What to expect

Gamla stan (Old Town) walking tour

Stockholm's Gamla stan is the city's historic Old Town, where narrow streets, squares, and landmarks trace centuries of Swedish history. Your guide leads a private 2-hour or 3-hour walking tour here, depending on whether you selected the 3-hour or 4-hour option.

Features

• Old Town sights, including the Cathedral and Royal Palace, are central to this route as you walk between key streets and squares in Gamla stan. Your guide highlights these sights so you can connect the architecture with the stories of the Swedish monarchy and the city's past.
• The private walking tour of Gamla stan is led by a 5-star licensed guide who is fluent in your chosen language, with guided commentary available in English, Swedish, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Russian as per the option selected.
• Stories about Swedish history, Vikings, the Nobel Prize, and more are woven into the walk, giving context to what you see around the Cathedral, the Royal Palace, and the surrounding Old Town streets.
• Your time on foot in Gamla stan is structured as either a 2-hour or 3-hour walking tour plus a 1-hour cruise, depending on the variant you book, so you know exactly how your combined experience is paced.

Sergels torg (4-hour option)

Sergels torg is a modern square in central Stockholm that contrasts with the medieval character of Gamla stan. This stop is included only if you choose the 4-hour option.

Features

• The visit to Sergels torg modern square shows you Stockholm's contemporary side, with your guide explaining how this area represents the city's newer urban layout in contrast to the Old Town.
• On the 4-hour option, the extended 3-hour walking tour gives you time to include Sergels torg along with Gamla stan, while still preserving the full 1-hour boat cruise component of the experience.

Djurgården boat cruise

After exploring on foot, you continue your experience on the water with a Djurgården boat cruise. This 1-hour route lets you see Stockholm's waterfront and the island surroundings from a different perspective.

Features

• Tickets for the 1-hour boat cruise are included as part of your booking, so you move directly from the walking section to boarding without arranging separate transport or payment.
• A multilingual audio guide onboard the cruise is available, providing recorded commentary in several languages to complement what you learned on the walking tour as you sail around Djurgården.
• The cruise lasts around 50 minutes to 1 hour and circles the Djurgården area, adding a scenic water-based finish to the Old Town and city-center walking segments.
• Food and drinks are not included on the boat, so you can decide whether to bring something beforehand or simply focus on the views and audio guide during your time on the water.

Wrapping up

Your experience concludes when the Djurgården boat cruise returns to the pier, leaving you free to continue exploring Stockholm on your own or make your way back through the city after combining the private Gamla stan walking tour with your 1-hour cruise.
