Disappointing

4.00The trip was very informative about Rune Stones and the history of the Vikings. However, as the description of the tour mentioned visiting a traditional farm and having a ‘Fika’ break, we were quite disappointed when this did not happen as it was one of the main reasons we booked the trip. No explanation about the omission was given.
Informative and engaging tour

5.00Very informative. We visited several sites which included rune stones, ruins and churches. Uppsala and Sigtuna were quiet beautiful towns and our guide Calle together with our driver Bianca were very friendly, approachable and informed! Calle was especially entertaining and engaging. If you're a history buff or a viking lore nerd, they will take you through the history of the viking age from start to end. Do not be shy and ask questions! They will surely have an answer for you.
This is a terrific tour....

5.00Our guide did an amazing job of filling us in on the history of not only Sweden, but each place we visited- step by step. He didn’t overwhelm us, but just explained as we went, about each site we would see and why each one was built or likely in the place it was set (as in stones and burial mounds). It was a full day of exploration, but we were not exhausted at the end- just so thankful that we had gone! So much rich history to be seen.
Great way to break out of the city, learn and have fun.

5.00A packed and well- structured itinerary with a fun and informative guide. The group is restricted to be small, which is ideal. We had a great day. Thanks Urban!
Amazing Viking Tour

5.00This was a great experience! For anyone who is interested in Viking history, Highly recommend this tour. Urban was a great host, and an amazing tour guide, full of lots of great information that we would not otherwise have known. We saw quite a few runestones, and he explained a lot of the history of the Vikings in Sweden and other parts of Scandinavia. We saw Uppsala, had a Fika, and saw the beautiful countryside of Sweden. Urban was very considerate of all the passengers' needs, and he even went out of his way to find a bathroom for one of the people on the tour! It was amazing time!!!
Excellent Tour

5.00This was an outstanding tour. Urban was extremely knowledgeable and was happy to share that knowledge. We learned all about the Vikings and what happened to them when Sweden became Catholic, and then how it became Lutheran in the 1500's with the Reformation. Ancient churches, rune stones, Viking burial mounds, and the beautiful Swedish forests and countryside. You get a real sense of the ancient history of the place as well as the countryside with its acres and acres of rolling wheat fields and red barns/houses. Highly recommended.
Potential Not Achieved

2.00Regardless of the expense, this excursion delivered low value. The guide's description delivery was exceedingly verbose about much that was uninspiring to the point that some of the travellers completely ignored him. He droned on about picayune subjects and gave little of entertaining value. What I would deem of greater interest was sloughed off with little explanation and time allotted, e.g. burial mounds etc. Whereas, an inordinate amount of time was given explaining the intricate details of each and every rune that we saw. Sigtuna and Uppsala should have been allotted far more time and less on the runes. The speaker system within the small van was very poor. And, the fika offerings were miserly and a waste of time. I have been on dozens of Viator excursions around the world and this is the first negative one that I have written.
