Meet your local guide in Gamla Stan, Stockholm's old town, and set off on this walking tour of the city's oldest neighborhood. Wear sensible walking shoes suited for the cobblestone streets and bundle up; Stockholm's nights between November and March can be bitter. 

Walk down narrow alleyways and through tiny courtyards that most tourists and visitors never see. By the light of his lantern, your guide will entertain and horrify you with tales of poltergeists, plagues, public executions and murders. Experience the past brought back to life as you smell, taste and see what medieval Stockholm might have been like. 

Please note: This tour operates in all weather conditions, and parental discretion is advised for children under the age of 8.

Callum was the best tour guide ever! So fun and entertaining. I was a little disappointed that there is really only one ghost story and it is at the end. I appreciated all the stories, but thought there would be more since that is how it is advertised.

We had Callum as our guide and he was very entertaining. We learned a lot of history throughout various areas within Gamla Stan. I was hoping for more ghost sighting-type stories hence the 4 stars instead of 5.

Callum was very entertaining and told good stories with a Scottish accent. The dark evening, snow and little people on the street besides our group made a great ambiance. The group was about 25 and we personally would have prefered a smaller one but it wasn’t an real issue in practice
