The city and its beautiful surroundings - A wonderful and very personal tour experience! Even though I was in Stockholm for only a short time, this private tour made sure I saw the best of the city and its beautiful surroundings. Both Gripsholm and Drottningholm Palaces were stunning — rich in history and Swedish culture. The personal guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the day feel very special. I also loved the hidden gems and local spots we visited along the way. Highly recommend this for anyone wanting to experience Stockholm in a unique and memorable way

Such a cozy town! - I booked this mainly for the castles but ended up loving the little stop at Mariefred. Gripsholm Castle was different from any I’ve seen—very picturesque. Our guide gave space but was around when we needed info. It’s more of a calm, quality day out rather than an info-heavy tour, which I appreciated.

Quiet Views and Rich Stories - Enjoy every bit of it! The drive out to Gripsholm was peaceful, no rush and the castle itself had this calm, old-world vibe. Entrance into the charming town I didn’t expect to enjoy that stop so much. Just be sure to wear comfy shoes, there’s a bit of walking. This isn’t your typical crowded group tour, and I’m glad for that.

Not Your Average Castle Tour - What I liked most? It didn’t feel scripted. Our guide was chill, not pushy, and we had time to enjoy each place without a timer on us. Gripsholm had these views that made me want to just sit and take it in. And Drottningholm... well, it's postcard-perfect. Smooth ride, nice conversations, great mix of city + countryside.

My regards to our guides Sophia! - Gripsholm and Drottningholm were both cool and it is nice time setting my eyes there in their own ways. Our guide did a great job of explaining some stuff to us and making it feel more than just a bunch of old buildings
