4.Stockholm’s Festive Sights And Christmas Lights

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 4 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $156

Spend three hours walking through Stockholm’s festive center with a private host such as Fayez, who combines Christmas lights and markets with clear, memorable stories about the city. You can request hotel pickup in central Stockholm, enjoy hot chocolate or mulled wine, and shape the route around your interests.

“We had an amazing tour with Fayez. From our first point of contact (a message to ensure we were prepared for the cold temperatures and possibly slippery walking surfaces) he made sure we were comfortable and had what we needed to enjoy our tour, I had expected a tour of the festive lights (which we saw them all) but got so much more. Fayez’ knowledge of history was incredible and he somehow managed to explain it in a way that was easy to understand and remember. He definitely has a gift for teaching. If you find yourself in Stockholm, don’t hesitate to take this tour. I cannot recommend it enough.…”
