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!

A Stroll Through Stockholm full of History, Charm & Swedish Flavors
Overview of your Stockholm tour
A Stroll Through Stockholm – The Ultimate Foodie Tour with a Taste of History! Get ready to fall in love with Stockholm’s charm, flavors, and fascinating history! We’ll explore the city’s most beautiful sights while weaving through the cobblestoned streets of the medieval Old Town, Gamla Stan. You’ll discover hidden gems, local legends, and the authentic heart of the city before crossing over to Södermalm, where we’ll finish with a delicious lunch or dinner at a one-of-a-kind restaurant. There, you’ll enjoy a mix of Swedish specialties, from classic comfort foods to flavors you won’t find anywhere else. Feeling adventurous? Let's try some traditional Swedish dishes—don’t worry, no surströmming (the world’s stinkiest fish) on the menu! Join me on this fun and flavorful journey through Stockholm’s past and present. Welcome – Välkommen! If you’re staying longer, I’ll be happy to share my favorite tips on what to see, do, and (of course) where to eat next!
Your Stockholm tour itinerary
Let’s meet up right in the city center — at your hotel or another spot we agree on. We’ll begin in the Old Town, “Gamla Stan,” where every cobblestone has a story to tell. Wandering past the Royal Palace, the Nobel Museum, and the Cathedral, and soak up that cozy medieval atmosphere that makes this part of town so special. We'll then head over to Södermalm — Stockholm’s more creative neighbourhood. By then, we’ll probably be ready for something to eat and drink - a traditional Swedish meal (meal not included in the tour price), featuring some of our favourite local dishes like: SOS (any guesses what that means?) Skagenröra Bleak roe toast Öland dumplings Swedish meatballs A classic fish dish Some wine or beer And of course, a snaps — our traditional aquavit! No Swedish dinner is complete without a snaps song, so I’ll make sure you’ve got the lyrics and can sing along with me. 🎶 Join me for a relaxed and fun day of Stockholm sights, stories, and tastes — just like a local would do it!
