A guided tour of this unique museum is a must! - Admittedly, I am not a huge museum person- but this guided tour with Aggie was a highlight of our trip to Stockholm! Sadly, Aggie’s last tour was ours but don’t let that stop you from going. We learned so much! There are several other fun museums to visit on “museum island” too!

When visiting Stockholm... - When visiting Stockholm it’s a must to go to the Vasa Museum to see and hear about the 400year old warship. Our guide Katherine was excellent. Her knowledge and passion for sharing the amazing history of the Vasa was fantastic. We loved her energy and easy going nature while sharing the historical facts surrounding the sinking recovery and restoration of the famous Stockholm Vasa warship. A 5 star guide well worth the money. Thank you Katherine

Book this tour! Excellent guide! - On a beautiful May morning, our guide met us outside the museum and was very good about keeping track of our small group. She was very well informed and very friendly, also telling us about the people who were onboard the ill fated ship, which brought history to life. We also learned about places to eat and what else to do in Stockholm. I recommend this tour-it was the highlight of our trip!

Tour the Vasa museum with Gaia to have a great time - Gaia was wonderful. I loved her enthusiasm and she was very knowledgeable. She reached out 24 hrs prior to the tour to let us know where to meet which was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Gaia to learn about the history of the area and all the little known information about the Vasa.
