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!

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 I hope feel a little bit at home in my city. I will also show you places you might like to come back to and investigate further, on your own - if you have the time. We will wander through on the cobbled stoned alleys of the old town where there is lots to see. Then we will make our way by boat to the green lush "Djurgarden" where many of my favourite museums are. You will receive maps and information on other places to visit on your own, as well as recommendations for good restaurants. I hope you will join me on this "Tour of Stockholm" so I can show you my home town! Welcome.
Your Stockholm tour itinerary
We will meet up at a designated meeting point. Now our tour starts and there is plenty to see before we reach the old city "Gamla Stan" with the Royal Castle, the Nobel museum, the Cathedral etc. Once we have seen "enough" of the old town, we board the ferry boat over to Djurgården. On Djurgarden you can find the Vasa museum, the ABBA museum, the open air museum "Skansen" as well as the new Viking museum "Vikingaliv". On the way if you feel like it we will stop for a nice Swedish "fika" (a coffee and something sweet) or if you want something more substantial, then lunch - maybe some Swedish meatballs with lingonberries? If there is one museum I absolutely recommend you to visit, it is the Vasa. I have a lot to tell you about this terrible Swedish disaster, of which we now have created a fabulous museum. If we have enough time we can make our way back to the hustle and bustle of the center of the city and finish off with some window shopping or maybe visit one of our food markets.
