A rooftop tour is a guided tour of the city and country´s history- from then and now - but instead of taking a regular guided tour, we conduct ours on a rooftop.
You will wear a full body harness which is connected to our wire system attached to the roof, running alongside a catwalk system. We walk on this catwalk, secured into our safety system. During the tour there are some passages where you need to be able to bend your knees, climb up and down some staircases, and walk on the catwalk where only a 1/4 of the tour track has a railing. This is not a climbing or repelling adrenaline activity, but rather a unique and interesting guided tour with fantastic views.
Our track is 300 m long, with several platforms. On the platforms the guide will speak about interesting and entertaining stories of what you can see whilst you are enjoying the views. Eventhough it is a short walk the tour takes 1 hr. 15 min. from start to finish.

From the start at the meeting point until the end of of the tour back on the ground it takes 1 hour and 15 minutes. We go through safety measurements, get dressed properly with a harness. We spend approx 50-55 minutes on the roof.

We do not cancel tours due to rain, rather the saying " When in Rome, do as the Romans do! " applies. The guide of the day always goes up on the rooftop prior to the tour, to check the conditions. In the event of rough winds, thunder or snowstorm or even extreme fog the guide may decide to cancel the tour for safety reasons. Should that happen You will get Your money back.

Yes, if you notify us no later than 7 days prior to your booking. Remember though, that you may only change the tour date, cancellation is not possible.

Your gift voucher is valid for booking until June 5th, i.e. You can book your tour for later in the summer, as long as you book before the voucher expires.

Everything can happen. Illness or a cancelled trip might spoil Your chances to a booked Rooftop Tour. You can always rebook or prolong Your tour or gift certificate. However, all tours can be cancelles due to the Swedish law " Konsumenköplagen" ( except a Gift Card you received as a gift ). In that case, we will always refund Your money.

It is up to you. It is not dangerous to do a Rooftop Tour, this is ´nt a climbing adventure. But it contains bending of the knees, leaning forward etc. so if that makes you dizzy we would like you reconsider. We use fullbody harnesses that are adjusted and fixed over your chest and around each thigh. If one falls on the roof, we cannot guarantee You won´t fall on Your stomach and that counts for everyone.
