For Viking history lovers - It was a great very informative tour. May not be suitable for younger children as there is a lot of time spent listening to the history. Guides are very knowledgeable and friendly.

Brilliant! - The guide Asa was excellent. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We became a little tired on arrival in Uppsala, and maybe the Fika before the cathedral might have been better, but otherwise perfect.

Awesome trip - The experience was amazing. We travelled with two other van groups and it was great meeting everyone. Olef was a great guide and funny. Bianca was very entertaining during our van drives and she is a very good person. The trip was personalized and they got to know us which is great. Overall. Great trip. Must do.

A Look Beyond Stockholm - This is a good trip to take to see towns and small cities within the surrounding area of Stockholm and get a full explanation of the historical development of the towns and their roles in Swedish history. Our tour guide, Gabriel, was exceptionally knowledgeable and did an outstanding job educating the group about the Viking historical significance and their contribution to the establishment of the country and Scandinavia. This tour will offer a foundation of Viking history to prepare you if you want to visit museums in Skansen and Vasa to observe viking artifacts. Be prepared for a long day and time driving from place to place.

Viking Empire - Near Lake Valluntuna where the guide explained the scope of the Viking’s influence and empire as well as the connection to the Knights Templar and Masons. Going forward, we would recommend the use of microphones as it was often difficult to hear the guide at the back of the van.
