Great Vikings Explorations! - Impressive tour, the guide demonstrates extensive technical knowledge, makes good exploration and scores. Simply excellent, a little hard to withstand in the winter, in Uppsala even there were temperatures near -18o, but anyway with a good protection, regardless of the season, it is worth it!

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!

Want to see rune stones, take this tour - Wonderful history and knowledgeable guide. There was a lot of driving and after seeing so many run stones, the shine lost its luster. We saw some wonderful buildings, churches and learned a lot of history. It was a good tour although the driving combined with difficulty understanding the guide took a bit out of the experience.

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.

Good but LONG - Tons of standing, lots of outside activity (meaning, dress appropriately with rain gear and comfortable shoes), and probably 2x as much detail as needed. Tour felt far too long. It's virtually ALL about Vikings with too little time in Upsala.
