Join us on our Old Town Tour to enjoy the beautiful island of Gamlastan and understand why the Vikings chose this island to create their next capital. Our tour is designed chronologically so you can experience history just like the city did. We will start from the Viking Era, the German influence in the country and the Danish clash which led to the most important Swedish event: the Stockholm bloodbath in 1520 followed by the succession of Gustav Vasa.
When you book on Viator you pay the visit directly, you can also book for free on our website and pay at the end of the tour.

Highly recommend talking taking this walking tour when in Stockholm. It’s a very easy and fun way to get to know some things about the city and its history. Great guide also- Piotr was very well prepared, fun and charismatic.

This was a great tour. I had the opportunity to have Piotr as my guide. He has a real love for the small details. I left the tour noticing features and appreciating Stockholm in a whole new way. I'd jump in his group again if ever given the chance.
