We took a day trip from Stockholm, and truly enjoyed seeing a different part of the country. The train ride was lovely, and navigating around the town was easy. The University, Cathedral, and Museum were all very interesting. Walking around the burial mounds in learning more about the history of the area was wonderful

Excellent tour. Our guide (Jonathan Olsson) was an endless fount of knowledge of the Vendel and Viking periods. Highly recommended.

Although our guide was knowledgeable - we didn't really glean any information beyond that which was available within the adjacent museum. Also we didn't walk around the mounds and the church wasn't open. Both of these elements we did ourselves. So it was less of a 'guided tour' and more of a stationary chat about the history of the site.
