Love the approach to the palace - The drive out to Drottningholm took about 25 minutes, and along the way our guide pointed out different neighborhoods, telling us bits of Swedish history that we never would have learned on our own. The approach to the palace itself was absolutely breathtaking the symmetry of the gardens and the way the building sits by the water made for a stunning first impression.

Nice tour - From the moment I booked this private tour to Drottningholm Palace and the Chinese Pavilion, communication was smooth and clear. On the day of the tour, my guide arrived exactly on time outside my Airbnb in Södermalm. The fact that they pick up from anywhere in Stockholm — even the ports makes it so convenient, especially for travelers who aren’t familiar with the city’s transport system.

It's so unique and full of amazing details - Visiting Drottningholm Palace and its Royal Chinese Pavilion felt like stepping directly into a captivating chapter of European history. This private tour offered a deep dive into the lives of Swedish royalty and the cultural currents that shaped their world. Our guide was exceptional, providing context and insight that made the experience so much more meaningful than a simple walk-through. The palace itself, a testament to Baroque architecture, is a powerful reminder of Sweden's past as a great power. But it was the Chinese Pavilion that truly captured our imagination. Worth the time spent.

Ghosted on this private tour - Zero stars not an option. Ten minutes early at hotel pickup point,waited 15 minutes, no show. Call tour operator Guide Father no answer. Called Viator support, they could not contact them also. This was a private tour. Pricey, left a four hour gap in our plans and in a foul mood. Really wanted to see this palace, and will not. Do not recommend this tour. Book at your own risk

Possible scam - This business has charged us for a tour we did not take. We have tried numerous times to work with Viator and this comapny without any success and have had to go to our bank to keep our money from being stolen. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY.
