Great half day tour out of the city.

Great half day trip out of the city. Our tour guide was also our driver. Very friendly and informative. Gripsholm castle was my favorite. A lot of history which was interesting. The little ferry was a surprise. .

Herman was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable and explained what we were seeing! The tours of the castle and palace were wonderful. It was great to have a personal guide telling us Swedish history and describing events from long ago. Highly recommend this tour and Herman in particular.

Interesting

Castle and Palace history. Tour would have been better if we had a 30 minute time period to eat a lunch since tour was over 4 hrs. long.

Really enjoyed our day with Katarina! She was entertaining and engaged everyone in our group. Her knowledge of Swedish history was astonishing and we learned so much! We loved that it was by car so we could enjoy the countryside, and we even got to go on a car ferry on the return trip, which the kids enjoyed. Highly recommended!

Great way to explore the Royal palaces

Stephanie_B, Apr 2023

This tour was the highlight of my Stockholm visit! Fantastic tour guides and beautiful sights. Castles were closed due to season so we toured the outside and then also went to the Royal Apartments for indoor exploring.
