Great tour of Sweden’s beautiful countryside and incredible history lesson ! - This was an amazing and educational tour to Sigtuna and Uppsala.Our guide Uhlof (sp?) picked us up on time and gave us a lot of very informative information on the way out of Stockholm and at the sites we visited. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer our questions about the history of the areas we visited.He recommended a place to have lunch in Sigtuna which was delicious . As beautiful and historic as Stockholm is ,I don’t think I would have as good of a sense of Sweden without having taken this excursion. The countryside is gorgeous and the history fascinating. Uhlof spoke excellent English , had a good sense of humor and dropped us off at our hotel at the time he estimated at the start of our tour. I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in Swedish history and getting a look at the Swedish countryside.

A Viking History Homerun - This is a completely immersive experience for anyone who wants to separate fact from movie fiction about the history, culture and lore of the Viking age. Our guide was an expert historian with deep knowledge of the Vikings and dozens of fascinating anecdotes and stories that helped us put this period of history into perspective. This tour exceeded expectations and we saw and learned many things at every stop that made this one of our best days traveling.

Fantastic Viking History tour! - Charlotte was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the Viking Runes and also Uppsala. She worked with us to accommodate my husband using a cane, so he didn't have to walk as far.

Viking-palooza - My friend and I had a great time on our full-day tour with Olof midway through our trip to Stockholm. We enjoyed the chance to see some lovely Swedish countryside and learn more about the Vikings via their runestones. It was fun to visit Sigtuna (where we had a great lunch at a cafe called Valvet, recommended by Olof) and Uppsala, and we particularly liked seeing Uppsala Cathedral and the Viking burial mounds in Gamla Uppsala. Olof was friendly and informative and we felt very comfortable with him. Thanks Olof!

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.
