- Offering 19 reviews of UlkoTours - Private Tours in St. Petersburg
We visited St-Petersburg in April 2011 and made the choice to select a tour guide during our stay in the city. Choosing a guide from Internet brings a little apprehension and we choose Elena Ulko’s agency based on the numerous positive feedbacks found on the web.
From the very first contact with Elena, things started to get moving and preparing the trip to Russia was much simpler. Elena recommended a very nice hotel and organized our...

Stockholm city tour & the Vasa Museum
Stockholm has during the centuries transformed from a fortress to a town, 
from a town to a city and is today the capital of Sweden, some say, the capital of Scandinavia, but we will let you decide on that.
Our first stop is at the most popular viewpoint, from where we have a splendid panoramic view of the city. Overlooking a few of the 14 islands, which Stockholm is founded upon, the Old Town as well as the Vasa Museum and City Hall.
The Vasa Museum (see photo to the right) is located on an island referred to as Royal Djurgården. It is the Stockholmers most beloved recreational area and home to the city’s amusement park, the open-air museum Skansen, the playhouse of Astrid Lindgren “Junibacken” and much much more. The Vasa Museum displays the Swedish warship Vasa, which could be considered Sweden’s greatest failure but is today instead one of our greatest success stories. Vasa sank on her maiden voyage, in Stockholm’s inner harbour, in 1628. After 333 years at the bottom of the sea the Vasa was salvaged and stands before us 95% intact.
The City Hall is renowned for its architecture, the Blue Hall and Golden Hall, and for being the site of the Nobel Prize Banquet. As we wonder through this very important building fun and interesting facts like why it took 12 years to complete and who was the most important man throughout the construction are reviled.
Included:
Pick up and drop off by the ship
Comfortable a/c vehicle for transportation
Entrance to the Vasa Museum and the City Hall.
Tour cost:
*130 USD per person if bought separately.

A great introduction to the city of Stockholm from the comfort of your vehicle! 
This two-hour arrangement covers the city districts of Södermalm, Gamla Stan, Norrmalm, Östermalm, and Djurgården, each with its own special character. Crossing Gamla Stan, the enchanting, medieval Old Town we pass the Royal Palace over-looking Stockholm’s inner harbour.

As we tour the island of Djurgården we pass the Gröna Lund Tivoli and Skansen open-air museum.
Our tour continues through the Diplomatic Town to Östermalm – the city’s most fashionable neighborhood with stately apartment buildings to Sergels Torg, the focal point of modern Stockholm.
In the distance we will see the three crowns atop the imposing City Hall (see photo to the right). Passing this impressive building, renowned for its architecture, murals, mosaics and as the site of the Nobel Prize Banquet, we’ll learn more about the life of Alfred Nobel.
Proceeding south via the Western Bridge to Södermalm, the largest out of the 14 islands, which Stockholm is founded upon. Stockholm’s south side contains a number of small closely integrated neighborhoods. Our tour ends with a short stop at Fjällgatan for a splendid panoramic view of the city.

INTENSIVE Stockholm : Program Duration 5 hrs
Walking Downtown tour + Vasa Museum + Private Boat tour
The Deluxe experience packages up Stockholm’s most beloved arrangements 
in one relaxed and fun filled day!
Intensive Stockholm includes:
Private Viking Walk (or City Walk) - Set amongst the atmospheric surrounds of the Old Town, this 90-minute walk invites you to pillage and plunder your way through Sweden’s culture and history, complete with a Viking guide. Stopping by such famous landmarks as the Royal Palace, Parliament building and Lake Mälaren, we also explore the hidden spots off the tourist track. (It is also possible to book a historical walk of the Old Town, with a regular guide).
Guided Tour of the Vasa Museum - This soon-to-be 400-year old beauty, 
The Vasa Ship, is one of the only ships from this era that has been salvaged almost in full. In this private guided tour of the museum you will learn about the ship, the events surrounding its demise and the salvation process - as well as seeing this amazing vessel and surrounding exhibits.
Private Stockholm by Water Tour - It is from the water that you can truly experience the beauty of our city, which consists of one third urban development, one third forest and one third water, and in this sightseeing tour we skip the traffic and soak up the ambience of the waterways. This electric boat is virtually silent, allowing for a peaceful and enjoyable tour of the city. Your skipper is also an Authorized Stockholm Guide.
Included:
Entrance to the Vasa Museum. Free time of approx. 1 hour will be provided for lunch.
If guests choose the Viking Walk as part of their arrangement a separate Viking guide will join the guests for that part of the tour, approx. 1,5 hours. The Skipper and guide throughout the day will wait for the guests by the boat during this time.
