Explore Malmö’s Disgusting Food Museum, taste strange foods, smell notorious cheeses, and decide if this playful family attraction is worth $25.25.

Malmö’s Disgusting Food Museum serves fermented shark, maggot cheese, insects, and surströmming in a witty, hands-on food adventure.
“I was so nervous to go here and try all the different food, but this was such a great experience. I tried everything but the hot sauces and it’s because our guide helped prepare you for the taste, smell, texture of each item. Every person who works here had to try everything, so they know their stuff. Such a fun time, and I learned a lot too! Worth it!”
Review of Kiruna’s Northern Lights tour with Stejk Street Food dinner, local guides, aurora forecasts, warm drinks, and Arctic travel tips.
“We thought we wouldn’t be able to see the Northern Lights today because it was cloudy, but thanks to the professional forecast, we were able to see them incredibly clearly with the naked eye. On our last day in Kiruna, we made a once-in-a-lifetime memory. The guides were all so kind, fun, and cheerful, and we had an amazing time. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience. Please take good care of yourselves, and we wish you all the best with your future tours!”

Review of Stockholm’s private food tour, with Swedish tastings, market stops, bakery treats, local guides, pricing, and practical booking advice.
“De tour voldeed niet aan wat jullie hadden beloofd bij de boeking. De tour zou 4 uur duren met 7 stops. Ik had de gids geïnformeerd dat ik met een kruk loop, maar met 7 stops zou het wel lukken. Volgens haar was de tour 3 uur en we hebben 2 stops gehad die niet echt indrukwekkend waren.”
Taste Swedish classics, sweets, and secret bites while walking Gamla Stan with a small English-speaking group and local guide.
“It was our first food tour and I went with my dad. The guide was a lovely, very friendly young 19 year old lad (apologies I can’t remember his name) he not only could give us plenty of interesting historical information about Stockholm but he also kindly took the time to answer our questions and wrote down some recommendations in my phone. Speaking as an experienced tour guide myself (from Ireland) I can tell you that this job is harder than you think. You need good people skills but also a wealth of knowledge and an ability to communicate that knowledge in a memorable way. I know a great guide…”
