What To Expect
Stockholm
Starting off in the Östermalm area, popularised by the rich and the famous, we introduce you to the traditions of Swedish food. From richly flavoured and exquisite cheeses to game meat. On top of that beer that is crowned “The Gold of The North”. You get a red-carpet like infusion into the world of Swedish delights at the high end Östermalms Market Hall. Heading towards the heart of the city we will let you indulge in a traditional Swedish lunch. Along the way we will also introduce you to the crown jewel of our proud Nordic kitchen; the meatball! You will learn what types of potatoes to serve with it, why we have specific jams for it and other fun facts. Moving on we will guide you through the beautiful Kings Garden. We will pass the the area that Vogue Magazine voted the “third coolest district in the world”. The tour will end in Old Town, an area that dates back to the 13th century and consists of medieval alleyways and architecture. Here we will treat you with some traditional candy and sweets.

5.00Lovely time with a native Stockholmer who showed us lots of food and shred some history. Started 4:00 and went to about 7:15. Groups are much smaller in winter, fyi.

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our Nordic food tour. Our guide, Cotton was professional and very informative about the foods, culture and history of Sweden, giving us a real insight into the regional origins of the food we tasted. Cotton was an amazing guide who was clearly passionate about the local food and added so much depth to each food stop.
Fun and tasty experience

5.00Cotton was an amazing guide and the range of Swedish foods that we tried was impressive, a very big variety. I won't say what we had but some recipes dated back to the 1600's. I suggest you don't have breakfast because there is a lot of food and we were very full by the end. I would highly recommend this tour.
Fantastic experience with a friendly local- highly recommend!!

5.00My husband and I went on this tour together and had a fabulous time with Cowton. There was a glitch with trip advisor’s reservation and the owner was able to have Cowton come take us on a tour within 2 hours on his day off! At no point did we feel like he minded working, he was friendly, informative, and walked at a great pace to each location. This tour is a great opportunity to meet a local in Sweden and ask questions about the culture, while learning about its history and favorite foods. You may not LOVE all of the foods, but I guarantee you will remember them. This tour is all about the experience. When we got home we hosted “fika” with our family on Thanksgiving with cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate and had everyone try the salted licorice (so fun to share that tasting with others. Totally worth bringing that home with us). This tour is memorable, and kept on giving. Cowton suggested 2 other places for us to try. We went there and ate some of the best food we had in Sweden.
Cotton rules!!!!

5.00Our guide Cotton rules!!! We were in a group of 6 and learned so much about Stockholm history, culture and food. He is a truly fantastic guide who will teach you so much. Don’t let the cold weather deter you - bundle up and get out there to learn about this wonderful city.
Great introduction to Stockholm

4.00We booked this walking tour to not only get familiar with the city layout but also gain exposure to traditional Swedish cuisine and it did not disappoint! A total of 8 people were on tour. The meeting place is a market. Be sure to meet in the front entrance by the statute. As described, the menu is traditional Swedish food so you will likely be eating food you are not used to. Keep an open mind and you may be surprised with flavor combinations.
