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.

Swedish History - Really enjoyed our day with Katarina! She was entertaining and engaged everyone in our group. Her knowledge of Swedish history was astonishing and we learned so much! We loved that it was by car so we could enjoy the countryside, and we even got to go on a car ferry on the return trip, which the kids enjoyed. Highly recommended!

Great way to explore the Royal palaces - This tour was the highlight of my Stockholm visit! Fantastic tour guides and beautiful sights. Castles were closed due to season so we toured the outside and then also went to the Royal Apartments for indoor exploring.

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.
