The 10 Best Tours in Stockholm, Stockholm County

August 9, 2021 Frederic Celentano

The capital city of Sweden combines modern attractions with historic charm. Kick off your stay with visits to Stockholm’s two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Royal Palace Drottningholm (the residence of the royal family) and the magical Skogskyrkogården, or Woodland Cemetery. Stroll the cobblestone streets of Old Town and over the picturesque bridges that span the city’s canals. The 19th-century Skansen was the world’s first open-air museum and is still a premier place to learn about Swedish history.

I joined Rene for a hike in the nature reserve near Stockholm. It was thoroughly enjoyable and a great introduction to the Swedish outdoors. We cooked outdoors on a campfire, and Rene has a focus on sustainability and taking care of nature in all that he does, from the food we ate to the utensils we used. He was also full of information, well prepared, and the trip ran smoothly and on time. The scenery was lovely - we saw two peaceful lakes, forest, and even a few deer.

The course opened my senses to how, complex, wonderful and plentiful the outdoors is. I was amazed by the amount of information and time to practice that was effectively conveyed in such a short amount of time. William the guide was impressively knowledgeable and passionate about nature and its craft, taught me the core skills of survival - shelter, water, fire, and food which has made me a bit more competent in taking care of my survival needs. After this course one will see the outdoors with new eyes – such as which plants you can eat and what trees can be turned into a fire kit while always keeping a deep and respectful relationship with nature. If you are ready to transform your experience with the outdoors, do it with True Nature Sweden

The south-island of Stockholm has evolved from being the industrial area of the city to a cultural mix of art, environmental development, religious acceptance and social awareness. On this tour we will enjoy the views of Stockholm from several landscape points, walk around beautiful gardens full of sculptures, mingle with the locals at the markets… Södermalm is a prime example for every European city to follow: the perfect combination of social acceptance, cultural flow, economic power and green development. We will start at Thor´s fountain and talk about Viking mythology, as it's the cradle of Swedish culture. This way the cultural evolution of the city will be understood from its roots. Update on Covid-19. Following the measurements of the government, and considering health, the guide will keep the distance as much as possible. The guide will have gloves, face mask, and hand sanitizer.

The favourite part of the tour was to know more about the “old Stockholm life” and to know more about the culture. The guide was top (5 stars) and he helped us with some restaurants to try the traditional food and to try the famous fika at 15pm!! I really recommend to the future visitors to do the private tour with these fantastic guides!
