Great Vikings Explorations! - Impressive tour, the guide demonstrates extensive technical knowledge, makes good exploration and scores. Simply excellent, a little hard to withstand in the winter, in Uppsala even there were temperatures near -18o, but anyway with a good protection, regardless of the season, it is worth it!

Well done - Excellent tour. Our guide Urban was fantastic. I don’t think there is anything he doesn’t know. Was a very cold day so could maybe have cut the storytelling outside a little short. Wish I had visited the Viking museum either before or after but it is such a full day there isn’t time

Good tour with a lot of history - Guide was right on time to pick us up at the hotel. He was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. It would have been more pleasant if he had turned on some heat in the van. It was 50-55 degrees throughout the cloudy day with some cold wind so a warm van would have made it more comfortable. Overall a good experience otherwise.

Want to see rune stones, take this tour - Wonderful history and knowledgeable guide. There was a lot of driving and after seeing so many run stones, the shine lost its luster. We saw some wonderful buildings, churches and learned a lot of history. It was a good tour although the driving combined with difficulty understanding the guide took a bit out of the experience.

Good but LONG - Tons of standing, lots of outside activity (meaning, dress appropriately with rain gear and comfortable shoes), and probably 2x as much detail as needed. Tour felt far too long. It's virtually ALL about Vikings with too little time in Upsala.
