Vasa Museum Guided Tour, Including Ticket & Guide
Description
We will meet by the entrance of the museum, to skip the waiting line and enter the museum all together. We will start by going over the Swedish Empire and the war in which Gustav Adolf had the ship commissioned, what was the purpose of the ship? Who was the enemy during these years? Something happened during the construction and the ship sank, what happened? and whose fault was it? Many years later it was found and salvaged, but this was no easy task. We will go over the engineering project together and show you the maps used in the 19th century to find the location of the ship, and how it was found in the 1950s. Once it was salvaged, a time capsule of the 17th century was opened and many secrets were revealed of how life was back then. This tour is the perfect choice for the ones who want to get a deep knowledge about everything that happened, in and out of the ship. Come full of questions, because we want to answer all of them!

Excellent tour of Vasa Museum. Great guide. Highly recommend seeing this museum with a guide. Lots to see & learn.
We booked at home for the tour. Olivia was our tour guide & she was fantastic. The entire museum was so interesting! Sweden has done an amazing job of preserving this amazing piece of history.
Olivia was an excellent tour guide. Knowledgeable/personable. Easy to understand. Had many good stories about Sweden’s history. Group nice size (16) One of the best tour guides we ever had
Bea was a fantastic guide and the museum was amazing. Best museum we saw on our trip. The history of the Vasa is very well explained.
Arthur was the most amazing Guide I’ve ever had; no matter the country, no matter the topic - best ever. Between history and geology… everything he said was fascinating!! His knowledge was so in-depth; his delivery - you wanted to catch every word. I could have listened to him all day.
A really great tour, we learned a lot about the Vasa
Visiting the Vasa museum was definitely one of the highlights during my time in Stockholm. It is considered one of the top places to visit for tourists, so do not miss it! I was glad I booked this tour as Sebastian was great at putting everything together that we needed to know about the museum in a way that made it engaging to listen to.
Wonderful Tour by Sebastian he was very knowledgeable, funny and a pleasure to take a tour from. The museum was extremely interesting.
This is a fantastic tour and I highly recommend it. The museum itself is great, but having someone tell us everything and guide us through it was the best way to do it. Our guide was wonderful and made it a very enjoyable couple of hours. The group size was good and it was great to have the tickets all sorted with no need to queue. A great way to see the Vasa.
We signed on to this tour with deliberately no knowledge of Vasa to have a surprise experience. With guide Joanes, truly among our top tours ever in 40 years of travel! He has a happy enthusiasm for everything Vasa that fills every stop of the tour with “you are there that day” feeling and knowledge. I won’t give out any detail here so you can be as amazed as we were. But be assured that Vasa museum by itself has an incredible amount of displays and information that could fill a day. With only 2+ hours, you want a guide like Joanes to make it all into a story you’ll enjoy in the telling and remember forever.
