A Wonderful and Knowledgeable visit to the Vikings Homeland - We travelled with a group of 17 other visitors to Stockholm on this Viking Exploration Tour in a small 20 seater minibus. Our guide Asa was brilliant; she brought the trip alive with her description of the sights and with her very special sense of humour; we laughed a great deal at her many and varied stories and her knowledge if the Vikings and their history was outstanding. We would highly recommend this tour, it is one of the best guided tours we have ever been on (and we are both in our 80’s so that it as good a compliment as you can get). Well done and thank you ASA!

History worth exploring - I was interested in finding out some Viking history while visiting Sweden. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and took our small group to several different areas to see and tell about the ancient runes. Well worth anyone's time!

Sigtuna tour - It wasn’t quite what I expected but really enjoyed the interesting history the guide provided. I enjoyed Sigtuna & would have liked to spend more time there. After touring the old churches & having a quick lunch we didn’t have time to see anymore of the town.

Thanks to Calle. - I would recommend to be in a group with Calle, who was easy going and knew how to share his knowledge of the Viking and Swedish history. Regretfully, the second guide was quite abrupt and at some point quite rude to me. I love exploring and learning the history of the country I visit, however I much prefer to be in a relaxed atmosphere where questions can be asked , where there is respectful dialog instead of being lectured .

A wonderful educational experience - A great experience! We learned a lot about Viking history. We would have liked a little more time to study the sites and the runes. But enjoyed the guide's breadth of knowledge about vikings and Swedish history. Well worth it!

Overpriced - The tour was interesting but we felt we could have accessed the attractions ourselves. Our guide was a little reserved and we had trouble hearing him from the back seat of the car.

In our case…not worth the cost - Overall we were disappointed in our tour. Our guide kept walking away from our group without indicating we should follow. Worse, she did not ask if we had questions, & seemed annoyed if we managed to ask one. Her answers were clipped & not detailed. The information about the runes was interesting & we enjoyed the ruins in Sigtuna but our guide walked right past an interesting rune on the side of a building. This would have been the perfect time to point out the difference between it & the standing runes. Much of the information seemed to be focused on presenting Vikings in a new light, rather than including more historical detail. I hate to leave a bad review, but this was our experience with Emma. I will also say that the two teens on our tour seemed very bored. Many reviewers with different guides seemed to have had better experiences, so take that into account before dismissing this tour as an option for you. Our guide did keep us on schedule & we did appreciate being dropped off at a convenient location.
