ABOUT SCANDIKIDSTOURS
A team of enthusiasts
An initiative specially designed for children
Scandikidstours is the brainchild of two agencies that have been operating in Scandinavia for almost 10 years: NORDIC INSITE and Stockholm à la carte.
Drawing on their proven expertise as guides, and realising that there was a real shortage of tours adapted to young travellers, Christine and Isabelle have combined their know-how as guides, tour organisers and professionals to create tours designed and adapted to the specific needs of children.
All our tours are the result of our respective cultural experiences and our teams’ multi-disciplinary knowledge. With us, your children (and parents) can explore and learn without ever getting bored!
A team of experienced guides
Our team is made up of guides and activity leaders who pay particular attention to interaction with children. They use a teaching method based on exchange and dialogue with the little travellers, inviting them to take an active part in discovering the city, its history or the theme targeted in the walk.
Christine lives in Copenhagen where she has worked as a professional travel organizer for almost 10 years. She is the creator of Scandikidstours and is responsible for the tours offered in Copenhagen. Blessed with plenty of humour and a specialist in Denmark, she brings to the company her good mood and her professionalism in the organization of seamless tours.
Isabelle lives in Stockholm where she works as a licensed Stockholm guide and designer of guided tours for almost 10 years. She responded enthusiastically to Christine’s idea of creating tours in Scandinavia specially designed for children and taking into account their specific needs. Possessing great creativity, a specialist of Sweden, she brings to the company her energy and her imagination for the organization of tours in Stockholm.
Virginie lives in Oslo where she has worked as a Destination Manager and as a licensed Oslo guide for almost 15 years. Virginie also accompanies groups of travellers all over Norway which she knows inside out. She brings her expertise, pleasant disposition and good ideas for organizing tours in Oslo.
Marie-Cerise has lived in Stockholm for almost 5 years where she works as a museum guide, tour leader and licensed guide for the City of Stockholm. She has worked as an interpreter and translator and therefore has an extensive and colourful vocabulary in many languages. She brings her joy, attention to detail and valuable skills to museums and the city of Stockholm
Monique has lived in Stockholm for over 30 years and works as a teacher of foreign languages and Swedish for immigrant health staff. Monique is educated in France as a trilingual guide interpreter, a profession which she has continued with passion. A few years ago, she graduated as a licensed Stockholm guide. She brings her good humour, her joy, her organizational skills, her love for children of all ages and her passion for the theatre.
Polina lives in Stockholm where she has worked as a licensed guide and interpreter for 7 years. She believes that children should be allowed to explore the city in their own way. Discovering the city can be done in many different ways but the most important is that the experience has to be as interesting for children as for adults! It’s an educational and fun pastime in which the whole family should be happy to take part in.
After many trips between Stockholm and Belgium, Jérémie moved definitively to Sweden 3 years ago. He is licensed guide for the City of Stockholmworks as a school assistant with children aged 6 to 12 at the “Lycée Français de Stockholm”. A tour leader in his spare time, Jérémie is currently studying to become a licensed guide in Stockholm. By dint of strolling the streets of the city with his camera in hand, Jérémie knows all the nooks and crannies of Stockholm.
An initiative specially designed for children
Our team is keen to get the message across to children by using objects and props that allow them to immerse themselves symbolically in the period or theme covered by the walk.
Trained in guiding techniques, our guides call on the sense of detail and the acuity of young travellers to bring out the elements that strike a chord in children’s memories and thirst for discovery.
Passionate, smiling and good communicators, they know how to establish a climate of trust and good humour that is conducive to the smooth running of the tour.
Flexible and capable of adapting to unforeseen circumstances (weather, annoyance, fatigue, etc.), and of reacting to even the craziest questions, they ensure a calm and relaxed visit (in the Scandinavian spirit).
A unique range of tours
A varied range of tours that explore Scandinavia from different angles: from the Vikings to Scandinavian design and the great historical or imaginary figures. A range of tours backed up by a skilled, multi-disciplinary team.
An active
pedagogy
A teaching method that places discovery and action at the heart of the relationship. Children are encouraged by the guide to take an active part in the adventure. Accessorised stagings allow participants to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the period being recounted.
Attentive
guides
Our guides listen carefully to children's specific needs and adapt to their questions. They create a fun, interactive relationship that involves both older and younger children in the walk.
