About Tour Guide Sophie S.
Hi there! My name is Sophie and I am a true Stockholmer - born and raised in the beautiful capital of Sweden ("Capital of Scandinavia"). I am currently going through the official courses to become an Authorized Stockholm Guide!
I have four years experience working as a Guide and have done everything from Private Tours, Old Town Tours, City Tours to Bike Tours, Bus Tours, Segway Tours where I have had the pleasure to work with both companies as well as individual bookings. Nationality wise I have met people and made friends from all over the world. Maybe you are my next friend? :)
Language wise I have mostly worked with German speaking tourism, but naturally also English ones. My family is from Sweden (up in the northern woods) / Netherlands / Peru / Germany / France / Finland, so there are many languages I speak and understand on varied levels - although tour wise I am sticking to German and English (+ Swedish of course)!
Why should I guide you?
Well, I am first of all local: raised in the inner city neighborhood of Östermalm, so if there is something I know in life - it's Stockholm! Further on, I am experienced and have many years not only in tourism and as a Guide, but in customer service - meaning I am very flexible and customer oriented. It's simple: Tell me where you want to go or what your Swedish dreams look like - and we will make it happen!
My goal is to give you the best experience possible in Stockholm and for you to revisit many, many times. There is so much beauty to the country of IKEA, and I hope to show you around!
Välkommen till Stockholm! Welcome to Stockholm! Willkommen in Stockholm!
