Excellent tour of the Palace with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Avoided the crowds and learned so much with this private tour.
Fer Donoso is an excellent guide, providing great details about the Royal Palace and its place in Sweden’s past and present.
Fantastic venue. Lots to see. Tour guide was enjoyable and very knowledgeable. She was super organized and easy to listen to.
Fer Donoso was a fantastic guide. Best private tour we’ve experienced thus far. She was extremely knowledgeable with so much historical background on Sweden. I highly recommend this private tour if you’re looking for a personal experience. Truly learned so much. Just wished more of the Palace rooms were open. Some were closed due the Kings & Queens 50th. celebration. Again, thank you Fer for a lovely experience.
Excellent tour of the Royal Palace by Fer with a focused discussion on the royalty, political evolution and the use of the palace. Highly recommend Fer and this tour.
Just fantastic!!! The Fer Donoso is an excellent guide!
Had an amazing tour with Fer who was highly knowledgeable and showed us all there was to see in the palace. She also made a few suggestions about visiting other Stockholm sights. Communication was great and we fully enjoyed it!!
Fer was engaging and very knowledgeable about history of Sweden and the palace - she was very professional
Having a personal guide was wonderful. Fer was our guide and she was fantastic. She was so knowledgeable and thorough with her explanations. Being that she was our personal guide made it easy to hear her and ask questions. It made the whole experience much more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this tour.
It was a fantastic tour! Maria was a wealth of knowledge and made the tour a delight! Maria greeted us as old friend and made us feel comfortable from the start.
