Meet your guide at the entrance to the Vasa Museum and head straight past the ticket line to enter the museum together. Learn about the history of the Vasa warship while you explore the museum with your guide. Start with details about the Swedish Empire and the war during which the ship was commissioned and discover how warnings about the ship's seaworthiness were ignored. Find out why the Vasa eventually sank on its maiden voyage, still within sight of the shipyard where it was constructed. Then, listen as your guide explains how the ship was later found and ultimately salvaged. See the 19th-century maps used to locate the ship and hear about the engineering involved in salvaging the wreck. Leave your tour with a deeper understanding of the Vasa warship's history, everything that happened, and how the museum as it is today came to be.

What are people saying about Stockholm

Lisa_L, Jun 2026

Learn the significance of Runes in the Countryside

Our large group of 11 was picked up at our house, which was very convenient for us. We needed to separate into two vehicles, but the guide was able to connect and talk to both vehicles during the trip. Gabriel had a passion for Runes, Viking & local history. They took us to places you would never see on your own. We were never rushed and always had the opportunity to stop for a WC or snacks. Be prepared for a long day, but it was very educational and enjoyable.

Our guide Anton is funny...

Our guide Anton is funny and informative. The boat is apparently a protected cultural heritage, it comfortably seats about 20 people (about half full at the 5 pm tour). Very pleasant way to spend almost 2 hrs learning about Stockholm/ Sweden while resting your feet :)

Stockholm: Walking Tour of the Old Town

John_N, Jun 2026

Excellent

This was a great overview on the history of Sweden and Stockholm. My tour guide, Sebastian, was very knowledgeable on a large range of subjects. He touched on history, geography, geology, government, people, life, culture, everything. I would highly recommend doing this tour your first morning in the city. That way you can appreciate a lot of the little things you see and experience later on your trip. Plus its an easy intro to the main part of the city and it will inform you on what to focus on with your time. Also if you can, seek out Sebastian. He was a top notch tour guide.

Vasa Museum Guided Tour, Including Ticket & Guide

Stephen_L, Jun 2026

Stunning museum brought to life by a wonderful guide

A must see whilst in Stockholm. The ship itself is simply stunning and the museum provides ample detail of Vasa's history, subsequent emergence and preservation. Our guide, Zoe, brought Vasa to life with her infectious enthusiasm and passion for the subject, resulting in a truly memorable visit. Highly recommended.

Best of Stockholm: Small Group Walking Tour (Max 10, 3 Hours)

Jeffery_F, Jun 2026

Excellent introduction to Stockholm and Swedish culture and history

This was one of the highlights of my first visit to Stockholm. August was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the city he grew up in. I especially appreciated how he connected Stockholm’s history to modern Swedish life and provided useful recommendations for exploring on my own afterward. The tour helped me understand the layout of the city and gave me a much greater appreciation for places like Gamla Stan and the waterfront areas. If you’re visiting Stockholm for the first time, I strongly recommend taking this tour as a starting point. You can then go back and spend more time at the Royal Palace and museums.

Stockholm: Archipelago Tour with live guide

Richard_S, May 2026

Delightful and informative, a good value

Comfortable boat with a cafe and lots of great viewing positions inside and outside. Our guide Matilda was perky and delivered her scripted tour with charm and humor on a microphone with clear and audible sound throughout the boat. She also took time to mingle with guests. One of the unique things about this tour is its frequent use of music to help illustrate the history of Sweden and Stockholm, including traditional songs and an overview of Swedish pop, including (of course!) ABBA. Most of the shoreline sights are during the first and last quarters of the cruise because the closest-in islands are more heavily populated. During the middle of the cruise we enjoyed a tasting of 3 Swedish akvavits and 1 vodka, along with a cookie and some water (plenty for the two of us, about $70), while we viewed the natural terrain on the islands farther out.

Excellent first time visitor tour superb guide with in-depth historical knowledge

Excellent knowledgeable guide, David delivered exceptional service, good historical and current information and paced the tour well to not feel rushed and really experience the places. The authentic lunch in a quiet lakeside cottage was wonderful, huge servings and the old town tour both tourist spots and out of the way treasures including Viking runes was the icing on the cake. Highly recommended and hotel pickup and recommendations for food and drink spots and further sightseeing was valuable. Great introductory tour with added insights and superior orientation for first time visitors.

Great experience! I have learnt so much not only food but delicious places that will definitely come back for meals. Teresa was informative, she went above and beyond with recommendations. She introduce and explain each dish in details with history and how it tastes. Overall it was an amazing time with amazing food. I highly recommend the tour.

Stockholm Speed Boat 2 Hour Archipelago Tour

Mary_B, Sept 2025

Great views of Stockholm for people who don't want a boring boat ride!

This whole experience was great fun! The guides were very helpful and upbeat from the very beginning when we had to get suited up. They provided warm gear that really made the difference between what could've been a cold ride but was instead perfectly comfortable. During the ride itself, the guide provided both interesting information and just the right amount of "thrill". I would highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys a speed boat ride and wants to see the archipelago. The only caution I would give is that you do have to be physically able to climb in and out – I'm 60 years old with Parkinson's and was able to do it but it was a little challenging. Totally worth it!
