This was a great experience! Bengt was a knowledgeable, personable, engaging guide who taught me so much about the history of Stockholm and Sweden. He welcomed my many questions and we were never rushed. Walking tours are a fun way to learn and experience, as well as get oriented to a place. Sad when this tour came to an end! Highly recommend.

It was a real pleasure to make a visit with Philip - he is a wonderful guide with knowledge, tact, intuition, personal charm and great sens of humor combined with passion for the job and the place where he lives. He gave us informations exactly adapted to our interests and our needs (such as vegetarian restaurants or food market) and he conjured up summer in the middle of winer-spring with his way of being. He infected us with love for Stockholm. I couldn't have wished for a better guide who found his place in our hearts. Thank you, Phill!

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.

Most people know about Alfred Nobel and his dynamite, and maybe about Arrhenius and his water equilibrium equations, but few are aware of the other many characters. There is one place on earth in which 9 chemical elements were discovered together, and that is in... Stockholm. All of us at our company are students, and more specifically, engineers! We are aeronautic, civil, biomedical, chemical, software and data science engineers, so we already have a passion for science!
