Hello - my name is Jessica and welcome to Sweden - Välkommen! I am so happy you have chosen to travel to Sweden and visit Stockholm - my home city where I have lived half of my life. I will be travelling in Europe this winter and will be back mid-June 2026 and look forward to showing you Stockholm then. Whether you are here for a long visit or just for short while - I would love to show you my home town and introduce you to our Swedish culture and traditions whilst showing you some unique parts of Stockholm and its surroundings, places that are off the beaten track as well as all the "must sees"! I would like to offer you a very Swedish experience. If, before your trip, you would like to get an in depth knowledge of Swedish Culture and Stockholm I have published a book about Stockholm introducing foreigners, expats and diplomats to 'the Swedish way of life' - you will find it on Amazon under the title "Stockholm, Sweden - At Your Fingertips". I also had the honour of guiding Rick Steves in Stockholm in 2023 as he needed to update his book after the pandemic. As a daughter of a Swedish diplomat I have lived abroad half of my life - in Belgium, Kenya, Israel, Greece etc. and what a fantastic world this is! Now I would like to share with you "my world" here in Sweden. I would love to show you the sights and sounds of Stockholm. Experience the old and new City. If you have already been here before, why not let me show you the tranquil suburb of Lidingö - away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Maybe a hike through one of our nature reserves, visit a farm from the 18th century and for the hardy, maybe a dip in the lake. Are there other places you would like to visit or just a tailor-made shopping tour in the city of Stockholm? No problem, just let me know. When I am not out guiding or with my family, I work with expats, newcomers and diplomats introducing them to our Swedish culture, ways and traditions - helping them feel at home here in Sweden. I would like to show you Sweden at its best, so you can get the most out of your visit here in Stockholm. Join me for a very Swedish experience! I look forward to welcoming you to Stockholm and its surroundings!

Let me show you the beautiful island of Lidingö by car
Overview of your Stockholm tour
Lidingö is a 15 minute drive away from the hustle and bustle of the Stockholm city center. Welcome to Lidingö and discover this green and lush island full of surprises. This is the birth place of Raoul Wallenberg as well as that of the AGA stove, invented by the Swedish Nobel laureate Gustaf Dalén. The famous sculptor Carl Milles built his home here and Greta Garbo's first film was shot here on the island. Also the beautiful Högberga gård overlooking the archipelago and inlet to Stockholm, built in 1911 as a private home. By car we will drive around the island - see the country side of Sweden with the forests and fields and even an old Viking rune stone. We will see an old farm from the 18th century and then visit a beautiful manor house built in 1775. We will end the tour with a walk around the home of Carl Milles with his fabulous sculpture garden. If it is warm and summer, we can stop off for a swim in the sea or lake.
Your Stockholm tour itinerary
I will pick you up by car in the city of Stockholm. We will head out towards the island of Lidingö and take the bridge over - with stops on the way to show you places of interest. Somewhere on the way we will stop for the inevitable "fika", a traditional Swedish coffee with a bun-break. We will drive out to the picturesque "Elfvikslandet" with its manor house built in 1775. Here we can also visit the animals; sheep, horses and goats. We will also stop for lunch at a quaint restaurant. If it is warm we can sit outside in the sun! After this, (if it is summer and weather permitting) we have the option of going for a swim in the lake or sea or just take a lovely walk in the country side. We end of at "Millesgården" with the sculptured terraces and the museum as well as Carl Milles' private home. Then I will drive you back to the city.
