Half-day private Viking tour from Stockholm with Broby Bro, runestones, Thing-sites, and Sigtuna’s church ruins, with hotel pickup.
“I believe this was a great tour with a not so great mix of circumstances. Our guide was nice, shared a lot of information and gave us a great day exploring some of Sweden’s Viking past. Unfortunately both of us have some slight hearing difficulties and that, coupled with his strong accent made it very challenging to understand much of what he shared. I did ask him to repeat a few times and he did immediately but I really didn’t want to do that all day long. We still had a fascinating day and learned a lot, but we did not get the full story as many details were simply…”
A 3-hour private Viking history ride from Stockholm to rune-stone sites, Jarlabanke’s bridge, a Viking law meeting place, and Vallentuna church.
“Our private guide, Quentin, met us at the cruise port and took us right to the Runic Kingdom. It was a beautiful drive through downtown Stockholm and into the countryside. It was really nice to get out and walk in the places where the Vikings had lived. Quentin is an archeologist with a vast knowledge of the Viking culture, lifestyle and leaders. We thoroughly enjoyed our time on this tour and HIGHLY recommend it. Quentin was an excellent guide and a very nice young man. He's also a very good driver and we felt completely safe the entire tour. Thanks for a fantastic time!”
