    Great tour! Very knowledgeable guide who answered all our questions! A lot of information that was both interesting but also fun facts! Good hiking for those who want to hear about the dark but also the bright parts of Uppsala's long history!

    Nice your. Of course we think Sweden is soft and fluffy but it's really all a sham! The zeal with which they tried to hurt mail or kill 'defective' citizens put the Nazis to shame. The guide was a typical older Swedish lady! You will know what I mean.
