Fall in love with Stockholm There are many ways to explore a city, but the best and most personal way is to let a native show you around and customise a tour based on a combination of your interests and their local knowledge. Tours of Stockholm uses this method for its one mission: to make you love Stockholm as much as their guides do. By Sara Wenkel | Photos: Lola Akinmande Åkerström
Faizal Luttamaguzi is the man behind Tours of Stockholm. His philosophy is that everyone – customers, suppliers and employees – should have a satisfying and happy experience each time they interact with Tours of Stockholm. Finances should always be a second thought. “I have had customers saying they’d forgotten that they paid to take
the tour. That is exactly the feeling I want to create – friendly and personal. Each guide can customise the tour based on their local favourites, and they answer the customers’ questions from their own point of view,” explains Luttamaguzi. Tours of Stockholm started out with food tours where you eat your way through the
different neighbourhoods of Stockholm. “We have different themes on the food tours, everything from Swedish traditional fare to fine dining or vegetarian,” says Luttamaguzi. Now the company also offers other types of unique tours. “One of my favourite tours is when we cycle around Stockholm on wooden bikes. We visit restaurants, shops and companies that all work with sustainability. It is a great way of showing our beautiful, forward-thinking Stockholm.”
