Viola was very knowledgeable. The tour and information was great. I was amazed at the size of the boat from the minute you walk in the museum. A must see!

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!

I’ve been here probably a dozen times and it is truly unique. Can’t recommend it enough for visitors to Stockholm
Incredible history and preservation of a relic.
So glad we booked this guided tour. Sebastian efficiently guided us around the Vasa museum. We would never have acquired the knowledge he shared on our own. Thank you and highly recommend the guided toue
Olivia was a fantastic guide, well timed and knowledgeable. Great mix of info, time to explore and hitting all the important parts in 2 hours.
So awesome! Sebastian was extremely engaging and passionate about the subject. I wish I had history teachers like him when I was in high school. Amazing tour.
Everyone told us not to miss the Vasa- and they were right. We only planned on spending two hours in the museum but really needed 3-4 to see all the things! Our guide, Olivia, was incredible and I wish we’d had longer to see the museum from top to bottom, but I guess we just have to come back. For those who don’t like big crowds, plan to go early. It was a little crowded on our Saturday morning tour, but we saw the big tour busses pull in as we walked out around noon.
The museum itself is very impressive, spotless, and lot of interesting history amazing, lots to see.
Anna was informative, responsive and generous with her time. All 5 of us remarked how wonderful it was to have her as a tour guide. She made it more meaningful.
Excellent experience at the Vasa. Well worth your time when visiting Stockholm. Marta, our guide was excellent. Well paced tour with a lot of interesting and relevant information. Highly recommend, and if you are lucky you will get Marta.
