Engaging and storytelling tour - My husband and I booked the private tour of Gripsholm Castle and Drottningholm Palace, and it was, without a doubt, the highlight of our trip to Stockholm. If you're going to splurge on one experience, this is it. Our guide, Sophia, was an absolute treasure. She wasn't just a guide; she was a storyteller, bringing to life the history, intrigue, and even the scandalous tales of Sweden's royals. We felt like we were getting a personal history lesson from a friend, not a canned tour. The private car was a huge plus, allowing us to travel in comfort and take in the stunning Swedish countryside without a care in the world.

Our guide picked us up right at our hotel in a very comfortable car and gave us fascinating insights into Swedish history along the way. Gripsholm Castle was breathtaking – the interiors felt like stepping into another century, and the portraits gallery was incredible. After that, we visited charming Mariefred, where we had coffee by the lake and enjoyed the peaceful small-town vibe. Drottningholm Palace was the perfect finale – it’s stunning inside and the gardens are like something from a fairytale.

It’s a long drive to the... - It’s a long drive to the first stop, and the entire trip lasts 5-6 hours, but the castle and palace are worth the trip. Be sure to have a big meal beforehand since there is no food and no opportunity to eat or buy food. Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging.
