So much I didn’t know including about Queen Christina, the Swedes being the first to change from being Christian to being Protestant and so much more. Frederick also helped me take videos and photos at the changing of the guard. I enjoyed our 4 hours together . So grateful that the tour went ahead even though I was the one customer”

Simas was very nice and helpful, making sure everything was going well and stress free. We had a nice break for a picnic, we had sandwich and sausages with a homemade cake for a dessert. Very nice experience, I recommend it to everyone who wants to try something different from boat cruise. Perfect for a short escape from the busy city centre. Thanks Simas :)”

“Zero stars not an option. Ten minutes early at hotel pickup point,waited 15 minutes, no show. Call tour operator Guide Father no answer. Called Viator support, they could not contact them also. This was a private tour. Pricey, left a four hour gap in our plans and in a foul mood. Really wanted to see this palace, and will not. Do not recommend this tour. Book at your own risk”
