The Vassa Museum is one of the most impressive museums we've ever visited. And our tour guide, Fer Donoso, was so knowledgeable, kind, funny and interesting! We highly recommend both the museum and Fer!

Grateful for the guided tour

This was exceptional experience and even more so by having Maria Fernanda as my guide here and the Royal Palace. I’m sure that when I go back to Stockholm, I will be in contact with her again for more Stockholm insights. Well worth all the time. Lifetime of memories now! Also, when you both Maria Fernanda is listed as FER so be sure to ask for her!

Fer and the Vasa were a MUST!!!!

Fer was AWESOME! She was so informative and so easy to work with! She made us laugh while sharing the history of the Vasa. I HIGHLY recommend this tour and I hope you can get Fer as your guide!

poor instructions with regarding to meeting guide - we had to figure outmhowmtomgetmin on our own. thankfully museum staff let us in.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Dear Maureen, I hope you are doing well. Maureen in the Viator reservation states exactly where the meeting point is. Also I emailed you and texted you several times prior the beginning of the tour as I was in the museum all day, stating where I was standing, and what clothes was I wearing. I even called you and offered to look out for you inside, as I was there, but you chose to continue the visit without our services. Nevertheless, I hope you had a nice time at the Museum and that you were able to enjoy the rest of your visit. Have a great weekend.

Impressive museum experience

Very interesting history not only of the ship but of the time in which it was built. Guide was extremely knowledgeable and tailored content to our interests, pointing out many details we would have missed on our own. Outstanding museum experience.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you so much! It was a pleasure! I hope to see you back in Stockholm.

Das sollte jeder mal im Leben gesehen haben!

Durch unsere großartige Privatführung mit einer tolle sympatischen Führerin wurde das Schiff wieder lebendig. Man konnte sich durch ihre Erzählungen direkt in die damaligen Ereignisse reinversetzen. Die Führung hat uns noch weit über unseren Kurztripp hinaus begeistert. Sehr zu empfehlen. !!!!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Dear Andrea, Thanks for your kind words, I am so happy that you enjoyed your visit. I hope you will visit us in the near future again. Have a great rest of the week. Fer
