How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
Stockholm is ready to welcome you with open arms as you join one of our local Stockholm hosts to familiarise yourself with the goings-on in the city. You’ll learn how to navigate the city just like a local - no need to whip out your maps app.
Enjoy immersing yourself in the city and you’ll quickly forget that you’re a tourist as you get to know Stockholm’s personality, its landmarks, and hidden gems.
Your host is ready to show you to some of their favorite spots - whether that’s restaurants, hangouts or gems frequented by locals, you’ll get to see them from a local point of view.
They can’t wait to explore the city with you, sharing their recommendations and throwing some secret tips in too - like the best spot to have fika, just over there.
You could go with the flow and stroll through the city or opt for a more direct approach and squeeze in as much as you can with your few hours together. Whatever your vibe, we’ll stick to it.

Zenid was great! He picked us up at our hotel and went straight into sharing knowledge about the history of Stockholm and Sweden. In just a short period of time, I felt I got a crash course on everything from the Swedish monarchy to architectural details in the old town. Zenid was smart, engaging, and very pleasant to be around. Highly recommend.
