Zenid was knowledgeable and informative. He presented the tour with a great sense of humor and was so engaging that even our jet lagged teens had a great time. Highly recommend!!

Hello there potential guest, You are about to read a short description about myself. Come and meet me - a person who loves his job - a former journalist who became a tour guide. I have been guiding for the last 10 years in Stockholm and have done over 5000 different tours in this beautiful city. I love using my journalistic experience and education to deliver stories in an engaging yet informative way that will make you, the customer, remember it for a longer time as well. Making everyone feel welcomed and included is my ultimate goal during tours, and at the same time I try to be as laid-back as possible and open to any questions you might have. I am also like you - a traveler who has been to over 50 countries so far and have no intent of stopping anytime soon so I'm sure we will have plenty of topics to discuss, be it about your previous or future travels or simply the amazing history of Stockholm itself. Master of Arts in Journalism, FPZG, Zagreb, Croatia I can not guide inside of the City Hall but can guide in the Vasa museum. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Stockholm tour
This very tour will be ideal for those of you who are visiting Stockholm for only a day (cruiser guests) or school/student/business groups. We will cover the main sights of Gamla stan/old town in 2,5 hours. During these hours you really get a great overview of medieval history of Stockholm. Walk with me through some of the priciest streets of this amazing city and listen to the stories you might have heard about but never really connected to Swedish historical events. For those of you interested in some royal gossip I have a special treat, which has an interesting outcome on modern day Swedish history. We'll obviously visit one of the largest and best-preserved medieval city centers in Europe: Stockholm's Gamla Stan. This is where it all started, back in the year 1252. You'll learn about our most important kings—their names are easy to remember—and hear about the famous Vikings plus learn how to read an actual runestone.

My wife and I had a great tour of Stockholm’s city center with Zenit. He is very knowledgeable, funny and friendly. His tour was a great introduction to Stockholm for a couple of first time visitors! Highly recommend!
Zafar L.United States
Zenid gave us such a nice tour of Old Town/ Gamla Stan and a few historically significant landmarks outside the Island. He is friendly and knowledgeable. We talked about history, architecture, migration and Sweden’s place in Europe and the rest of the World from a historical perspective as well as the present day. He was able to engage my children as well. It was a great way to spend 2.5 hours. Thank you Zenid! The Latif family.
Richard K.United States
Zenid was spectacular! So knowledgable for a young guy! We learned so many fascinating facts about Stockholm! He knew so much about the US and he’s never been! Top notch tour and in 2.5 hours! Usually my husband and kids limits! I’d hire Zenid to come on tour in another country he knows so much! Thanks!
Sigrid E.Germany
We had an outstanding tour with an excellent guide. Zenid was extremely knowledgeable, well prepared, and shared fascinating insights throughout the entire experience. What made the tour especially enjoyable was his ability to moderate our little group in a very pleasant and professional way, keeping everything engaging, informative, and perfectly paced. A truly memorable experience, highly recommended!

We give Zenid H. our highest recommendation. He was prompt, well prepared, and satisfied all of our individual requests. Zenid has extraordinary deep comprehension of Stockholm old town and can communicate it to the clients effectively. Moreover, Zenid's detailed understanding of a wide range of subjects from movies to American football made the tour very enjoyable. He is a well respected tour guide having been asked by Rick Steve's to review and contribute to Rick's writings.
Your Stockholm tour itinerary

We'll also unearth one of the best-kept secrets in the city. - You'll walk along the narrowest street of this amazing city and learn why it's a tourist magnet - and I'll also tell you a secret that most people do not know at all.
