Personal guide
You who come to Småland in a smaller group can book a personal guide in the Film Landscape. For private guiding, we can offer any bike tour, but also a tour by car that can be customized according to your specific wishes. Our most popular tour goes to the filming locations in Mariannelund as well as Pelarne, Bullerbyn, and Katthult. The experience takes about three hours.
During the tour, you will learn more about Astrid Lindgren’s parents, childhood, books, and films – and of course, hear local anecdotes from the filming of Emil in Lönneberga and The Children of Noisy Village. Those traveling by bus and train can be picked up at the station or nearby accommodation.
The tour includes coffee/tea and a hearty meatball sandwich from a local bakery, as well as tasting locally produced delicacies.
On our car and bus tours in English you will meet Carina and Carina. Do you wish German guide you will meet Simone Kästner. She originally comes from Berlin and now lives in Mariannelund.
The experience should be booked well in advance. Inquiries can be emailed to info@cyklaifilmlandskapetsmaland.se
”Tusind tak for den umage, som I gjorde jer, for at vi skulle få en så dejlig og interessant tur i Småland og på Katthult hos Emil og hjertelig tak for jeres venlige væsen, som gjorde vores tur der til en helt uforglemmelig god tur. Alle sammen var virkelig glade og vel fornøjede med turen, som I arrangerede for os.”

”Wir haben bei Carina und Carina eine Rundtour per Auto ab Vimmerby gebucht, da wir nur einen halben Tag zur Verfügung hatten und per Zug angereist waren.
Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen: Wir waren in Bullerbü, in Katthult und an verschiedenen Filmlocations in Mariannelund.”
