Wonderful tour and lot’s to see. You can visit additional places after the tour ends which is nice. Our tour guides Tuva and Kerem were amazing! They always made sure to wait for us along the way as my mom cannot walk very fast. Kerem even carried a chair for her so that she can sit down between stops. The wonderful team really cared for their guests. Highly recommend.

I don’t write reviews often, but I was moved to do so today after an excellent tour experience at Stockholm’s Royal Palace. Oliver was our guide, and his enthusiasm, humor, and knowledge far surpassed our expectations. He is passionate and honest about Swedish history, and made every stop along the way an enjoyable moment.

    Good tour although very quick

    DavidJ_N, Sep 2026
    The tour of the palace was good although it was very rushed and hard to keep track. You definitely need more than an hour on this one

    Fantastic!

    Rick_P, Aug 2026
    Lot of walking to get there and steps inside. Someti.es crowded. Changing of the guard at noon is impressive.

    Walking through many...

    James_G, Aug 2026
    Walking through many rooms of palace was great. Guide provided much information about the Royal Family. This tour was excellent!

    Great outing

    Kirk_G, Aug 2026
    Very good guide- young and full of information- the guide leads you through the living quarters rather quickly. You must retrace to see everything- don’t miss the treasury which has many crowns and jewels.

    Inaccurate information...

    Diane_W, Aug 2026
    Inaccurate information from your company on how to actually pick up tickets making this a confusing exchange when it could have been very simple. The tour itself was wonderful!

    Nice 1hour tour

    We really enjoyed the tour. Oliver was our guide. He was very cool and an hour flew by. We learned so much from him.

    Palace tour

    Excellent tour of the palace...our guide Oliver was exceptional, very knowledgeable, loves his Sweden heritage

    This was so interesting and beautiful. Our guide, Oliver, was outstanding! The history of this place is not to be missed!

    unfortunately one of the...

    Claire_B, Jul 2026
    unfortunately one of the tour guides did not show up so our gal had two groups which was way too crowded. The palace itself is nice and there's lots to read but this tour is just a walk thru overview. You can go back thru on your own, but we would just skip the tour and do it on our own next time.

    Excellent much better...

    Daniel_K, Jul 2026
    Excellent much better than going separate. Knowledgeable tour guide really enjoyed the experience and will recommend

    Great tour

    Neeraj_I, Jul 2026
    It was a lovely tour. Had a great time. It was a very pleasant tour we learned a lot about history from the guide

    Worst Ever Tour

    Les_P, Jul 2026
    It was the worst Viator travel experience that I have ever had. The tour had over 30 people in it. That was about 20 overcapacity. The guide did the best she could but most of our group had difficulty hearing what she said. I did hear her say that another guide had a last minute emergency so 2 groups were combined. This is the peak of summer season . Why would you NOT have a back-up plan for a substitute tour guide? Poor management. Everybody in this group of 35 should get a REFUND due to poor experience.

    Wonderful tour with wonderful guides

    Palace tour

    Marcy_M, Jun 2026
    Description of the tour was very accurate. It was an introductory tour of the palace & then free time to explore on our own.

    Guide was not very...

    Leigh_B, Jun 2026
    Guide was not very knowledgable and rushed us through the guided part of the palace tour. It seemed like a good way to “skip the line” but would have been better to buy ticket and go on our own.

    Ok.

    MariaIsabel_A, Aug 2026
    Experience okay, rushed visit, knowledgeable guide. group very large, they should limit the number per group. And limit the number of groups per room.

    Response from Host, Aug 2026

    Dear guest, thank you so much for your feedback. We are glad you appreciated our knowledgeable guide, but you are absolutely right about the group sizes and the rushed pace. We understand that crowded rooms can take away from the experience. We are currently looking into our group size limits to ensure a more comfortable visit in the future. Thank you for helping us improve!

    A scam: prefer the museum's official website

    Didier_J, Jul 2026
    A pathetic experience Rushed visit, there were 60 of us for an English-speaking guide who didn't wait for everyone to be present before quickly rattling off her speech. Contrary to what she told us later, our ticket did not allow for a visit to the treasury; we went down and the person checking us confirmed that we did not have access to those rooms with our ticket. She told us that, in fact, it was not the first time this problem had happened with this operator, Viator. We are very dissatisfied with this visit. We should have booked via the museum's official website
