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.

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.

Zenid at City Unscripted was a great guide whose knowledge of Stockholm and its history was wonderful. He introduced us to the city in a way that allowed us to explore it further the next day. He is truly an exceptional guide. You will not go wrong with him.
