What you’ll do

Think of this personalized experience with one of our local Stockholm hosts like spending half a day with a friend. What better way to explore Stockholm than with a pal by your side?

You’ll join one of our local Stockholm hosts as they show you around the city you want to see, at a pace set by you. Do you see yourself strolling along the historic cobbled streets of Gamla Stan, or would you rather explore a trendy neighborhood where you can pop into Scandi-chic boutiques and vintage stores?

Maybe you’d like to see the beautiful Royal Palace (not much of an original name, but the Baroque architecture makes up for it), or you’d prefer to take a jaunt to leafy Djurgården Island to see its stately homes and the astounding Vasa Museum.

You could stroll through a street food market to pick and choose from an array of Swedish tastes and treats, did someone say Västerbotten? (it's cheese!) or slow down and fika with a cinnamon bun.

Just let us know what you’d like to do, and we’ll try our best to make it happen.

What travelers think of this experience

Scott May 2025

Imagine you had a good friend who happened to be an expert on Stockholm's history and culture. Your friend then joins you for four hours on your vacation in Stockholm to take you around and make sure you know all the points of interest, local customs and things to do during the rest of your stay. That was exactly our experience with Zenid from City Unscripted. He was friendly, engaging and super-informative. From the history of Stockholm's formation to modern-day events, Zenid shared with us the behind-the-scenes details of Stockholm that allowed us to really get to know the city. The details included hidden surprises in the historic Gamla Stan, to the interesting facts surrounding the bank robbery that led to the term “Stockholm Syndrome”. After our tour he sent us a long list of restaurants to try, bars to visit and local spots to explore. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Stockholm, and Zenid was a big part of the reason why.

A good guide makes all the difference! Zenid was very knowledgeable, had a bagful of trivia and a great sense of humor. We had a lovely 4 hour walking tour, and thankfully a sunny day with great views of the city from vantage points. I would highly recommend this tour!
