Stockholm Fika Tour

Posted By : sarahmario
We enjoyed the liquorice tasting experience. While this tour was pleasant, we have been on much better food tours. Our guide was personable but a relative new-comer to Stockholm; she did not provide the cultural context I have come to expect from such tours.

We had an amazing (and what turned out to be a private) tour! Don't plan on a big meal before or after. We had four stops and found ourselves sharing treats towards the end because we were so full. The tour gave us a chance to learn more about the fika tradition and taste some delightful common Swedish sweets. We also had a chance to try Sweden's fascination with black licorice-both sweet and salty! Enjoy!

Really fantastic tour/tour guide. Love that it included special tasting of different types of licorice and the charming locations in Gamla Stan. Really appreciated the fact that tour was not canceled, despite the fact I was the only participant. Highly recommended!

Tour never happened. Waited outside in the cold for more than 15 minutes and no one showed. Was not notified the tour was cancelled or given an apology for my time wasted. Will be receiving a refund.

Dimitrious was a superb tour guide. So knowledgeable and friendly. Answered all of our questions and was nothing but helpful. Such a fun and delicious tour.

Dimitri was great and very knowledgable He could have used a sign and or a badge as we had a bit of trouble spotting him in the crowd and we had no idea if he was who he claimed to be.

The guide gave a very good insight into Sweden and the local culture, offering personal stories in the process.

The treats we tried were nice and the host + group of other travelers were lovely. However, I would not say this was worth it in the end. Our host was not from Sweden and did not have too much local knowledge to give us, nor was there much explanation of the snacks and their history or tradition (with the exception of the first stop in which we tasted various licorices). My whole group was hoping to learn more about fika and Sweden in general via this experience, but we didn't learn much - especially considering the length of the tour. I would say we only got two or three historical/cultural anecdotes. I feel that the "tour" was mostly just to lead us from place to place and provide the food which we could have done on our own. The conversation at each location was essentially just small talk amongst ourselves and little information about Sweden. However, this would be a good option for someone simply looking to taste a few treats without needing choosing the bakery/shop/restaurant for themself.

It was supposed to be my daughter and I but she ended up not being able to make it so I went solo. Demetrius is an amazing guide! He provided good info on the city sights and the places we stopped for fika. The food and drinks were delicious and I had a great time. Definitely recommend!

I showed up at the meeting point at the appointed time and no one showed up. I couldn’t get ahold of the tour operator so called viator customer service and was told the tour started hours earlier, so the booking showed an incorrect time. I was able to get a refund but was bummed I missed this, had been really looking forward to it
