Our group of 10 spent two half-days with Jessica, and we highly recommend her as an authoritative, knowledgeable, personable guide for Stockholm. From the outset, it seemed as if we with a long-time friend, except that this friend was an expert on Stockholm and had organized our time so that we could experience many important and interesting things. It always amazes me how much richer time in a new city is when you experience it with a great tour guide, and Jessica certainly fit that profile. There is simply no way that you could learn as much on your own. Jessica was a great host. Her communications throughout the process were excellent, and she arrived early on both of our tour days. I have already recommended Jessica to a colleague who will be visiting Stockholm later this summer.

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 feel very much at home in the city. I will show you places off the beaten track as well as all the "must see's". On the first day we will wander through the old town "Gamla Stan" and see all the sights here and then make our way by boat to the green lush island of "Djurgarden" where many of my favourite museums are. We will visit the Vasa Museum. We will visit the City Hall where the Nobel festivities take place.

What an incredible two days we had with Jessica in and around Stockholm. She is a great communicator, very accommodating, and very knowledgeable. She was very flexible in customizing our visit to our desires and took us on a fantastic two day adventure in the wonderland that is Stockholm. When in Stockholm again, we will definitely book with Jessica is she is available.
We certainly made the right choice of guides when we selected Jessica. She is very friendly, accommodating, and so knowledgeable. Jessica made our two day visit to Stockholm very interesting and memorable. Thanks Jessica.

Your Stockholm tour itinerary
Day 1 Meet up at your hotel or wherever else we agree upon in the city. We will make our way on foot to "Gamla Stan" (Gamla Stan) with the Royal Palace and the lovely narrow cobbled streets full of history. Somewhere on the way we will stop for a break and a Swedish "fika" - coffee and bun. We will then take a boat over to Djurgården where we have Skansen, the ABBA and the Vasa museum, which I suggest we visit. Lunch then back in to the city and a visit to the food court (not open Sundays). Here you can have lunch/dinner. Day 2 We walk or take public transport to the City Hall. After a guided tour we will hop on a vintage boat (1hr) out to the Drottningholm Palace and its beautiful gardens. Onboard you can eat lunch. We return by boat to the city. When we are too tired to walk we can take public transport which is very efficient and easy in the city. We will finish off back at your hotel, unless you decide otherwise.
