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!

Well worth the visit. Our guide Arthur was informative and engaging. He was knowledgeable and made the tour fun for all the group A fascinating part of Swedish history.
Arturo was knowledgeable, articulate and funny. His background in chemistry came in handy in explaining some things. His accent got in the way on my understanding sometimes, but I am an old man.
Very interesting and better with a guide who explains and retains the sequence of events Kyra was terrific
We did the tour today with Gaia, she really brought the whole visit to life, we were captivated for the whole 2 hours.

Leoni guided us through the Vasa Museum. She was knowledgeable interesting and made the visit fun as her passion for it showed through. Great tour.
The Vasa Museum was amazing and Sebastian, our guide was extremely knowledgable and interesting. We really enjoyed it.
Our tour of the Vasa Museum with Sebastian was one of the highlights of our time in Stockholm. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging, and he did an excellent job of bringing the history of the Vasa and its crew to life. The museum is fascinating on its own, but taking a guided tour was absolutely the right decision. There is so much history, detail, and context that it would be easy to miss important stories or feel overwhelmed trying to absorb it all independently. Sebastian expertly guided us through the museum, helping us understand not just what we were seeing, but why it mattered. His passion for the subject was evident throughout the tour, and he made sure we got the most out of our two hours together. We left with a much deeper appreciation for the Vasa and Swedish history than we ever would have gained on our own. If you're visiting the Vasa Museum, I highly recommend booking a tour with Sebastian. It will completely elevate your experience.
