Stockholm Walking Tour – Gamla Stan Highlights
Overview

Mobile ticket
This isn't your typical history tour — it's Stockholm through the eyes of a local friend.
Amike means "friend," and that's exactly what this experience is about. No megaphone, no big group following a flag, no rush. Just a relaxed walk with someone who lives here and loves sharing this city with visitors.
You'll get history, yes — but also Swedish culture, daily life, fun facts, quirky traditions, and honest local tips. Why do Swedes take their shoes off indoors? What's fika really about? Where do locals actually eat in Gamla Stan? Your guide answers it all.
We start at the Parliament, walk through Riddarholmen for waterfront views, then explore Gamla Stan's medieval alleys, colorful squares, and hidden courtyards. Along the way, expect conversation — not a lecture. Ask anything, go at your own pace, and leave feeling like you actually know Stockholm.
Small groups only. Personal experience guaranteed. Come as a tourist, leave as a friend of Stockholm.

5.00The streets are super narrow and all made of old stones, so wear good shoes or your feet will hurt. Our guide told us some crazy stories about ghosts and old kings that lived in the big palace. We saw the smallest statue I ever seen and had a nice coffee with a big cinnamon bun at the end.
Very pleasant experience

5.00Christian was a wonderful guide. We ended up being the only people on this tour and the fact that the company didn’t cancel speaks volumes. Christian had a book full of pictures and k formation. Which enhanced the tour. It was great!
With Christhian again and again
