Explore Viking runestones, Sigtuna, Old Uppsala, and Swedish countryside on a nine-hour history tour from Stockholm.
“This tour is all about looking at 17 rocks, and 13 churches. You really don't get much "vicking" experience. The whole group was annoyed after about the 4th rock and we could barely understand the tour guide. I didn't even wear my headset because I could not understand him. Furthermore, the tour is 9 hours long and the van did not have charge ports to charge our phones. This is how we take pictures. I would not recommend this tour, for the price.”

“A great day trip out learning about the Vikings and Sweden (past and present). Urban is an absolute gentleman. So friendly and one of the most knowledgeable people I’ve ever met. He is a fountain of knowledge and passes on the knowledge in a way that is engaging and educational. Urban went out of his way to show us as much as he could fit in on one day trip. If I come back to Stockholm I’d actually do the trip again. And finally, he took an interest in what country you were from. As we were Irish, and therefore have a Viking history, he was able to tailor the…”
