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 guide you through Stockholm by car and show you the highlights of the city & surroundings!
Overview of your Stockholm tour
When you have been on this tour, you will have a pretty good idea of the layout of Stockholm and an understanding of how Swedes live their life. This tour will cover many parts of the city - the Old Town (Gamla Stan) Södermalm as well as the green lush "Djurgarden" where many of my favourite museums are. You might even like to visit some of the beautiful Stockholm suburbs - maybe the UNESCO world heritage Woodland cemetery where Greta Garbo lies or why not the Drottningholm where our Crown Princess family reside. We will have the car all the time, to minimize walking. You will receive maps and information of the places we visit, as well as recommendations for good restaurants. I hope you will join me on this "Full Day Tour of Stockholm" so I can show you my home town! Welcome.
Your Stockholm tour itinerary
If you are ok with walking we will start off with a tour on foot through the mediaeval alley ways of the Old Town. Cars are restricted in the Old Town "Gamla Stan" and this is the best way of experiencing it. We will have the car nearby and continue the tour by car. On the way if you get peckish, we can stop for a Swedish "Fika" - a coffee and something sweet. We will drive to Djurgården where I suggest we stop for a visit at the Vasa Museum. If there is one museum you should not miss, then this is the one! If you feel like it you might like to stop for a traditional Swedish lunch and there are some lovely places on the way for this - maybe some meatballs? Maybe you would like for me to book a table at the famous Ulla Winbladh - where the locals love to eat? You will also have the possibility of seeing the suburbs of the city - why not a drive out to Drottningholm, Lidingö, Haga Park or the Woodland cemetery? You can decide when I have told you more about the choices.
