I'm a fan of hackathons and I'm interested in Stockholm as a hub for new ideas in business - there's so much that this city has to offer. Some of my favourite things in the city include great spots for cosy afternoon coffee with the best panoramic views of the city, trendy rooftop bars and places for traditional dining. I'm a professional photographer, so I'm always on the lookout for interesting exhibits and architecture. If you feel like a Viking experience with a touch of history, with a modern sense of what the culture here is all about, then I'm your girl. Join me in Södermalm for the great nightlife and fantastic views or in Djurgården, which is home to the Vasa Museum, ABBA and some perfect spots for fika.

Hi, I’m Birgitta

I have lived in London, Taiwan, Cambodia and on the tiny island of Åland as well as having visited many other places. I blend well into most crowds and I'm most definitely a people person. Being able to guide in my beautiful Stockholm would be great since I have experience (I arranged and hosted the annual summit of Scandinavian Prime Ministers in 2016 on Åland Island) and know how to treat my guests well and where to take them. Hosting guest and pairing that with my work in the sales and marketing world would be a lot of fun for me as it would always put me into contact with new people, which is something I truly love. I have lived in this city for more than 20 years, I know its every crack and crevice, and I'm sure you'll fall in love with it as much as I have.

What travelers think of our experiences in Europe

Celine 20 February 2026

We had a fantastic time with Zenid. He showed us everything on the four-hour tour of Stockholm. We learned a lot about Stockholm and Sweden and were able to ask questions at any time. We highly recommend the tour and would definitely do it again. Thanks, Zenid!

Ashley 21 February 2026

Our guide Zenid was excellent. He communicated with us before our tour and promptly picked us up at our hotel on our first afternoon in Stockholm. We walked all around Gamla Stan learning so much about the area. He was so knowledgeable and friendly. We loved hearing about the history and seeing the buildings. It was the perfect introduction to the area. At the conclusion of the tour, he dropped us off at the restaurant where we had dinner reservations, which was nice and convenient. He also sent recommendations of what to do in the city for the remainder of our time there. Having Zenid as our guide is what made it top notch and five stars. Thank you, Zenid!

Celine 20 February 2026

We had an amazing time with Zenid. During the tour we he showed us everything you can see in 4 hours. We leaned a lot about Stockholm and Sweden and could always asked any question. We can definitely recommend a tour with him and would always do a tour again. Thank you Zenid!
