Zayera Tours at a Glance
Who I am, what I offer, and how to book a private tour in Stockholm.
I’m Zayera Khan. Zayera Tours is my private tour business in Stockholm, Sweden. Stockholm has been my home since 2008. Before that, I lived and worked in Zurich, Amsterdam and Lausanne.
I guide in English, German and Swedish. Every tour is private and planned around you.
Two things make my tours different. I explain everyday life in Sweden, seen by someone who moved here. And my tours are LGBTQ+ friendly — I am a former board member of Stockholm Pride.

What makes my tours different: everyday life in Sweden and LGBTQ+ friendly tours
I show you the sights. I also tell you how life in Sweden really works — the good parts and the hard parts. I see Sweden as someone who moved here, so I can explain what surprises visitors, and why.
- Three languages. You get the tour in your own language.
- LGBTQ+ inclusive. I am a former board member of Stockholm Pride.
- A design background. I worked twenty years in UX strategy. I plan the pace so you finish curious, not tired.
