Meet your guide at your accommodation. From there, board a tour vehicle and head north through the countryside, move back in time as you travel. Stop first at Broby Viking graveyard, to learn about a real Viking woman named Estrid who was buried here. Cross the 495-foot (150-meter) Jarlabanke's bridge, built by a powerful Viking leader centuries ago. Listen to a message written on a rune stone that flanks the bridge and hear stories from real Viking persons that lived here 1000 years ago. At the Viking parliament, imagine the powerful leaders making important decisions on that very spot and learn about Viking society and culture. Continue to Vallentuna church to see a famous collection of Jarlabanke’s runestones. At the end of your tour, return to Stockholm and be dropped off at your accommodation.

Traveler pickup is offered

We offer hotel pick up at all central hotels, ports and other accommodations within 3 km from Stockholm central station (you can use Google Maps to check your distance from Stockholm central station). If you're staying in the Old town (where it is not possible to get in by car) we may ask you to walk a few minutes to another location where we pick you up. If you are outside the pick up zone we will give you directions to a meeting place that is simple to get to with public transit. If you are unsure if you're in or out please email us after booking.

Pick up normally starts 30-60 minutes before depature. Please note that this is flexible depending on different factors like the number of reservations, time of year and traffic conditions.

We will be in touch two days in advance of a public tour with your final starting time, if you want to know beforehand or want that we arrange a fixed time for you please contact us by email.

If your tour departs from a cruise pier:

If your ship arrives at S165 and S167 STADSGÅRDEN: Please walk a few hundred meters away from your ship while following the BLUE/GREEN lines. Go past the fences and guards, and your guide will wait there, with a sign saying "Viking Tours" on an A4-paper. NOTE: If you enter any other harbor number in STADSGÅRDEN than S165 or S167 please go outside the fences and guards and the guide will meet you there on the time of the tour. We recommend that you are available on cell phones to avoid issues during pick-up.

If your ship arrives at F638 FRIHAMNEN: Upon debarking the ship, please go through the terminal building. Once you go past the sliding doors (everyone else that departs the ship will walk out this way), the guide will meet you just outside the sliding doors. The guide will be holding an A4-paper saying "Viking Tours". NOTE: If you enter any other harbor number in FRIHAMNEN than F638 please go outside the fences and guards and the guide will meet you there on the time of the tour.

If your ship arrives at V523 VÄRTAHAMNEN: Walk from your ship towards the tourist buses, which is less than 10 meters from the ship hull. The guide will wait for you at the tourist bus area, near the buses, with an A4-paper, which says "Viking Tours." The guide will then direct you to the tour vehicle. NOTE: If you enter any other harbor number in VÄRTAHAMNEN than V523 please go outside the fences and guards and the guide will meet you there on the time of the tour.

If your ship arrives at NYNÄSHAMN: NO PICK UP INCLUDED HERE. That is due to it being 50 km away from Stockholm central station. We recommend you to contact us and decide on a meeting place in Central Stockholm. We will give directions on how to go there either by train or by taking one of the cruise buses going from the harbor into Stockholm.
If unsure what pier you're coming to contact after booking with your ships name.

This was so enjoyable and worth every krone! Erik, our guide, was passionate and extremely knowledgeable. Because no one else signed up, we had a private tour so it was extra special and enabled us to visit a church that wasn’t on the official itinerary. Erik totally changed my understanding of Viking history and as a history teacher, I appreciated him bringing world history into the history of the runes and what happened with the Vikings. He was very patient and I recommend him wholeheartedly. It was nice to get out of the city and see the more rural areas of Stockholm.

Eric was very knowledgable and accomindating! Could answer everything we asked, even with a small group of only 2 of us in the snow he was very thorough.

Erick was very informative. Unfortunately we had really bad weather which took away from the tour. Would definitely do it again but in better weather!
