TOUR DESCRIPTION
 

Stockholm Shore Excursion

This Stockholm shore trip provides an overview of Stockholm including the Old Town and the island of Djurgarden, plus beautiful views of the city from Fjallgatan. At the end of the tour you will have many scenic photos of Sweden's capital city.

After meeting your driver guide, you start your tour in the Old Town, known as Gamla Stan. The city of Stockholm is made up of 14 islands and peninsulas which are connected by bridges. The Old Town encompasses three of these islands.

While on foot you will see the Royal Palace and Cathedral (Stockholm's Oldest Building) plus have short amount of time to enjoy the narrow cobbled streets that are lined with antique shops and boutiques.

Next you drive to the island of Djurgarden, or "Royal Game Park". The island is part of the National Park system and is the favorite recreation area for both locals and tourists. The island is home to historical buildings, museums, an amusement park, yacht harbors, plus beautiful forests and meadows.

Then you will drive through several of Stockholm's most popular neighborhoods such as Kungsholmen, Langholmen and bohemian Sodermalm.

A highlight for many people is the photo stop at Fjallgatan. This area sits on a cliff where you enjoy well preserved wooden buildings dating from the 1700s and also fantastic views of Stockholm. Get your cameras ready.

Reviewer: Bruce L from Utah  
I booked a tour of Stockholm through Private Shore Trips to accommodate our cruise ships short stay there. But when we embarked the week before in Copenhagen we received notice of an itinerary change that had us docking at the distant port of Nynshamn rather than Stockholm. That made it impossible to take the tour we had booked. I was panicked that we might have lost our payment. But Private Shore Trips promptly responded to my

Reviewer: Bridgette G from Aurora Canada  
I have been meaning to get in touch and letting you know that all private tours were right on time even though after reconfirming from the hotel in Copenhagen my German phone never worked, so I was a bit concerned how it would work out but they were all there, were professional and helpful and with the three boys it was the best decision I made about the whole trip to have the private tours. I knew this cruise would not be the perfect itinerary for teen age boys but I think the guides we had made it work, adjusted the programs tour over the city rather than the city tour as it would have given the boys a thrill and me the kind of overview of the city one could not get from a car. I dont mean it complaining, it is more hindsight on my part. I would recommend Private tours to anyone with a small group, as the flexibility and advantage of passing all the long long line ups for all the larger groups and sneaking in ahead of them was worth alone the extra cost. On top of it the flexibility was just priceless for the boys. I have less good things to say about the cruise line, found the ship not well organized and not at all helpful for anyone not wanting their tours and giving the rest of us wrong information about landing procedures at least 12 the time. Well, I have learned a lot and even though I will never be a total cruise fan, the baltic itinerary is really very informative if one prepares oneself as there was little or no advanced information on the destination ports given to us from the ship itself. So, thanks for your helpful service, I would recommend booking private tours to anyone!! You are welcome to quote my recommendation if needed.

Reviewer: Lisa S from Princeton Jct  
We have been using your services for several years now and as usual every stop was perfect. Uniformly all stops this year were excellent. There were several highlights I need to mention. Our guide Hakan in Stockholm was simply the best I have ever had in 15 years of travel. He had all from the 9 year old to the 85 year old enthralled. Our guide Klavs in Copanhagan was the second best guide ever. He is a retired gentleman who went back to train as a guide. He offered so much more in the way of experience and perspective. I can not recommend him highly enough. He accessed the group on our initial meeting and said lets make a few minor changes which were super. We had lunch on the coast. Hit sites not planned and still hit all the planned sites. He took us off the beaten track to a Boy Scout camp where the scouts had a complete replica of a working Viking village. What a hit for us to really see how they lived and to put it all into perspective. Kids climbed and explored everything.
