How to book Stockholm Royal Palace tickets

Hello, I plan on visiting Stockholm this summer. For Royal Palace tickets, I have some questions.
1. Are Royal Palace guides included in Stockholm city pass?
2. What museums are included in the ticket?
3. Best way to rent bikes in Stockholm?

This is my itinerary for now, what else should I add or remove?
Day 1: the royal palace , Stockholm cathedral Livrustkammaren , Nobel museum , national museum stockholm ,
Take bus to ostermaln, salu food hall, army museum , history museum
Day 2: Djugarden, viking museum, skansen, vasa museum , nordic museum,
Day 3: Fotografiska (art museum)
Thank you everyone!

I don't know about the Stockholm City Pass, but I can comment on your itinerary. You're going to be rushed on the first two days.

We did Djurgården, Skansen, Vasa, and the ABBA Museum in one day, and it was a rush. Skansen in particular is massive. You could spend a whole day there. I’d cut out a museum, but definitely keep the Vasa Museum. It is well worth seeing.

At Djurgården, rent bikes first. As soon as you arrive on the island from the north, there’s a visitor center on the right with bike rentals. Take a nice bike ride around the king's garden.

The island of Gamla Stan is a day on its own. I don’t know that you can fit that and Östermalm into a single day. I'd recommend you hire Håkan Fränden as a tour guide, if that's in your budget.

One thing not on your list that I would highly suggest you add is City Hall. It’s an impressive structure and the guided tour is excellent. You’ve never seen anything like the Golden Hall, lined with millions of gold mosaic tiles. The Nobel Prize banquet is held here, too.

I don't know. We didn't tour the Royal Palaces. Instead, we prioritized the Royal Armory (in the same building but lower level), which was exceptional. I see that's already on your list. When you go, be sure to see the royal carriages, in a separate section of the Armory (down a flight of stairs off to the side, I believe).

City pass say it's a 200 SEK ticket so I assume it's a standard ticket without guide. I would also assume it includes The Royal Apartments, The Treasury and Museum Three Crowns as all other tickets.
