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 or two (cruiser guests). We will cover the main sights of downtown and old town in 4 hours whilst doing quick stops and trying out various pastries and cakes. During these hours you really get a great overview of both modern and medieval history of Stockholm plus recharge like a local. 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 understood like the mysterious murder of Olof Palme, Stockholm syndrome or Stockholm bloodbath. 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 also 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 make many memories.

Day Two with Zenid — Stockholm This was day two of our tour with Zenid, and it did not disappoint. We visited the Vasa Museum, explored downtown Stockholm, and ate our way through the city. Something magical happened on this tour — my husband actually loved a museum. In the history of all the museums we've visited around the world, not one has managed to fully capture his attention (he still comes to every single one because he loves me, bless him). But he was completely obsessed with the Vasa. It helps that he's a nautical fanatic, and the ship itself is absolutely breathtaking. Zenid was basically Encyclopedia Britannica in human form, and his knowledge carried through the entire day — we learned so much about downtown Stockholm, the Vasa, and the food we ate along the way. I loved soaking up the history and fun facts about the city. If I had one piece of feedback, it would be: don't eat at the Vasa Museum itself — save your appetite for the food downtown!

Zenid was a great tour guide. He customized our "Fika like a Local" to match our interest and schedule. He was extremely knowledgeable, showed us things we would have otherwise missed but best of all mixed context and insight with interesting stories. He added a tour of the Vasa Museum as well as walked us through the new/old parts of Stockholm. He also educated us on Fika and allowed 2 Fikas during the tour. It was just the right mix of walking and resting. Lastly, he helped us arrange for transportation to/from the cruise port. Zenid was very responsive to all of our questions before and during the tour. Zenid is a professional and it shows. I would definitely book another tour with Zenid.

Your Stockholm tour itinerary

- After meeting up at the cruise terminal or your hotel we will start exploring the downtown area first and grab some buns on the go since it gets busy in the afternoons passing places of interest like the main shopping/pedestrian street, Concert house, first skyscrapers of Europe, King's street. . . - We will eventually reach the birthplace of Stockholm syndrome and then slowly cross over to the Old Town where we can make a short 2nd stop for coffee or snacks, possibly even lunch. - In the Old Town we will avoid the huge groups and stick to the side streets where you can learn about many of the Swedish kings. 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 and wrap up the tour with another cake :)
