Discover Visby, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Northern Europe’s best preserved medieval towns. Walk alongside the impressive city wall, wander through charming cobblestone streets lined with cafés and historic merchant houses, and explore the fascinating church ruins that reflect Visby’s rich Hanseatic past. Visit Visby Cathedral and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the DBW's Botanical Garden. A perfect blend of history, culture, and Scandinavian charm.

This tour is primarily a walking tour. From the port, transportation will take you to the Visby City Wall, where the walking tour begins. Please note that vehicles are not permitted within Visby Town, so all sightseeing inside the medieval center is done on foot. At the end of the walking tour, transportation will take you back to the cruise port.

Basic walking tour with average guide - better off doing a self-guided tour.

It was a fairly basic walking tour, that could've been done on your own. The guide didn't really add much to enhance the tour with her commentary. Also, the guide did not time the visit to St Marys Church very well and we missed out on seeing inside the Church because there was a service on at 2.30pm. The guide should have been aware of this and could have scheduled the visit early to ensure we saw the interior.
Well worth the effort

Generally a downhill walk with some steps. Our guide (Chris) was knowledgeable, well spoken & had the needs of his group in mind. They tour was interesting, insightful & run at an accommodating pace. Our Tour clashed with their annual political rallies, but Chris led us around the bulk of that.
Fantastic tour

Ann, our guide was fabulous!! This is a 4 hour walking tour of the city. It is beautiful and we learned so much of the history. She allowed our small group to decide the most important things we wanted to see and allowed us plenty of time for pictures.

The tour was very informative and guide was very knowledgeable. The average rating is due to the walking experience. The description should indicate the walk at times can be strenuous due to walking up hills and the use of stairs.

Overall a good experience. More talking than walking! Very knowledgeable guide but not enough places to show. Could have been done in a shorter time.

Visby, Sweden is a UNESCO heritage site for a reason. The medieval wall with 27 turrets still intact was overwhelmingly beautiful, not to mention the botanical gardens. The town itself was charming with a quaint mix of shops, restaurants, and 12th century ruins. Amazing!! Our guide was a nice lady but spoke very little English. The group ended up filling in her sentences. Not what one should expect from a tour guide, thus the 4 star rating. This excursion is a must!!!!
