5.00Wonderful look at the oldest churches near Stockholm dating back to the 12th century. So nice to see a bit of rural life outside the city and the small towns around these parishes. Olaf was knowledgeable and very communicative. We were so grateful that we had a full and individualized experience as there were only two of us. We toured on Sunday and were able to see most of a Swedish Lutheran church service and a private baptism.
