“This tour provides a wonderful opportunity to get out of Stockholm, see the rural beauty of Sweden and get exposure to the history of Sweden during the heydey of the Vikings. It's a great counterpoint to the city/old-town tours that focus only on historical Stockhom.

For information, this is a private tour, only two of us participated, and full day so the prices are accordingly higher than the small or large group tours.

“La nostra guida è stata stupenda, gentile, è passato a prelevarci proprio alla soglia dell' hotel, e lì a sera ci ha riportati. Abbiamo visitato numerosissimi luoghi che sarebbero stati impossibili da visitare in autonomia. La guida è cordiale e gentile, non ha mai smesso di parlare dei luoghi e narrare storie di questi, non si ferma nemmeno alla guida, è instancabile! La guida ha un accento particolare, non è British, quindi per i non esperti della lingua può essere più faticoso seguire a pieno, ma nulla di impossibile, basta essere consapevoli di poter perdere qualche parola, che cmq si può dedurre dal contesto. La consigliamo!”
