Leo Eriksson is the guide who brings to life what most people simply walk past. With a genuine interest in history, architecture and nature, he combines the broader perspectives with the small details — and guides with a presence and enthusiasm that makes guests feel both welcomed and at home in the city.
Leo guides in Stockholm, Uppsala and Sigtuna, moving as easily among the metro's artworks as along Strandvägen, through the alleys of Gamla Stan or into the greenery of the Royal National City Park. His tours weave together history, architecture and nature, with particular focus on places and stories that most visitors never get to experience.
He is also one of only two authorized guides in Sweden who guide in Meänkieli — the national minority language with roots in the Torne Valley. That makes him unique on the Swedish guiding market and opens up a cultural dimension that rarely gets the space it deserves.
My tours bring history to life, engage guests, and spark the curiosity to learn more — and to carry the story onward.
Leo is the guide who finds value in the overlooked. He brings forward places like Blasieholmen, the metro's red line, Vinterviken and Knivsöder — environments and stories that are deeply Stockholm but rarely make it into the standard tourist brochure. His range is unusual; he moves as naturally through the Royal National City Park as through Nobel Park, along Strandvägen as through Gamla Stan's alleys. As one of only two authorized guides in Sweden who guide in Meänkieli, he also carries a cultural dimension no one else can offer. That makes him an obvious choice for guests looking for something more than an ordinary city walk — an experience with depth, presence and perspective.
— Leo Eriksson
Leo guides with energy, presence and a focus on dialogue. He uses voice, body language and visual aids to bring his stories to life and create an experience that feels both personal and engaging. The tone shifts with the place and the story — from warm enthusiasm to quiet reflection. The goal, always, is that guests feel involved and experience the tour as something more than information — as a living encounter with the place itself.
Guests particularly appreciate Leo's ability to adapt every tour so that they leave with the feeling of having truly come to know the city — not just seen it. By weaving together history, architecture and nature he creates a deeper understanding of place, while the small details make a big difference. It might be a candy treat mid-walk, a personal restaurant tip afterwards, or always being a step ahead on practicalities like restroom stops — the kind of thoughtfulness that makes a tour feel both well-prepared and genuinely caring.
