The Highlight of Stockholm (3 hrs)

This is the perfect tour if you have never been to Stockholm before. You will get to experience the beauty of the city whilst we walk from island to island. We will also use the ferry boats and/or buses.

Meeting Point
At you hotel (if it is centrally located)
Centrally in Stockholm
We will meet up at your hotel (if it is centrally located) and head towards the cobbled stoned alleys of the medieval old town "Gamla Stan" where there is lots to see.
We pass Gustav Adolfs square - here we have the Opera House as well as the Foreign Office and the Residence of our Prime Minister. From this vantage point we have a spectacular view of the Parliament and the Royal Palace.
We walk over the bridges, while I tell you about the places you see on the way, over to the old town "Gamla Stan". Maybe you would like to stop for a "fika"! This is a traditional Swedish coffee break with a cardamom bun!
After our visit in the old town we board a boat that takes us over to the island of Djurgården. On this island we head to the Vasa museum, which we will visit and where I will guide you inside the museum so you do not miss any of the highlights.
If you are staying longer I can provide you with maps as well as other useful information such as recommendations for good restaurants and other places to visit.
At your hotel
We end the tour at your hotel or if you decide you wish to end somewhere else, I am totally flexible - you might like to stay on and have a nice lunch at a recommended restaurant.
Ending Point
At your hotel (if it is centrally located)

About Tour Guide Jessica D.
Hello - my name is Jessica and welcome to Sweden - Välkommen!
I am so happy you have chosen to travel to my home city 'Stockholm'. Even if you are only here for a short while - I would like to 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!
If you wish to go in-depth about life in Sweden then I have written a book under the title "Stockholm, Sweden - At Your Fingertips" and it can be found on Amazon.
I have lived abroad half of my life - in 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. 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.
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!
