Welcome to Stockholm, my city! I was born in Västerås, 94 km from Stockholm. I came to the capital for the first time when I was five years old and remember the day like it was yesterday. Instant love. After finishing school, I went abroad to work as a tour guide. For 25 years, I traveled around Europe and Asia. When I was 49, I moved to Stockholm. It is its proximity to water that makes me love Stockholm. On one side of the city lies Mälaren, Sweden's third largest freshwater lake. On the other side lies the Baltic Sea with its brackish seawater. Stockholm is built on 14 islands that are connected by 57 bridges. Each of these islands has its own atmosphere and unique style and manners. Stockholm is a city open to different perspectives and new ideas. A vibrant destination where innovations in music, design, fashion and technology mix well with museums, monuments, statues, green parks and the islands of the archipelago. Fresh air is abundant. In my spare time, I like to travel, preferably with my friends, but sometimes it's nice to travel alone too. I like to read, explore new museums and try new restaurants. Eating with others is a moment of conviviality, of sharing: a ritual where an exchange of tastes, aromas and interests takes place. Another thing I love about Stockholm is that it is so easy to get around. One can walk, take a bus or a boat. I like to share my experiences and I'm flexible. I think it would be great to help you organize your trip according to your interests and wishes. Let me take care of you and yours during a visit to Stockholm. I look forward to meeting you! I am a qualified Tour Guide. I have an authorization made by the Stockholm City Council. I am authorized to guide in most museums and palaces in Stockholm and Greater Stockholm. I also have the license to do a guided tour inside the City Hall. I also have a license to conduct tours in Uppsala and I'm a professional tree hugger (Shinrin Yoku - Forest bathing). I have a driving license, but I am not a driver. I can arrange a hired vehicle with professional english speaking drivers where needed.

Your Stockholm tour itinerary

Your tour begins at the cruise terminal in Stadsgården. First, we drive up to Fjällgatan on Södermalm for a breathtaking view of the city and harbor. We continue past Medborgarplatsen and Hornsgatan, then along the southern waterfront to Västerbron and across to Kungsholmen. After a scenic ride along Norr Mälarstrand, we stop at the iconic City Hall. From there, we pass Central Station, Hötorget and Nybroviken before cruising down Strandvägen to the elegant Diplomatic Quarter. A detour through Djurgården brings us to Bellmansro and a short walk through the charming Old Djurgårdsstad. We visit the Vasa Museum, then head to Allmänna Gränd for a ferry ride to the Old Town. There, we walk through narrow alleys, explore hidden courtyards and the Royal Palace area. You’ll also have some free time to shop or enjoy a coffee before returning to the ship.
