Vasa Museum Guided Tour, Including Ticket & Guide
Description
We will meet by the entrance of the museum, to skip the waiting line and enter the museum all together. We will start by going over the Swedish Empire and the war in which Gustav Adolf had the ship commissioned, what was the purpose of the ship? Who was the enemy during these years? Something happened during the construction and the ship sank, what happened? and whose fault was it? Many years later it was found and salvaged, but this was no easy task. We will go over the engineering project together and show you the maps used in the 19th century to find the location of the ship, and how it was found in the 1950s. Once it was salvaged, a time capsule of the 17th century was opened and many secrets were revealed of how life was back then. This tour is the perfect choice for the ones who want to get a deep knowledge about everything that happened, in and out of the ship. Come full of questions, because we want to answer all of them!

Incredible museum, more multifaceted than just the ship. Our guide was knowledgeable and conveyed information well.
If you haven’t already tried it, go ahead, it’s the best experience you will ever have ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a great treasure. The history was amazing. The employees really gave a wonderful presentations.
Very good tour, informative and so interesting. Bea, our tour guide was incredible. She was very well educated in Vasa and captured our attention with her stories about the ship.
Arturo was very knowledgeable and he was absolutely hilarious in his narration. I highly recommend this tour because you get a lot more than what the signage at the various exhibits explain. Our kids absolutely loved it and that's not easy in a museum about a single ship.
We were in Stockholm as part of a Viking Cruise . We booked this excursion separately from Viking and we are glad we did . It was much less expensive using Viator , a nice small group and our guide Dante was prompt , clear and extremely knowledgeable. We enjoyed the Vasa Museum so much !
Visiting the Vasa with a knowledgeable guide greatly enhances the wow factor of this museum as well as the knowledge that you come away with. Thank you for a great tour!
The VASA Museum is a must see for anyone visiting Stockholm! It is excellent, well laid out, informative and the displays from the actual ship to all the history goes far beyond just a museum! Our Viator guide Gaya was fantastic! She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the Vasa. She made the history come alive and made the overall experience even richer!! Highly recommend her!!
It was one of the best museums we’ve been to worldwide…great for kids and adults alike. Our guide, Johane (sp?) was great…so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. A must for anyone staying in Stockholm…also an easy walk from the waterfront by The Diplomat Hotel. Plan on several hours…take a bottle of water with you.
Touring the Vasa Museum with our guide, Kyra, was one of the highlights of our trip. She gave a concise, yet very informative presentation. Seeing the Vasa up close was more than impressive. Would highly recommend.
