Interesting tour & great tour guide - I didn’t really have much knowledge on the Vasa before coming with us other than it was a ship and visiting the museum was one of the top three rated things to do in Stockholm. It was a great tour; our guide, Katherine was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She kept us interested in going for two hours.

Vasa Museum Tour - Katherine, our guide, was great. Wonderful personality, so knowledgeable, eager to answer any questions. The two hours flew by. We knew so little about the ship before visiting the museum. Not the case now. Fascinating. Definitely recommend.

Superb tour - A fantastic tour by our guide Catherine. The exhibit was breathtaking and would have been a far less experience without a very knowledgeable guide. Catherine was full of enthusiasm and energy. An encyclopedia level of facts about the ship delivered. I highly recommend this tour and I thank our guide

Great visit but being a seaman in those days must have been a living hell! - I’d heard and read about the Vasa but seeing it up close was a revelation! The museum was really well organized and truly informative about why and how the vessel sank. It also gave you a true picture of what life was like on board.

A Must-See Museum - This museum is an incredible journey back in time. The signage there was terrific, but what made this a truly memorable and valuable experience was the enthusiasm and knowledge of Gaia, our guide. If possible, request her services as she absolutely made this visit so very valuable!
