Very nice day exploring Sweden Viking history - Calle was a great guide and historian. Seeing the scenic countryside of Sweden was a highlight of our trip to Stockholm. The Viking history and sights were exciting for us Viking lovers. The introduction to Uppsala has us wanting more and wished we could have spent more time there than we did. Going this time of year not much was open in Sigtuna so wish more time would have been spent in Uppsala. Other than time being our issue, Calle really made the tour fun, informative and engaging.

Once in a lifetime experience! - The tour was awesome! Angus was able to accommodate and pick me up from my hotel in Solna. Although he was not the tour guide, he provided us with great info. The tour took us to every place listed. The female tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. This is a definite for those who have some knowledge of the Vikings. Highly recommend going to the Viking museum first, watching the first few episodes of the Vikings to better prepare for this once in a lifetime tour!

Packed day of Viking Sites outside of Stockholm - This was a very full day but very enjoyable. Guide Urban knows his subject matter and with his good humour could even manage a van full of Canadian, American, German and Czech hockey fans. Especially enjoyed the rune stones, burial mounds and the stop for fika (coffee and baked goods). A great day out of Stockholm.
