Loved experiencing nature in Stockholm! - The National Park was absolutely beautiful, and our guide was knowledgeable and experienced with the area. I learned about how Sweden and the Swedes view their natural spaces, which was really interesting, while enjoying the views. It was fun to do something different from the city, and it was quite easy overall!

A lovely evening - Max was an excellent, attentive and enthusiastic guide. A beautiful walk through the countryside and nice food by a lake culminated in the sighting of elk: mother and two children.

Tranquil evening hike through old-grown forests - My wife and I recently participated in the evening hike in Tyresta National Park and enjoyed our experience. Our guide, Paloma, was welcoming, helpful, and well prepared for the hike (including having mosquito repellent when needed!). She kept us on schedule so that we would not miss our public bus connections at either the beginning or end of the hike, yet still had enough time to stop and point out various interesting details, such as looking out for signs of wildlife (although we unfortunately didn't see any), offering us wild lingonberries and blueberries, and toward the end of the hike, fixing us a tasty meal of Swedish meatballs (vegan, as well), potatoes and lingonberries, while we enjoyed the tranquil view of a lake at sunset. This hike was a nice option to get out of the city for a few hours and get a sense of the landscape and forests in this part of Sweden, which we enjoyed. The only things I would advise is to be prepared for trails that while well marked, are not always clear-cut, and involve a lot of clambering over exposed tree roots and various types of terrain, which might not be suitable for everybody. However, all in all we enjoyed tour.

Beautiful hike but beware of all the tree roots - This guided tour of Tyresta NP was a great way to experience the Swedish wilderness. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the various flora and fauna in the park. We didnt did see any wildlife other than some deer and incredibly large ant mounds. The trail itself was not difficult but did contain a lot of tree roots. Therefore, it is important to wear good walking or hiking shoes. Our group consisted of 8 people plus our guide. Our guide was very conscientious of everyone’s well-being and made sure everyone felt comfortable with the trail we were hiking on. She also brought insect repellent for everyone to ward off any mosquitos or ticks. We did not encounter any mosquitos which made for an enjoyable hike. A dinner of Swedish meatballs, boiled potatoes and lingonberry sauce was provided at a vista overlooking a beautiful lake at sunset. My only complaint was that the dinner was rather meager and we were all very hungry after hiking for a couple of hours. In addition, the return hike after dinner was nearly dark which caused challenges to navigate the trails with all the tree roots. I would recommend bringing a small flashlight. I was told by our guide that the tour time is set earlier periodically to accommodate the loss of daylight as the summer season progresses. Overall, I would recommend this tour to connect with nature and learn a bit about the native plants. Tyresta is a beautiful park.

Beautiful and Incredibly Memorable Hiking Experience - 10/10 experience would absolutely book again, the environment in Tyresta is incredibly beautiful and diverse, so much so that the pictures on the website do not do the trail justice at all. The trail encompasses all kinds of terrain, from slightly rocky ups and downs to flat terrain surrounded by dense forest and a canopy overhead to rolling hills through old farmland to passages next to streams of water and vast lakes. Our tour guide was also great since he was knowledgable of the environment and trail and also very like-able, quickly breaking the ice within the group and having us all talking and laughing with each other by the end of experience. The meal and “Fika” was the cherry on top since our guide was a good cook and made us a nice warm meal accompanied by either coffee or tea which we enjoyed at a beautiful spot looking out towards a body of water surrounded by trees with the sunset on the horizon.

Beautiful walk through forest and around lakes - I greatly enjoyed this beautiful hike with an amazing guide and group of people. The scenery was lovely, the pace moderate, and the stop for handmade campfire lunch was amazing. I got some amazing pictures and I would recommend the hike. I went in in August 2024 and assume it is still as lovely today.

Nice round through the national park - Our guide Max took us for a nice walk through the national park. At the beginning it was a bit steep uphill, but the view over the lake was very great. The rest of the route was mostly on paved paths. In between, the guide told us a lot about the park and Sxhweden in general. After almost 2 hours our guide made the food warm. There were vegan meatballs, potatoes, sour cream and jam. The Fikka was available as dessert ... Coffee/tea and oatballs. Since we had the lead all to ourselves, we could decide how long we wanted to run.

A different way to discover the surroundings of Stockholm - The tour is great, however it is off the normal paths and is sometimes a little strenuous. Good shoework is strongly recommended.

Pretty lake views - The hike was ok. We walked through some high grass areas which was buggy and potential for ticks. Bring bug spray. Others parts of the hike were beautiful and some awesome lake views. No real sunset views and you finish in the dark,. Our guide was very pleasant and cooked our meal of meatballs and potatoes and hot tea. A tad pricy for a walk in the woods. Total miles -4.3. Finishing around 9:30 pm. . I think more information should be provided in the Viator description such as miles, hours, dinner menu so people can plan accordingly.
