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!

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.

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.

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!

We loved the trip Ith Patrick and Nicolas. Great guys and great outdoor experience with the kids. It was a very nice day out.

Great day out . Good company and really informative . Really nice to see outside if the city . Lovely sitting around the fire chatting in the heart of nature .

My wife and I signed up for the day hike. All ran perfectly. We met Mattias at the appointed location and 3 others joined to make a group of 5 clients. The weather was perfect and it was nice to get out of Stockholm for a day and into nature. Mattias was great. He engaged with each of us very well and taught us a bit about fire building, using a compass to navigate, etc. It was a wonderful, relaxing day in nature. The hiking was active, but not super challenging. It made for a great day out of the city.

Our family of four (husband, 18-y daughter, 14-y son and me) booked this hiking with Green Trials. We were met by Pierre in Cafe String in Sodermann. He took us, along with another couple, to Tyresta National Park, a 30min drive from the cafe. We started walking through the trails and then he took us off-trail, back to the trail, and again off-trail. Along the walk, we picked up wild blueberries and Lingonberries. Pierre explained many things along the way, showing us trees, trails, animal tracks. He had previously asked what each was expecting of the trip and he made sure we all got what we requested. He took us to a point for a 10min meditation moment, then to 3 lakes, we had lunch and fica provided by Green Trials by one of the big lakes, showed us how to light a fire, showed us the lodge of the beavers, the birds, the fish, etc.. We spent the last 30 minutes walking off trail very quiet looking for animals; we saw many animal tracks and poop but no big animals, although we saw a woodpecker, several other birds, frogs, and other insects. It was such an awesome experience, one of the highlights of our trip to Stockholm!!!!! Thanks Pierre for a wonderful experience!!!

I can warmly recommend the nature hike in Stockholm with The Green Trails. It was a magical day. Our guide Manny is truly wonderful, warm, knowledgeable, caring, present and listening, interested in his guests. Everything was perfectly organised too. The picnic was delicious. Thanks again Manny for this wonderful day !

Wonderful small group hike and lunch. Learned alot from our guide. The NP wasn't crowded and made for a lovely day.

We had a great day out with our guides Ben and Camille They were both very friendly and knowledgeable and all eleven of us really enjoyed the day

We booked this mini-adventure as a family group and were joined by one other lady and our guides, Ben and Nathan. At the outset we had a hiccup in that the instructions we received as to how to travel to our meeting point were out of date but Ben came to pick us up and all was sorted. Just to be clear, the meeting point (as at June 2019) is Café String. A forty minute mini-bus ride took us out to the Tyresta National Park where we were offered all the promised equipment including good quality binoculars. Walking off-track in a Primeval Forest is a wonderful experience and we felt the magical atmosphere of the isolation from human influence. Our guides were highly personable and Ben in particular had a wealth of knowledge to impart on all that lay before us. We were blessed with lovely weather and had a relaxing lakeside lunch with great sandwiches provided followed by a dip in the lake to cool off and relax. We had a wonderful day. Of course, we wanted to see a Moose but it was not to be!

My boyfriend and I just returned from our trip and I cannot thank our tour guides enough for making the experience so great. They were so knowledgeable and we ended up being the only ones on that tour that day so it felt like a very personable VIP experience. We were taken on all sorts of different habitats within the nature hike. Great for pictures and just soaking in on Swedish native wildlife. They provided Fika (coffee and pastry break) lunch food, water and tea on the hike. We chatted a ton and bonded eating our vegetarian lunches, it felt like we were hanging out and having a nature day with some friends. I highly recommend them for there professionalism and just overall attention to having customers experience something memorable. Thanks again I hope to be back! Lauren - FL

Nous devions faire une randonnée en raquettes initialement mais le temps ne s'y prêtait pas. Nous avons donc fait une excursion dans la nature avec Olivier. Le guide était vraiment sympa et son histoire et son projet (avec sa femme) est vraiment passionnant. Nous nous sommes baladés pendant 6h. Nous avons marché, mangé, regardé les paysages et la nature. Le cadre est magnifique. Nous avons fini par un vestige de la grande guerre mondiale passionnant. Je recommande !

Nous avons eu la chance de faire la randonnée nature dans le parc national de Tyresta dans de très bonnes conditions météo et surtout aux côté de l’adorable guide Patrick. Ce dernier nous a fait parcourir le site hors des sentiers pour accéder à de magnifiques points de vue tout en partageant ses connaissances et son amour de la faune et de la flore. Nous avons appris à faire un feu puis avons déjeuné au bord du lac gelé, dans une ambiance chaleureuse et décontractée. Rien à redire, la prise en charge, la sécurité, l’ambiance, les compétences et connaissances étaient au RdV pour une journée exceptionnelle ! Encore merci à Patrick qui a été au top !

Met gids George een geweldige wandeltocht gehad. Na een simpele maar lekkere lunch bij een kampvuur mochten we zelf aangeven of we een korte of lange wandeling wouden maken. We kozen voor een lange wandeling om een meer heen. Daarna nog een stuk off trail gegaan. Super ervaring, een aanrader.

Une super journée de randonnée avec The Green Trails ! Pierre, notre guide francophone nous a fait découvrir la réserve naturelle de Paradiset au Sud de Stockholm et nous a permis de nous exercer à l'orientation à la boussole tout en nous partageant ses connaissances de la faune et de la flore suédoises.

petite balade (randonnée) dans Paradise, avec un guide français (établi ici depuis 10 ans), très agréable et très professionnel. On a eu la chance de n'être que 5 au lieu de 8. 4 français et un anglais (on a fait attention de parler anglais dans l mesure de nos possibilités. La balade était sympa avec déjeuner au bord du lac.
