Your Private Guide will accompany you on the ferry cruise and lead you through the exhibits on the history and heritage of the Swedish royal family at the Drottningholm Palace Museum. You will hear many fascinating stories about the palace and the kings and queens who lived here since the 1600s. You will also enjoy a relaxing walk through the Versailles-inspired palace gardens that feature numerous statues and fountains.
