Excellent tour guide - Kate was a wonderful guide! She explained Swedish history in a way that was somehow interesting and made the castle and palace much more fun to tour. We are a family with 2 kids (ages 17 and 15) and we were all interested in the interesting stories she shared about Swedish royalty. She was knowledgeable and friendly, and drove a clean minivan to transport us. Highly recommend!

Game of Thrones- Swedish Edition. 😂 - This was a fantastic tour of two amazing locations just outside of Stockholm. Kate made Swedish history come alive. Not only were the locations spectacular but with Kate‘s knowledge, enthusiasm, and professionalism it took everything to another level. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to know a little bit more about the history of Sweden and see amazing historical places.

Calm and Reflective Tone - Beautiful tour that blended elegance and education. Drottningholm and Gripsholm were stunning, but it was the quiet insight and depth from our guide that truly stood out. A peaceful, meaningful experience.

History and Fun on a cold but Beautiful Day - Toured in March and it was cold but beautiful and sunny. Kate picked us up just as communicated and outlined our plan to visit the Palace and Castle. She personally led the tours first through the palace and grounds while sharing a wealth of history and inside stories about the monarchy. Due to time of year we were unable to go inside the Gripsholm castle but we toured the grounds and once again Kate shared knowledge and history of the castle.

Drottningholm and Gripsholm - Herman was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable and explained what we were seeing! The tours of the castle and palace were wonderful. It was great to have a personal guide telling us Swedish history and describing events from long ago. Highly recommend this tour and Herman in particular.

Touring from Stockholm in style - This amazing tour not only showed me Drottningholm Palace and Gripsholm Castle but so much of the beautiful countryside on the drive there as well as the ferry trip home. A very knowledgeable tour guide who made the day so interesting and informative and a wonderful driver with a magnificent singing voice. I couldn't have asked for more. I can highly recommend this tour to others who want to see more of the Swedish countryside and some of its beautiful historic buildings.

Interesting - Castle and Palace history. Tour would have been better if we had a 30 minute time period to eat a lunch since tour was over 4 hrs. long.
