OURWAY Tours

OURWAY Tours is a family business based in Stockholm that has been building guided tours since 2011. It specialises in private experiences, meaning your group has its own guide rather than joining a crowd, and it now runs tours in several Nordic cities, including Copenhagen, Oslo, Bergen, Gothenburg and Malmö. In Stockholm, tours can be taken on foot, by bike or in a private vehicle, and the company also offers boat tours and food and drink experiences.

One of the company's featured Stockholm tours combines Gamla Stan with the Vasa Museum: a walk through the medieval old town, a scenic ferry ride and a visit to the salvaged 17th-century warship. It is a good example of the company's approach, linking the city's main sights into a single, well-paced day with a guide who can explain the history as you go. Other options include bike tours, which cover more ground and suit Stockholm's network of cycle paths and waterfront routes, and food and drink tours that introduce Swedish flavours.

The private format has clear advantages. You can choose the start time, adjust the pace to suit children or older travellers, and ask questions throughout. It works particularly well for families, small groups of friends and cruise passengers with a limited time in port, as the company also covers Nynäshamn, one of the region's cruise ports. Because a private guide costs more than a seat on a shared tour, it is most cost-effective for groups.

Booking is done through the company's website, where you can request a tour and discuss your plans; a contact form is available for questions. Book well ahead for summer, when demand for private guides is highest, and mention any mobility needs, dietary requirements for food tours or special interests so the guide can tailor the day. The company's phone line is listed on its website for Sweden, Denmark and Norway.

OURWAY Tours' Stockholm office address is c/o Fabriken Event on Textilgatan, south of the city centre, and tour meeting points are agreed when you book. Comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are essential for walking and cycling tours, as Stockholm weather can change quickly even in summer.
