He has a sense of humour, so really funny! I recommend this tour both to people who want to have general idea of Swedish history through the years and also to people who want to increase their knowledge (runestones are fantastic!) Tack så mycket!Urban is a very friendly and knowledgable guide. The tour matched the description on trip advisor. We had a great day out (we were also fortunate with the weather). The stops and sights are well broken up so you never spend too much time in the car.
