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.
