Sweden · FIKA EXPERIENCES
Fika is coffee and a bun sitting down, taken twice a day and treated as an institution. These 12 tours build a morning around the bakeries, the market halls and the harder-to-find kitchens, priced, timed and clear about how hungry to arrive.
Explore Gamla Stan’s cobbled lanes, royal palace, Blood Bath story, and Swedish fika on a friendly two-hour Stockholm walking tour.
“Great experience. Very friendly tour guide who showed us the very best of Gamla Stan!”
Paddle through Stockholm’s winter archipelago in a dry suit, then warm up with Swedish fika, sauna time, and an optional Baltic plunge.
“such a fabulous experience!! Rowan and team were super friendly and helpful especially as there were a couple of first timers.. fika and a float in the water was another great touch”

“Best activity I have ever been!!! Great speed, you have to hang on really! Beautyful surroundings!!”
Paddle through Stockholm’s Vaxholm Archipelago, visit historic islands, and enjoy Swedish fika on a small-group sea-kayaking tour.
“A must to do when visiting Stockholm. Just outside the city, you'll have the opportunity to spend a few hours kayaking around the local archipelago less than hour outside of Stockholm. Our guide was super friendly and helpful throughout the tour. Even with the cloudy skies, the tour was still great soaking up the scenery. I had a single Kayak. No experience necessary - you do get a good workout. Others on the tour had a double Kayak. The fika stop/ break on one of the islands was a nice break to rest with light appetizer snack / drinks provided. Highly recommend the tour!”
Explore Viking runestones, old churches, Sigtuna, and Uppsala on a 10-hour Stockholm tour with a Swedish fika break.
“It was such a great experience to learn the real cultural history of the Vikings in Sweden and also to learn about the changes in the Swedish monarchy. We got to go into the old church in Uppsala and it was unlike anything I’ve ever seen, it was absolutely beautiful. We also stopped for a fika break in the country side”
Ride a dog sled from Abisko to Kiruna, stop for Swedish fika by a fire, and meet friendly sled dogs in the Arctic wild.
“Amazing guides and the cutest dogs! Had the best time the route was beautiful and the guides took good care to ensure I was warm and comfortable. Would definitely recommend!”
Explore Stockholm through fika, with coffee, pastries, chocolate, and licorice at four to five local stops in a small group.
“Such a fun tour both learning about the tradition of Fika and trying some really terrific sweets, from amazing pastries to delicious chocolates to frankly insane licorice. We got to walk through great parts of the city while snacking. Cotton was lovely and knowledgeable and it was a wonderful start to our family holiday in the city. Highly recommended.”
Paddle Stockholm at sunset, pass historic islands and bridges, and share organic Swedish fika on a beginner-friendly four-hour kayak tour.
“The tour was really, REALLY great! It is a totally different way to explore Stockholm. The lake was surprisingly warm. You can not only see these great places, but be there, feel the water, the sun and the great athmosphere! I worried about my fitness level. But it was fine. Just do it!👍🙂 Thanks to the guide Bobby! He did a great job. Very friendly, nice and welcoming!”

“We planned our trip to Stockholm about five months in advance, and I had my eye on this adventure from the beginning. It did not disappoint. Our guide Bobbie was so down to earth, knowledgeable, and really made our kayaking experience fun. During our snack time I was able to take a swim in the middle of beautiful Stockholm. What an amazing experience for myself, my twelve year old son, and my husband!”

Explore Gothenburg through Swedish fika, with coffee, pastries, local history, and three bakery stops in a small English-language tour.
“Be sure you are ready to eat several pastries AND coffee on this tour! We met Sara for two hours and walked to three different bakeries to taste fika and other Swedish pastries. Fortunately for us the other people didn’t come so we had Sara to ourselves. She is lovely and friendly and a very worldly woman. She explained all the different pastries and how they were named and the history behind them. It’s pretty fascinating! We totally enjoyed our day and time with Sara and if you like sweets then this is the tour for you! Lots of fun. Would definitely recommend.”

Pick an island, a city, or the far north.
