Absolutely fantastic nature tour in Stockholm with our guide, Victor! He's a local who knows the area well, and his photography skills are impressive. Rain or shine, he remained dedicated, making the experience unforgettable. Highly recommended!

I came to Sweden for a couple of winter nature experiences, and Green Trails stands out as one of the best organizations I went with. First, Patrick was a phenomenal guide. He's patient, relaxed, funny and tells hilarious stories. He strikes me as being in his element with his knowledge of animals and nature, but also of Swedish culture. The winter hike itself was phenomenal. We hiked a snowy forest infrequently visited by folks, and trekked across a huge frozen lake. We know we were safe, but it raced the heart to hear the loud, booming thunderclap noise of the lake adjusting to temperature changes! We didn't see critters but I wasn't expecting a lot there. If for nothing else, go along for the campfire vitals. The Finnish lentils at lunch with hot drinks and dessert hit the spot!! Great adventure!Pavel T

Really enjoyable walk on an easy trail about half an hour outside Stockholm. We set off late morning from the pickup point, after introduction and brief instruction on what to expect on the trail. Our guide George was very familiar with the area and was able to tell us a great deal about the local area and the forest. The hike took us through the forest and around the lakes on mostly flat terrain. After few hours of walking we sat down for a lunch and coffee, provided by the organisers in a very picturesque and quiet area by the lake. With the lunch done, we took slightly different route back. There were quite a few other hikers in the area, but we managed to avoid the busy parts due to the knowledge of our guide. Overall we spent about 4 hours in the forest. While I would have preferred to have a slightly longer hike, the tour is aimed at an average walker and is not very demanding. It was a great day out in the forest with a mix of interesting people in the tour group to share the experience.PAfamilyadventues

My husband and I and our 21 year-old daughter recently went on a full day hike with Patrick as our guide. We all agreed it was our absolute favorite activity of our 5-day trip to Stockholm. We had perfect weather -- clear skies and warm but not hot temperatures -- and we to a national park about a 30-minute drive from downtown Stockholm. We learned a ton about the plants and animals in the area and thoroughly enjoyed the quiet and solitude of off-trail hiking. Patrick taught us how to identify edible and inedible mushrooms and we picked wild blueberries which we later ate with custard as dessert/fika. We learned fire-starting and cooked lunch over our fire. It was a perfect day. Patrick did a good job of tailoring the day to our abilities and interests and we loved hearing his stories about life in Sweden as a guide and teacher. We HIGHLY recommend Green Trails and Patrick in particular.judithdX2886CK

We had a lovely hike with our guide Patrick in Paradiset, roasted hotdogs over the fire and dipped our toes in the lake :-) Highly recommended!
