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.

Overview of your Stockholm tour

Discover Uppsala – Sweden’s former royal capital and one of its most historic university cities – on a relaxed half-day trip from Stockholm. We meet at Stockholm Central Station and take a comfortable 30–40 minute train ride north. Upon arrival, we begin exploring immediately. Walk through charming old streets, admire the mighty Uppsala Cathedral, and learn how this city became a center of science, faith, and power. Hear stories of Vikings, royals, and world-changing scholars as we make our way toward the historic university quarter and cross the picturesque Fyrisån river. As a licensed Uppsala guide, I’ll share local legends, hidden corners and personal tips. We also pause for a classic Swedish fika at one of Uppsala’s most beloved patisseries – a delicious way to experience local life before returning to Stockholm inspired and enriched.

Your Stockholm tour itinerary

Meet your guide at Stockholm Central Station and board the train to Uppsala (round-trip ticket included; 30–40 minutes). On arrival, enjoy a classic Swedish fika at one of the city’s most beloved patisseries — the perfect introduction to local life and flavors. Then begin your guided walk through Sweden’s former royal capital and university city. Cross the Fyrisån river, admire the soaring cathedral, and explore atmospheric old streets and university courtyards while hearing stories of Vikings, kings, scholars and everyday Swedes. The guided portion ends in the historic center. You may return to Stockholm with the guide — or stay longer to keep exploring museums, cafés and gardens at leisure before taking the train back using the included ticket.
