Well done - Excellent tour. Our guide Urban was fantastic. I don’t think there is anything he doesn’t know. Was a very cold day so could maybe have cut the storytelling outside a little short. Wish I had visited the Viking museum either before or after but it is such a full day there isn’t time

Great guide - Urban was a great guide. We had a cold and windy day, but he did his best to keep us warm without missing any of the sites. He gave us insightful history that helped us connect to the people that built the rune stones. I appreciated the diligent manner in which he conducted the tour. We did have a fika break and lunch is Sigtuna. The Uppsala old church and newer Cathedral were both amazing.

Very informative tour of ancient Viking ruins - Super interesting tour of important Viking and early Christian sites. We had a beautiful sunny day which made this tour especially nice. So many rune stones all over the place! We loved walking through a cow pasture to see a really big one and where an ancient long house was located. It was a great place to stop for “Fika”. Urban our guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job getting us everywhere.

Urban Adventure - My wife, 2.5 year old daughter and I (had to pay for 3 adults) were guided on a private Viking history tour through the Swedish countryside with Urban. We were thoroughly impressed with Urban's knowledge, expertise and energy. Highly recommend!

The perfect tour with the perfect guide - We loved this trip. Our guide Urban was amazing. He was extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, great sense of humor, fun story teller and just all around the perfect guide for us. We loved seeing the runes and churches and we enjoyed the coffee stops and lunch break. The day was over before we knew it.

Good mix of history country and churches - The guide was very knowledgeable. Although maybe don't test the lack of knowledge of those touring. So more condensed short bursts of info. Also would have been good to have a water tank available. Hot day.

Good Trip | Long Day - Nice tour, and very interesting to see rune stones and burial mounds. Guide/driver Arvin was extremely knowledgeable. Cathedral in Uppsala also very interesting. Quite a long day. Picked up at 9:00 AM, delivered back to hotel 19:30. Would like to have spent more time at mounds, less in minor churches.
