What you can expect

Join us for an exclusive Viking tour of Stockholm county, Uppsala, and Sigtuna, led by a passionate and knowledgeable guide. We keep our tour groups small, with a maximum of 17 guests, to ensure a personalised experience. You will be taken on a journey through time as we visit some of the most significant Viking sites in the region. If possible you will be picked up at your hotel or by a nearby location. For you who are staying outside the centre, pickup will be at Radisson Waterfront hotel close to the Central Railway station.

Our tour begins in Stockholm county, we will visit the Viking Age landmark of Jarla Banke Bridge, Arkils Tingstad including some runestones, Vallentuna church. We continue to a popular stop on the tour at Granby farm, where a fika will be served (swedish coffee with pastries).

We continue to the charming town of Sigtuna, which was founded in the late viking era. Here, we'll explore the ruins of Saint Olaf church, the norwegian Viking warrior, who later converted to christianity and finally became an Saint. You will some private time to enjoy a lunch, shopping , wander through the town's picturesque streets or just relax.

Next, stop is Gamla Uppsala (Old Uppsala) with all its famous burial mounds, which date back to the first centuries AD until the end of the Viking era. Gamla Uppsala was also the spiritual centre of the Vikings in all of Scandinavia and there they gather together for Midwinter blot festivals. From legends it is said that the pagan temple was burned down in 1087, a church was built on top of it, which became the main cathedral for the country and the seat of the country's first archbishop.

Last stop will be the university town of Uppsala, we will visit the main cathedral in Sweden today. As we are leaving you will enjoy a brief guided tour through the university areas.

The journey back to Stockholm takes about one hour, then you can openly ask about just anything or just relax and enjoy the tour back.

Throughout the tour, our guide will engage you in discussions about Viking history, culture, and society. You'll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions and share your own insights and perspectives.

As an experienced Viking tour guide with over 10 years of experience and many positive reviews, I am confident in the quality of my tours.
