tour itinerary
We meet in central Stockholm or at your hotel. From there we travel together by subway toward the southern part of the city. On Södermalm, we take a short guided walk through one of the city’s green and historic neighborhoods, with views, local architecture and insights into everyday life past and present. We then continue by local transport to Stureby, a calm residential district outside the city center. At my home, you will enjoy a traditional Swedish lunch inspired by the classic midsummer table. During the meal, we share stories about Swedish culture, traditions and daily life. After lunch, we travel back to central Stockholm by public transport.
