Be it Nobel with its splendour, the Old Town with its medieval grace, Skansen with its diversity or Vasa with its authenticity, it would be my pleasure to be your guide along the way. My goal is to inform, entertain and above all impress so you leave beautiful Stockholm with a yearning to return and do it all over again! I’m a well travelled Swedish Canadian who has called Stockholm home for the last 30 years. My diploma from my Licensed Stockholm Guide accreditation proudly hangs beside my Bachelor of Commerce and Masters in Business Administration degrees. Experienced guide, working for many years with one of Sweden’s largest global industrial companies. Now combining my love of Stockholm with my love for guiding.. English is my mother tongue. Swedish is a close second. Spanish in third place. I understand both French and German well but the conversation level is rather rusty.. When not guiding guests around our beautiful city, I can be found on Söder with Alfred, my golden retriever, in Gamla Stan dancing Flamenco , improving my Bridge or visiting one of Stockholm’s 100 plus museums.. If you have plans for visiting our lovely city, let me know! I can help you tick the boxes you already have or supply you with those boxes. We can walk it, bus it, metro it, boat it or drive in style - up to you.. Let's get planning!

The Big Four - Door to Door Comfort with Car and Driver
Overview of your Stockholm tour
Let us discover together this charming city with a combination of museum tours and scenic drives. All in the comfort of a business class car with private driver. Today's goal is to see and experience as much as possible of one of the most beautiful capital cities in the world. This includes the Big Four (City Hall, Old Town, Royal Palace, Vasa Museum), my favourite city sites which together provide a comprehensive knowledge of this northern beauty. We may even squeeze in a light lunch or fika at the market or a favourite restaurant. Travelling by car we can extend our tour geographically providing even more insight into the life and culture of Stockholm, Sweden and the Swedish people! Just sit back and enjoy the ride!

Tour encompassed seeing the main sites of downtown Stockholm while trying to suit the needs of seniors with some mobility issues. The tour based on this objective was terrific and exceeded our expectations completely. The ability to drive us right up to the places we were seeing was so beneficial in allowing us to spend our time and energy seeing the site itself. Our guide Carolyn was great. She placed everything we saw in perfect perspective and then added historical context plus some personal perspective to each of the places we visited. All of our many questions were answered to the fullest extent and then some. Afterwards we felt the tour was a smashing success from our viewpoint. We have done many tours around the world and this experience rates at the top of our list. We recommend the guide, the tour and the way we undertook the tour, all were perfect for us.

Carolyn was an incredible tour guide and was a wealth of information. She took care of all the planning...transportation, tickets, navigating the day etc. It started to rain at one point but she was quick to change the itinerary with the driver so we could explore places inside rather than being outside walking in the rain. Carolyn was so welcoming and nice where it felt like we were friends by the end of the tour. We would highly recommend Carolyn and would hire her again next time we are in Stockholm. Carloyn is one reason why we fell in love with the city as she shared her knowledge and passion for the area!
Your Stockholm tour itinerary
This tour includes all entrance fees and transportation. Let us begin with a Photo Op extraordinaire! First stop will be on a cliff with an incredible view of 8 of the city's 14 islands - basically a city map IRL ! A scenic drive through a number of these islands leads us to a tour of the City Hall ,home to the Nobel Banquet attended by the world's probably most curious, intelligent and dedicated dinner guests! We continue to the Old Town and a jaunt ( by foot) over the cobblestone streets where we will learn of the happenings of the last 1000 years . A tour of the Royal Palace is next on the agenda along with an SRHRT ( Swedish Royal History Run Through). More scenic sights on the way to the Vasa Museum . This warship sank to the bottom of the harbour 15 minutes into its maiden voyage - Oddly , lucky for us! Our visit comes to a close and you will be dropped off as agreed beforehand, hopefully now possessing a better understanding of Stockholm , its history and its people!
