About this experience
This private tour is fully customizable. We’ll be in touch with you to design your ideal route.
When you book this tour, you are selecting one of four options: Gamla Stan, Östermalm, Södermalm, or a museum visit with us. The duration can vary: 2 hours for smaller groups (around 2 participants) or up to 3 hours for larger groups (up to 15 participants). If you'd like us to visit the Vasa Museum, there will be an additional cost for the museum tickets. If you want to do an 8-hour tour, we’ll need to charge for the extra hours.
This is a walking tour by default. If you’d like to include transportation, please contact us to add it as an option.
The best thing you can do is get in touch with us directly—in Viator we cannot list all the possible customizations. So please reach out and let us help design your perfect day!
