Wir hatten nur einen Tag in Karlskrona und wollten möglichst viel über die Stadt erfahren. So trafen wir auf Terje in der "6 Islands History Walking Tour in Karlskron"
Es gibt besondere Momente im Urlaub, die dann unvergessen bleiben. Man trifft nette, interessante Menschen und hat ein schönes gemeinsames Erlebnis.
Terje vermittelte uns mit seiner erfrischenden Art die Geschichte von Karlskrona teils sehr humorvoll und immer wieder mit spannenden Details.
Danke für diese schöne Tour

We had a wonderful Walking and Tasting Tour in Karlskrona with Terje and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.
Terje was incredibly welcoming and friendly from the moment we met. He brought the fascinating history of Karlskrona to life, explaining how the town was founded and why it played such an important role in protecting Sweden from invasion. His knowledge was excellent, and he answered all of our questions with enthusiasm.
We also learnt so much about Swedish culture and traditions, and it was great fun tasting a selection of Swedish sweets that we'd never come across in the UK. One of the highlights was enjoying a traditional Swedish fika. Rather than feeling like a guided tour, it felt as though we were sitting in a café chatting with a new friend.
Terje tailored the tour to our interests, making it feel personal and relaxed, and we came away with a much deeper appreciation of Karlskrona and Swedish life. Thank you, Terje, for such an enjoyable and memorable experience!

Anfang dieser Woche hatten wir eine einmalig schöne Guide-Tour durch Karlskrona verbunden mit einer kleinen Wanderung über mehrere Inseln der Stadt. Trotz des für den Sommer untypischen Wetters (Wind und Regen bei ca. 15°C) hatten wir Dank der abwechslungsreichen Schilderungen des Guides interessante Einblicke in die Geschichte, die Entwicklung und die heutige Situation von Karlskrona bekommen. Terje, Dir noch einmal vielen lieben Dank und wir empfehlen Dich hiermit sehr gerne weiter!! Christina & Frank aus Rostock

Vi fick en fin guidning av Terje i Karlskrona. Redan veckan innan stämde han av med oss om eventuella önskemål och intresse, verkligen proffsigt. Terje hade den lokala kunskapen genom sina jobb och att han bott länge i Karlskrona, vilket satte guldkant på guidningen. Kan varmt rekommendera Denna tur.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Karlskrona a UNESCO World Heritage city?
Yes. Karlskrona was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998. It is Sweden's only mainland city with UNESCO status, recognised for its exceptionally well-preserved 17th-century naval architecture, urban planning, and fortifications built across 30 interconnected islands.
Are GO Nordic tours suitable for cruise passengers?
Yes — both walking tours are designed with cruise guests in mind. They start and end centrally, run in 2 hours, and are kept small so timing is reliable. Cruise passengers with 3 or more hours in port can also take the seasonal hop-on hop-off boat from Dragsö back to the city centre after the 6 Islands tour.
How much do guided tours in Karlskrona cost?
The 6 Islands History Walking Tour starts from 395 SEK per person. The Life in Sweden tasting tour includes all food and drink tastings in the price and cost from 595 SEK. Private tour pricing is available on request — contact us at contact@gonordic.se.
Can I book a private tour?
Yes. Both tours are available as fully private experiences for couples, families, or small groups. Private tours can be tailored to your pace, interests, and schedule. Contact us directly to arrange.
What is the Nordic Reset travel philosophy?
Nordic Reset is GO Nordic's approach to travel: small groups, local guides, private access, unhurried pace, and genuine insight into Swedish culture and history. It is the opposite of a panoramic bus tour. Designed for travellers who want to understand a place, not just photograph it.
Are the tours suitable for all ages and fitness levels?
Yes. Both tours move at a moderate walking pace on mostly flat ground and are suitable for all fitness levels. The 6 Islands tour ends at Dragsö where guests can rest, swim, or catch the boat back at their own pace.
