Meet your local guide in Gamla Stan, Stockholm's old town, and set off on this walking tour of the city's oldest neighborhood. Wear sensible walking shoes suited for the cobblestone streets and bundle up; Stockholm's nights between November and March can be bitter. 

Walk down narrow alleyways and through tiny courtyards that most tourists and visitors never see. By the light of his lantern, your guide will entertain and horrify you with tales of poltergeists, plagues, public executions and murders. Experience the past brought back to life as you smell, taste and see what medieval Stockholm might have been like. 

Please note: This tour operates in all weather conditions, and parental discretion is advised for children under the age of 8.

I have been on countless walking tours in many countries. This was hands down the best tour guide I have ever experienced! Not one moment was I disengaged. I held on to every word of each story and surprised over and over by her passion and enthusiasm! I would take this tour again and again and highly recommend!! Made SURE you book your tour with Myson (hope the spelling is correct) She is amazing and my favorite tour guide I’ve ever had.

This was a fun tour with a very entertaining guide. This was a good walking tour of some really interesting areas of Stockholm. Our guide made it fun for everyone even though the age ranges of the participants was pretty wide. Tip: Make sure you are wearing comfortable walking shoes as there's a lot of walking across various types of cobblestones.

A fun way to learn new things about Stockholm
JohnNici

Our guide Collum brought the past to life in an engaging way that made you believe the many tales he had to spin about murder, disease and mayhem. Although we were part of a very large group, our guide was able to rivet our attention at every stop. Word of warning: this is not a handicap accessible tour. There are many steps and lots of cobblestone to negotiate. If you cannot handle this, choose another tour.

Callum was the best tour guide ever! So fun and entertaining. I was a little disappointed that there is really only one ghost story and it is at the end. I appreciated all the stories, but thought there would be more since that is how it is advertised.
