5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. It was great seeing some Swedish countryside as well as the stops included in the itinerary. As it was a private tour, we were also able to add in a visit to Drottingham Palace. Our driver and guide for the day was the amazing Calle. He was very knowledgeable, entertaining and friendly (he also did our boat tour the day before). Would definitely recommend Swedish History Tours especially if Calle is the guide.
Great tour of Sweden’s beautiful countryside and incredible history lesson !

5.00This was an amazing and educational tour to Sigtuna and Uppsala.Our guide Uhlof (sp?) picked us up on time and gave us a lot of very informative information on the way out of Stockholm and at the sites we visited. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer our questions about the history of the areas we visited.He recommended a place to have lunch in Sigtuna which was delicious . As beautiful and historic as Stockholm is ,I don’t think I would have as good of a sense of Sweden without having taken this excursion. The countryside is gorgeous and the history fascinating. Uhlof spoke excellent English , had a good sense of humor and dropped us off at our hotel at the time he estimated at the start of our tour. I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in Swedish history and getting a look at the Swedish countryside.
Top day!

5.00This is a completely immersive experience for anyone who wants to separate fact from movie fiction about the history, culture and lore of the Viking age. Our guide was an expert historian with deep knowledge of the Vikings and dozens of fascinating anecdotes and stories that helped us put this period of history into perspective. This tour exceeded expectations and we saw and learned many things at every stop that made this one of our best days traveling.
Fantastic Viking History tour!

5.00Charlotte was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the Viking Runes and also Uppsala. She worked with us to accommodate my husband using a cane, so he didn't have to walk as far.
Highly recommend!

5.00My friend and I had a great time on our full-day tour with Olof midway through our trip to Stockholm. We enjoyed the chance to see some lovely Swedish countryside and learn more about the Vikings via their runestones. It was fun to visit Sigtuna (where we had a great lunch at a cafe called Valvet, recommended by Olof) and Uppsala, and we particularly liked seeing Uppsala Cathedral and the Viking burial mounds in Gamla Uppsala. Olof was friendly and informative and we felt very comfortable with him. Thanks Olof!
