      Excellent Tour
      My hubs and I took this tour and it was definitely worth it. Carl was an informative and engaging tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, but made it fun at the same time. We saw numerous runes, learned the history of the changeover of the “old gods” to the new one, got to walk around Sigtuna and had Fika in Uppsala. It was a long day, but worth it to see areas outside of Stockholm. Highly recommend.

      Highly recommend for corporate groups
      We are a Swedish event organizer that recently hosted a Japanese corporate group for a conference trip in Stockholm. Jonathan and his team at Sweden History Tours arranged a guided city tour from our conference venue in the city to a restaurant in Gamla Stan, which was originally planned for three smaller groups. At the last minute, we encountered a sudden downpour of rain. Thanks to Sweden History Tours' problem-solving skills, flexibility, and extensive network, they managed to secure a bus on short notice and completely reorganize the tour. It turned out to be a great success and truly saved the evening. A big thank you to Sweden History Tours, and we highly recommend them for corporate groups. Their planning is professional, meticulous, and impressively well-executed.

      Amazing Experience, highly recommended.
      Amazing, tour guides were wonderful, the tour itself was amazing, highly recommended. The tour guides were clearly passionate about the history of the vikings and the area and the places we visited really gave us an inkling of what it would have been like to be there back in time.

      A great day out of Stockholm
      We visited several interesting sites as described on the website. Our experience was made excellent by our guide, Calle. He was friendly and engaging and well informed. And tells a story well. We had a very good day and recommend the tour.

      Fantastic day out
      We had an amazing day out, tour guide was fantastic and built the trip around our preferences. Gave us the right amount of time at each place and indulged our fascination with the snow! Would highly recommend as a day trip.

      9hour Viking Tour
      We had such an amazing day with Calle as our guide and a guest appearance by Jonathan. Calle was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to include our two kids (aged 8 and 10). The snow fights were just a bonus ;) would highly recommend!

      Runestone tour
      The 3-4 hour tour took us to four sites, where Carl gave us a great explanation to the significance and historic meaning behind runestones and Norse way of life. Christian, who helped get us around, was able to talk about downtown Stockholm, embassy row, the university system. Both were excellent at engagement with the tour, on both an individual and group level. Will return for the longer tour!

      Perfect way to spend a day outdoors in the Swedish countryside while learning stuff
      This was a great day. Got to tramp through meadows looking at Viking rune stones and visit a 'thing' (a stone circle where Vikings held meetings to discuss hot-button Viking issues). Visited Sigtuna, where I had a good lunch, and then Uppsala for a tour of the cathedral. Somewhere along the way we had kippa, sort of Swedish teatime. Finally a trip to the burial mounds at Gamla. The guides Ulaf and a woman who looks like Meryl Streep whose name I can't remember right now (which is a shame because she was great), were both extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Bring water and good walking shoes. And, if you visit in October like I did, bring a warm jacket. Surprisingly, unlike my home in California, Sweden is actually quite chilly in October. If you have any interest in history or Viking culture, this is a perfect way to spend a day outdoors in the Swedish countryside while learning a lot.

      Uppsala and Sitguna Day
      What we saw was great and the guide was informative and friendly. The only issue was we finished an hour earlier than expected. I also expected to see more of Uppsala so this was disappointing.

      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.

      Following the Vikings
      Erik's indepth knowledge of the Viking runestones and overall history was what we were hoping for. We learned alot and saw the lovely country side and villages. It was a fun day.

      Sigtuna: Oldest Town in Sweden...980AD
      Sigtuna, is the oldest town in Sweden. It was founded by King Erik the Victorious in 980 AD. This quaint town, with it's cobblestone streets, traditional wooden houses, and beautiful scenery takes you back to medieval times, especially with the ruins of 3 Churches - St. Olofs, St Lars, and St Per's. Runestones can be found throughout the town. Sigtuna is full of restaurants, book stores, a unique candy shop, the Sigtuna Museum, a small movie theater and much more. Cinnamon Rolls is their specialty.
