Stockholm, from palace rooms to open water

This five-day private Stockholm tour is designed for travellers who want the capital’s essential places without the stop-start feel of a standard city package. Four nights at Grand Hôtel create one comfortable base, with private airport transfers and carefully spaced days across Gamla Stan, the Royal Palace, City Hall, Djurgården and the Vasa Museum.

The programme brings history and contemporary Sweden together. A private guide adds context at Stockholm’s royal and civic landmarks, while a design-led visit introduces the city’s quieter creative side. Dining is selected around the guest, not forced into a fixed tasting-menu format, and free time remains built into the stay.

The final full touring day changes the perspective completely. A private motorboat and captain take you into the Stockholm Archipelago for an unrushed day on the water, with lunch aboard and one meaningful island stop instead of constant hopping. Sauna, swimming or kayaking can be added on request.

This is Guidance DMC’s signature first-visit Stockholm journey: private, comfortably paced and coordinated from airport arrival to departure. VIP airport assistance and a larger luxury yacht upgrade are available on request.
