This tour was amazing! Urban, the guide tour, tells you a lot of Swedish history from the “Viking” era (the settlement of the Germanic people in northern countries and their voyages), passing though Middle Ages and arriving to nowadays. He has a sense of humour, so really funny! I recommend this...

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.
