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.

Amazing Viking past! - Calle was an outstanding guide! Truly knowledgeable about his craft and did an outstanding job of bringing the Viking culture to life. We saw many areas around Stockholm that had many old runes. Truly amazing. Calle was exceptional and we were so lucky to have him for our private guide. Thank you for the experience of a lifetime.

Spectacular - Excellent excellent trip .Safe and efficient driving by Helen … great presentation on Runic scripture by Jonathan … spectacular commentary of Sigtuna the oldest city in Sweden by Ilena and finally insightful history presented by Hans about Uppsala.
Our original guide was sick so these 4 pitched in and made this trip memorable … we were richer in experience after this trip ..
