Great trip to understand the history of Sweden. - Olaf was a really good guide. He shared lots of details about the runes, their history and how the land was different then what we see today. Then he was also able to share the history of Sigtuna to explain the evolution of the area from clans to becoming more centralized and Christian. Lastly, he shared the history of Uppsala and could explain about the people buried there even though after the "viking" period it was connected to Sweden becoming unified. I highly recommend this trip as good combination of walking and history. Plus you are getting outside of Stockholm seeing quaint Sigtuna and the larger Uppsala.

Amazing History - This tour was excellent. Our guide Gabriel was extremely knowledgable. We visited many sites that combined help tell the story of the Viking era. From farm paddocks to an old village, to churches, Rune Stones, mounds and more. Fascinating tour.

Very enjoyable and worthwhile tour! - The guide, Gabriel, was fantastic. He was exceptionally knowledgeable and very engaging. His commentary on what we were seeing and his discussion of the Vikings and of Swedish history were clear, informative, and entertaining. He was also very concerned to ensure we were comfortable during the tour and were seeing all we wanted to see and that he was answering all our questions about Sweden and life in Sweden.

Disappointed with tour schedule - Emma (guide) was wonderful and our driver (Bianca) was terrific. Only concern this was a Viking tour and felt the new town of Upsala should have been omitted We wasted time at a church and then didn’t get to see the Viking Museum in old Upsala as it was closing in two minutes. Very disappointed! We chose this tour as we wanted Viking history not another European church!
