Background Brief

When you book a tour with Philip’s Stockholm Tours you book me!

Professional Private Guide

Not an agency. Not a substitute guide or summer hire. Not a trainee. Me. And together we will explore and engage Stockholm in a private and personalized way.

I’m local, likable, authentic, punctual and professional.

I also bring over 35 years of international experience to the table.

International background in education and tourism

My international background began as a Peace Corps volunteer many years ago in West Africa. Over the years I’ve worked as a designer, photographer and educational entrepreneur.

Two major projects I’m very proud of are: 1) Founding Director of Chile’s largest TEFL program in Higher Education for close to 18 years, serving an educational community of more than 80,000 people, and 2) Co-Owner of Chile’s renowned boutique Fly Fishing Lodge, Los Torreones Lodge, in Patagonia.

Sweden has been a magic journey! I’d love to share it with you.

I don’t solicit fake reviews for my tours. On the contrary, what you see is EXACTLY what you’ll get. What makes my tours special and has made a difference in my past projects around the world is a daily commitment to excellence, listening carefully, and a photographer’s eye to nuance and light.

Relocating and settling into Swedish lifestyle has been a privilege and joy over the last few years. I’m able to share my home country in English, French, and Spanish with visitors from around the world. Each tour is unique as is my time with you.

I look forward to seeing you soon!

I bring special attention and narrative to every guest. I love to share engaging, informative, and entertaining walking or biking tours of Stockholm.
