“Our guide Kara was excellent! She knows SO MUCH about history. Aside from Kara being excellent, this tour was just a little too long for us. We aren’t mega history buffs and it was a bit intense - long tour with lots of standing, not a lot of places to sit.”
Use a mobile Stockholm Pass for entry to 50+ museums, palaces, cruises, and attractions over 1 to 5 consecutive days. The Vasa Museum is included, along with Skansen, the Royal Palace, Nobel Prize Museum, boat trips, and seasonal archipelago outings. Plan carefully, since transport and some reservations are separate.
“We booked the package online understanding that some of the features would not be available in Winter. A key drawcard for us was the guided archipelago trip offered by Stromma. Having double checked before buying the pass both the Go site and the Stromma site confirmed the trip was operating on the day we needed. When we arrived to redeem our ticket we were told the trip would not be going and we were limited to a much shorter tour around the city. Very very disappointed and feel quite ripped off.”

“I recently joined a guided walking tour in Stockholm, and it was fantastic! Our guide, Bea, was amazing—so lovely, full of information, fun anecdotes, and fascinating stories. She was also caring and attentive, making sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged throughout the day. We began at the beautiful Stockholm City Hall, where Bea shared intriguing insights about its history and architecture. Then, we wandered through the enchanting streets of Gamla Stan (Old Town), learning about Stockholm’s rich past. The highlight was the ferry ride to the Vasa Museum, where Bea led us through the history of the spectacular 17th-century warship, Vasa. Her explanations made the ship’s story even more ...”

“Our tour with Ana of Vasa Museum and Old City 28/08/25 Ana proved to be an exceptional guide. She effortlessly conveyed her enthusiasm for her topic, and shared the depth of her knowledge. She had a light touch and a sense of humour. We particularly liked that she was a keen researcher. For example, when we asked her about a topic she didn’t have an immediate answer to (the positioning of a tall factory chimney in a square of palatial buildings) she looked it up during her break. We not only learned about why the chimney was there, it was the remains of building originally purposed for newspaper publishing, we…”

Our guide, Äsä, is a history professor, and she had our full attention, including our 13 year old daughter, as soon as we got into her car. She has a wonderful gift of storytelling and making history come alive, both in the Vasa Museum and while touring Gamla Stan on foot.
