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!

Incredible museum; beyond expectations.
The tour is well organized, lots of communication before tour starts. My guide Elena was fantastic very knowledge.
Must do when in Stockholm. Vasa is just a beautiful and unbelievable experience. Irene, our guide, is so knowledgeable and cool.
Excellent tour of Vasa Museum. Great guide. Highly recommend seeing this museum with a guide. Lots to see & learn.
I will tell you about my incident. I booked the Vasa tour for 5 people. On the day of the tour, one person could not go due to an indisposition. We mentioned it and they told us that nothing could be done. My surprise was that they didn't even give me the ticket to give to someone else. I understand that it may be that way due to policy, and that the ticket and the tour for that person cannot be refunded, but they didn't pay for the ticket… I don't know, that part was terrible. Regarding the tour, we were lucky to be with Kyra, a wonder, recommended for her attention, her explanations, and details. The tour is a must-do, though I hope you don't have my bad luck.
Muchas gracias por compartir tu experiencia Antonio. Primero, me alegro de que te gustase el tour con Kyra, es una guia excelente. En cuanto a tu situación, entiendo que es una faena, estoy seguro de que la persona que enfermo tenia muchas ganas de venir al tour. Nos avisaste el mismo día a las 8.30 de la mañana, y el tour empieza a las 10.00. Mencionas que no hemos pagado la entrada pero la realidad es que si la hemos pagado. Para poder entrar por la puerta de grupos y saltarnos toda la cola de espera, nosotros la noche anterior compramos las entradas al museo desde un panel de guias. El museo Vasa es el mas visitado de Escandinavia, y el único en Estocolmo que no tiene descuento a mayores de 65 ni estudiantes, ponen las normas que ellos quieran. Se que da mucha rabia, nosotros somos los primeros que queremos ayudar lo máximo posible pero a veces nos encontramos son situaciones que no podemos modificar. Espero que os gustase Estocolmo.
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
