Thoroughly recommend this 5 hour tour. - We had a very enjoyable half day Viking history tour which incorporated visiting a former Viking farm, a causeway, a meeting place and Sigtura. Along the way we were introduced to runes that had helped to identify these places and learnt about the people that lived there. There were only four of us on the tour, so whilst it was a public tour, it felt very personal and our guide Olof, was very accommodating. For example, we chose not to stop for lunch so that we maximised our time in Sigtura. I would thoroughly recommend this tour. I had contemplated the 8 hour tour and part of me wished that I had chosen the longer tour, but I think this was actually a better choice as I ended wanting more. Whilst we were driving around, Olof also chatted a lot about Sweden in general and it was lovely to have those conversations with him. He also recommended we take the boat trip from Stockholm to Drottningholm Palace which we did the next day and enjoyed enormously.

Back in Time - There is a certain amount of walking but you are warned about footwear. The group was small, only four, which made it intimate and also expedited movement from one activity to the next. Our guide was most entertaining, witty and informative.

Great Viking sites tour - We wanted to see Viking sites and put a visual to what we knew about Viking history. Gabriel, the guide was very entertaining and did a good job getting the group everywhere and explaining what we were seeing. We very much enjoyed the rune stone sites, Sigtuna, and Uppsala. It was a great day and highly recommended.
