Walking Tour of Östermalm and Swedish Society
Welcome to Rainbow Tours! We are a group of national and international students of Stockholm, who want to share this beautiful city with everyone. We all love and support the "Free Walking Tours" idea as we are students who enjoy traveling, and we want to go one step further: making the tours more friendly and personal, trying to connect with everyone, and to make the tours accesible for everyone. Book your tour because there are limited spots! And more guides will attend if necessary.

Our guide Sebastian knew just so much about Stockholm as well as other countries. He was interesting to follow and this tour is good to get out of Old Town and get to know other parts of Stockholm. I would also say that the structure od the tour was very great.
