Nice tour - We lucked out and where the only ones on the tour. We had a very pleasant and informative day with Calle. He was very informative and we enjoyed all of the stops. He showed us in a lovely cafe for lunch. This tour is a nice way to see the countryside and learn Swedish history

Brilliant experience with Calle as our guide. Highly recommended! - We loved our day trip exploring Viking history. Calle was absolutely delightful as our personal guide; full of historical knowledge, funny quips, and willingness to accommodate any and all of our requests along the way. Our trip was made doubly as enjoyable because of his company, and we will highly recommend going on this tour with him as your personal tour guide.

Come find out about Runestones and history. Great !!! - Communication was great and pickup at the hotel was on-time. Gabriel is an excellent knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed the entire day. Lunch and the town of Sigtuna was a great time. His explanation of the runestones was clear and interesting.

Great trip to understand the history of Sweden. - Olaf was a really good guide. He shared lots of details about the runes, their history and how the land was different then what we see today. Then he was also able to share the history of Sigtuna to explain the evolution of the area from clans to becoming more centralized and Christian. Lastly, he shared the history of Uppsala and could explain about the people buried there even though after the "viking" period it was connected to Sweden becoming unified. I highly recommend this trip as good combination of walking and history. Plus you are getting outside of Stockholm seeing quaint Sigtuna and the larger Uppsala.

Amazing History - This tour was excellent. Our guide Gabriel was extremely knowledgable. We visited many sites that combined help tell the story of the Viking era. From farm paddocks to an old village, to churches, Rune Stones, mounds and more. Fascinating tour.

Disappointed with tour schedule - Emma (guide) was wonderful and our driver (Bianca) was terrific. Only concern this was a Viking tour and felt the new town of Upsala should have been omitted We wasted time at a church and then didn’t get to see the Viking Museum in old Upsala as it was closing in two minutes. Very disappointed! We chose this tour as we wanted Viking history not another European church!
