KONINKLIJKE kasteeltour Gripsholm en Drottningholm PRIVÉ

Gripsholm Castle was our first stop—and wow, it’s like stepping into a fairytale. The castle itself is stunning, perched right by Lake Mälaren, and filled with centuries of royal history. The portraits gallery was fascinating, and Anna’s stories about the Swedish royals made everything come alive. We had time to stroll around the grounds too, which were just breathtaking. Afterward, we headed to the quaint little town of Mariefred, which was such a hidden gem. I loved walking its cobbled streets, browsing the tiny local shops, and grabbing a fika (Swedish coffee break!) with a cinnamon bun in a cozy café by the water. It was the perfect touch of authentic Swedish life. The final stop was Drottningholm Palace, and it truly felt like saving the crown jewel for last. The palace is grand and elegant but also feels very "lived in" compared to some other European castles. The gardens were dreamy, and we even spotted a few swans gliding by the lake. I appreciated how Anna gave us the flexibility to explore at our own pace while always being nearby with interesting insights. This tour was worth every krona for the comfort, depth, and personal touch. Whether you're solo, with friends, or a couple, I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to experience Sweden's royal side, small-town charm, and natural beauty all in one amazing day. Just don’t forget comfy shoes and your camera you’ll use both a lot!

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.

Nice tour operatorsOur guide was warm, knowledgeable, and attentive, making sure every moment was smooth and enjoyable. With no crowds, no rush, and the flexibility to explore at our own pace, it truly felt like having Stockholm all to ourselves. If you want to see the best of Stockholm in style, comfort, and luxury this is the tour to book!
