Personal city walks for small private groups

The best way to see Stockholm is on foot. We specialize in arranging Historic City Walks of the Old Town (Gamla Stan) and the Southern Island (Södermalm) in English for small private groups (max 10 people) who wish to explore the city along with family and friends away from the busy pre-packaged sightseeing group tours.

The style of these walks is meant to be relaxed and conversational allowing you to take in the history as well as unique atmosphere of the surroundings. This also gives you a better overall feeling for this lovely city on water while getting to know a local native. Your guide is Maria Lindberg Howard, a 4th generation Stockholmer with a great love for her home town (see picture below).
