Walking Tour Gamla Stan - Old Town

Rainbow Tours Stockholm

Join us on our Old Town Tour to enjoy the beautiful island of Gamla Stan 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.

Your guide will take you on a beautiful walk, describing an overview of Swedish history and essential general information, offering you not only a deep dive into the city’s history but also, some insights of today’s life in the country.

There are limited spots, so please, book in advance!

¿What is the price?

Ours tours in Stockholm are based on the idea of “pay what you want”, this means that you don’t have to pay anything when booking the tours, but a payment for the tour is expected, and you decide how much to pay.

In order to maintain the quality in our tours, you need to make a booking. If you cant make it, please cancel the booking so that we don’t wait for you and someone else can book your spot.
