Overview

Stockholm History Tour – A tour containing everything that a Stockholmer needs to know! This is the one and only tour in town that combines a physical and tour through town with a chronological tour of Stockholm’s history (and Sweden's). The guide will take you from pre-Stockholm times, to modern times and everything in between. No prior knowledge of Stockholm or Swedish history needed! The tours objective is to familiarize all guests with all main historical events that built Stockholm, an objective which will be achieved by observing the city on a 5 km long tour, but also by showcasing a rich, carefully chosen and exclusive collection of pictures, some of which I have created by myself.

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
