Spooky Fun on the Bloody Stockholm Tour
I love a spooky tour, and our guide, Jonathan, was fabulous! Jonathan was so knowledgeable. I especially loved the dark folklore and his tales of life in the middle ages. I would highly recommend Jonathan and this tour. One in our group doesn't like scary things. But she ended up loving the tour!

Entertaining Evening
We had a fun time being led through the streets of Galma Stan, with tales of the darker parts of history. It wasn’t a ghost tour, but more of an informative stroll. The stories were entertaining. Crazy how you can walk down a charming alley, with no idea of what happened 100s of years ago in that very same spot.
Response from the operator: Thanks for this review, it is much appreciated that you left one, and I'm happy I could put another perspective on the cozy and narrow Old Town Stockholm steers. Hope you se you again! / Jonathan

Very Very Enjoyable experience.
Ossa (apologies, I don't have the Swedish character for her name. ) was a fantastic guide. Knowledgable and engaging she took us through gamal stan and all of it's gruesome history and secrets. Would thoroughly recommend this if you are interested either in the ghostly or history. Thank you Ossa !!!

Great Time!!!!!!!
This was so much fun! I really recommend it! We learned a lot about the history of the area that we would not have known otherwise!
Response from the operator: Happy to hear you enjoyed this tour with us, and that you managed to leave it filled with newinformation and hounded history information. Thanks for taking your time to leave this review here.

Amazing!
This was a highlight of our trip. Stockholm and Gamla Stan are gorgeous but especially if you can also learn the history and yes, the spooky side too! Jonathon was so very knowledgeable about all things ancient, haunted and thrilling. We loved it and him! Can’t wait to come back and book another longer tour with him in the future. You will not regret doing this tour, only that it ends!

Bloody Stockholm 2h - ghosts, horror and Dark Folklore Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Stockholm.
How much does Bloody Stockholm 2h - ghosts, horror and Dark Folklore Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $191 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Stockholm usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bloody Stockholm 2h - ghosts, horror and Dark Folklore Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Stockholm is not rushed.
Is Bloody Stockholm 2h - ghosts, horror and Dark Folklore Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Stockholm, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bloody Stockholm 2h - ghosts, horror and Dark Folklore Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bloody Stockholm 2h - ghosts, horror and Dark Folklore Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bloody Stockholm 2h - ghosts, horror and Dark Folklore Tour?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Stockholm can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Stockholm and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bloody Stockholm 2h - ghosts, horror and Dark Folklore Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Stockholm within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Stockholm?
+
On Outty we rank every Stockholm experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Stockholm: Walking Tour of the Old Town, Best of Stockholm: Small Group Walking Tour (Max 10, 3 Hours), Vasa Museum Guided Tour, Including Ticket & Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Stockholm?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Stockholm?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Bloody Stockholm 2h - ghosts, horror and Dark Folklore Tour?
+
Included: Guide. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Bloody Stockholm 2h - ghosts, horror and Dark Folklore Tour?
+

What languages is Bloody Stockholm 2h - ghosts, horror and Dark Folklore Tour offered in?
+
