Vasa Museum Guided Tour - Aggie was phenomenal. She thoroughly and enthusiasticly explained the ship, the passengers, and the salvage process. At times, she even provided additional documents or pictures on her phone that amplified a specific topic.

Aggie the entertainer - Agnieszka was informative, engaging and receptive to questions. It was so very interesting, I love historical facts especially when it pertains to me, and this was by no means a disappointment. This whole self discovery tour of Sweden has been on the cards for some years, my mother's family are all Swedish and the Vasa your was a bucket list box that needed ticking as alot of my family members have done it, Thanks for a wonderful experience

Fun day at the Vasa Museum - A day at the Vasa Museum and the exhibition Brick Wrecks together with children and grandchildren of five years. It was a lovely and fun day. Went just fine with the five year old who was interested in most things, curious and inquisitive. The Brick Wrecks exhibition was great and so fun to see the whole Vasa Museum again, (many many years since I was there). There was a children’s film but also the film shown about Vaasa was interesting for all of us. Had lunch in the restaurant. Good to have time to see everything, walk around and try different things. There was a track with timing to run on. Appreciated by most ages.

Great Tour. Makes the most of your visit to Vasa Museum - Our tour guide Zoe was wonderful. She was fun and friendly. She has an in depth knowledge of the Vasa and its history. She was able to point out and explain the significance of lots of things that we would have otherwise missed. There was only one other couple on our group so it felt like a very personal guided tour. We entered via the groups entrance so no queuing to get in. We never felt rushed and had time to look around on our own before the Museum closed. The Vasa is an incredible sight and this tour maximised the experience. Definitely worth doing this tour to get the most out of your visit.

Informativ and welcoming - the tour is highly recommended. Our guide, Sophie, was informative without talking everything down like a teacher. But it was above all her warm, friendly manner that impressed me. I just wanted to know what exciting thing she would tell us next! It was a lot of fun and you had the feeling that you were always out and about with a friend who you could ask anything about. Even though the ship was the attraction, Sophie gave the tour a nice&warm character. Thank you very much for these great hours!!! 💖

Very informative tour - Loved our tour guide Aggi! She was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour go by so fast. It was well worth taking a group tour since the museum is very large and we were able to get all the details this way. Highly recommend!
