Summary:
A truly excellent experience where food served as a lens to discover Swedish society and history. A big thank you to our guide Therese for her kindness and all the juicy anecdotes. Finishing with a Semla pastry was the perfect touch. Nadiya and Frederic.

Summary:
You get to taste the food the locals eat. We were able to taste many things and perhaps more licorice than we bargained for. We learned the history of many of the dishes we ate. The tour lasted 4 hours and we walked at least 3 miles.

Summary:
Cotton, our tour guide, was the epitome of passion and knowledge when it came to his home country and its native cuisine. His enthusiasm was palpable at every food hall stop, where he delved into the significance of each dish and the history behind it. After savoring each delectable bite, the tour concluded at a cozy cafe, where Cotton stayed to engage in friendly conversations and share his local recommendations. It felt like we were not just on a guided tour, but as friends with a local insider. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour with Cotton!
