Popular Culture & History in Gamla Stan

We were lucky to go during a quiet period and as a result we had a private tour, just the two of us and the guide who was very friendly and knowledgeable about the food as well as the city. The tour was at a steady pace with time to look around where we wanted to. The stops are well chosen, especially the fish restaurant in the market and the chocolate shop (Chokladfabriken). We wondered if the licorice stop would have an alternative or a pallet cleanser as it has such a strong flavour for people who want to try it but don't want to keep the after taste. All in all we had a great time and would recommend it as a way to explore the city and learn about some of Stockholm's history and culture.

Theresa was a great guide. Knowledgeable about food, local history, the areas we passed through, and fun. We acted on one of her restaurant recommendations a couple of days later and enjoyed an amazing dinner at Lisa Elmqvist. We also had an interesting, small group for this tour which really enhanced the whole experience. The tour information promised enough food through the tastings for a full meal and we were not disappointed. We were also served a local beer ("breakfast beer" given the time of day!) and had a pleasant Sauvignon Blanc at a stop at a quite elegant resto. I'd recommend this tour to anyone interested in experiencing the flavours of Sweden.

Dara seriously did a phenomenal job, considering it was New Years Eve, places were crowded and closing early. Her enthusiasm for her home city and explanations of Stockholm ‘s food origins and traditions were great. My friend and I really enjoyed this tour!!! Highly recommend this tour - well worth the time and money. If you’re thinking of a walking tour - do this instead - get the history and feel of Stockholm and get To taste delicious food.

We loved this tour. The food stops were great and our guide told us little inside stories about the food, childhood in Sweden, the royal family and other things. We tried lovely cheese, dryed meat, had the best swedish meatballs, enjoyed a nice fish dish and so on. It was great and while walking we did see many famous places and buildings. So it helped us to decided where to go afterwards. Well recommended! ... and many thanks to Faizal

My father and I took the November 20, 2018 tour. There were four of us in the group. Our guide, Soma, was marvelous. She was warm, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and engaging. The pacing of the tour was perfect and the food served was ample and generous. This was a highlight of our time in Sweden.
