Defo book it if you like food and culture - Worth the money, knowledgable and passionate tour guide who was super nice and cute. Great food and saw places I’d never have gone to otherwise. A large group so be okay with scorching up to the front to hear but I recommend.

Great food tour! - Our guide was very good. Was a little caught off guard by the Nordic food tastings, but our group was impressed. The best sausage was a surprise and tasty along with the moose, reindeer and cheese tasting. The fish soup which is a huge favorite amongst the locals was not my thing, but was interesting. The information on this tour was top rate. Lots of walking so be prepared.

Wonderful experience! - As first timers to Stockholm this was a wonderful way to learn about the city and Nordic food and culture. Our tour guide, Cotton, was fantastic! He was a wealth of knowledge about the history of what we sampled, the production of the meats, cheeses, beverages, and about life in Sweden. The variety of what we sampled covered a broad spectrum of typical foods for the area - wild game, farmer’s production of cheeses and preserves, how fishing has influenced the Nordic diet, the use of spices, and of course, Swedish meatballs!

A food tour you must try with a cool tour guide! - One of the best tours I've done on my trip. Our tour guide (his name is Cotton) was very explanatory about what we tried, he gave a lot of pop culture information about the city, but also Swedish culture. (one of the few times a tour guide doesn't look like they've read wikepedia), and I think he made us all feel very comfortable at our final destination, which was fika! By doing this food tour, one has the opportunity to try Swedish cheeses, cured meats, the famous Swedish meatballs and more, but what excited me the most was the cheese pie. Spoiler alert: be prepared for licorice candy, which you will either love or hate.

Basically an incredibly interesting culture & history tour with tasty food! :) - I have done quite a few food tours of different cities but have never experienced one so informative! I learned more about Sweden's history, culture, and architecture on this tour than the two walking tours I took of the city, and this one came with delicious food as well! My tour guide was fantastic and made the food tour a truly unforgettable experience. I would absolutely recommend!

Great tour! - We loved our host for the tour and how she explained everything so well. She told us about the areas we were visiting as well as what was nearby to see and do. The food was interesting and good. It was nice just having someone take us around to try different foods and knowing just where to go.

Fun in Stockholm - Valentina was our tour guide and the meeting spot was easy to find. We were a group of six plus our guide and we had a great time. We had many samples of a lot of different foods. It was a decent amount of walking but we went at a pace that worked for the group. All in all it was a great experience and I would recommend.

Nice tour but NOT a small group - While our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly, there were 21 people on this tour. We specifically booked this tour based on the description of a “small group” and the statement of a “12 person maximum”. Our tour guide did his best but, with 21 people it was difficult to hear. We would not have booked this tour if the description had been accurate about the size of the group.
