Private Tours
Xperience Stockholm on your terms
Whether you want to explore Uppsala’s Viking history, Stockholm’s private saunas, or the Afro-Swedish life behind Lola Akinmade Åkerström’s novels, we’ll design the day around your interests, pace, language, and travel companions.
November – December only
Stockholm Christmas Traditions & Treats
Saffron buns, Stockholm’s oldest Christmas market, and the rituals behind a merry Swedish Christmas
Let your Local Xpert show you how Christmas is celebrated in Sweden. Nibble your way through gingerbread, discover why a goat made of straw still guards Swedish Christmases, and enjoy the rituals that make the darkest time of year feel a little brighter.
June – August only
Vaxholm: Stockholm Archipelago
The slow way through the archipelago
Take a ferry cruise for a slow summer day of Baltic coastlines, fortress secrets, fika, and seaside traditions, with a Local Xpert who knows where Swedish island culture begins in this idyllic coastal town of Vaxholm.
Year-round
Stockholm Architecture & Design
Trace Swedish design from streets to interiors
Follow Stockholm’s design story from Östermalm’s elegant shopfronts to minimalist facades and green spaces. Your Local Xpert connects Swedish architecture and Scandinavian design through Swedish Grace, food culture, and influences from Carl Milles to IKEA.
Year-round
Stockholm Must-Sees
Connect Stockholm’s landmarks to the Vikings, royals, & merchants that shaped them
Your Local Xpert walks you through the narrow alleys of Gamla Stan, the courtyards of City Hall, the noble houses of Riddarholmen, and the different levels of the Vasa Museum, tracing the people who actually lived here.
Year-round
Lola Akinmade Book Club Experience
A tale of Stockholm through the eyes of its famous fictional characters
Created in partnership with Lola Akinmade Åkerström. Walk through places her characters knew, pause over the stories behind them, and explore Afro-Swedish history through food, place, and conversation with your Local Xpert.
Year-round
Uppsala Must-sees
Walk the birthplace of Sweden, from Viking runestones to a pink castle
Once home to the first Swedish king, Uppsala is where 3,000 Viking runestones still stand. Your Local Xpert untangles fact from fiction across the vaulted stillness of the Cathedral, the Codex Argenteus at Carolina Rediviva, and the Botanical Garden where Carl Linnaeus classified the natural world.
Year-round
Stockholm Urban Art Tour & Workshop
See Södermalm’s underground art scene through an artist’s eyes
Stockholm’s aesthetic could be best described as prim and proper. Turn down the right alley, though, and you’ll find giant murals, mini sculptures, and graffiti-filled corners that most visitors walk past.
