Superb exposure to Swedish folklore and culture - Well organized tour that gives a memorable exposure to the Viking and the Christian eras. The coffee break was a very nice touch. But the best element was our guide, Arvin or Erwin (I am spelling it wrong). He is very knowledgeable, considerate and spirited and made this tour extra enjoyable.

Had a fun day outside of Stockholm! - We had a great time travelling outside of Stockholm and learning about the history of the Viking ruins and distant history of Sweden. Our guide was very knowledgeable and showed us a lot of very interesting sites and areas of the countryside.

Viking history day tour - Our small group trip from Stockholm was led by our driver/ tour manager Urban, who provided a very informative and interesting commentary on the various Viking and other sites we visited during the day, particular highlights of which were the small picturesque historic town of Sigtuna and old Uppsala. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and feel we learnt a lot about the Viking Age in Scandinavia and would highly recommend this trip to others.

Don’t miss this tour! - Excellent tour! Ver knowledgeable and well run. Just the right amount of time in each town, area or Rune site. We really liked the organization of the tour. Van was comfy. We stopped for a coffee and rhubarb tart at an old and very nice and big dairy farm. Very nice company too! Loved Sigtuna and Uppsala.

Great day trip for those interested in runes and in history - This was a great day trip out of Stockholm, getting to view the Swedish countryside, Viking runes in various places, a number of churches, the town of Sigtuna and the city of Uppsala. Angus was a terrific guide--very knowledgeable and witty. He was also sensitive to the needs of those on our tour (13), including dietary needs when we lunched and ample restroom breaks.

A full day trip giving a... - A full day trip giving a great overview of Swedish Viking history with multiple stops over 9 hours. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. My only comment was they take up to 16 passengers and the van can really only accommodate 15 comfortably. We were the last pick up and were very cramped in the last row with another couple. Overall though a very nice day.
