Description
Welcome to one of Europe's largest and most vibrant castles. The castle is HM the King's official residence and essential parts of the monarchy's representation take place here, while large parts of the castle are open all year round. Located in Gamla Stan or The Old Town, The Royal Palace of Stockholm has more than 1,400 rooms, 11 floors, and only 1 balcony. The Palace is also the largest official Royal residence in Europe, even larger than Buckingham Palace in London. There are many attractions here - the Treasury with the royal regalia, Museum Three Crowns about the castle's medieval history, and not least the Representation floors with the pompous parade rooms.

My husband and I booked Fer for a private tour of the Royal Palace. Her communication prior to the tour was clear, efficient and detailed via email. During the tour, she was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the palace and was able to answer all of our questions regarding the history of Sweden. She was also very adept at avoiding the large tour groups who were crowding certain rooms, so the tour always had the feel of being private. I would 100% recommend Fer for any tour!
The Stockholm Palace is alive with activity and so interesting as it is a modern day palace, in use by the current Royal Family. Our guide wove facts and stories seamlessly between history and current events. Interesting and beautiful. Our tour made us appreciative of Sweden’s past as well as their future.
We arrived at the meeting place that was given to me. Our guide never showed up. The tour was to end at the meeting place. We waited there to see what happened and if we could take the next tour. We never saw anyone connected with the tour. I want my money back!
Dear Cathy I am deeply sorry about this confusion. I got 2 bookings from you and a cancellation (back to back), that is why I assumed you totally cancelled the tour. If you are still in town, I would love to guide you at the Royal Palace, free of charge of course. My sincere apologies for this mistake. This is the first time ever, that something like this has ever happened due to the double booking and cancellation received from you. I have requested an immediate and full refund of your tour so you should get it through Viator (I already got an email confirmation from them confirming they are processing the full refund to you). Again my sincere apologies for this confusion, and I hope I can make it up to you. Fer
Excellent tour of the Palace with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Avoided the crowds and learned so much with this private tour.
Fer Donoso is an excellent guide, providing great details about the Royal Palace and its place in Sweden’s past and present.
Fantastic venue. Lots to see. Tour guide was enjoyable and very knowledgeable. She was super organized and easy to listen to.
Fer Donoso was a fantastic guide. Best private tour we’ve experienced thus far. She was extremely knowledgeable with so much historical background on Sweden. I highly recommend this private tour if you’re looking for a personal experience. Truly learned so much. Just wished more of the Palace rooms were open. Some were closed due the Kings & Queens 50th. celebration. Again, thank you Fer for a lovely experience.
Excellent tour of the Royal Palace by Fer with a focused discussion on the royalty, political evolution and the use of the palace. Highly recommend Fer and this tour.
Just fantastic!!! The Fer Donoso is an excellent guide!
Had an amazing tour with Fer who was highly knowledgeable and showed us all there was to see in the palace. She also made a few suggestions about visiting other Stockholm sights. Communication was great and we fully enjoyed it!!
