If your tour departs from a cruise pier:

Our tour guide Emma was very knowledgeable and funny. I seldom book organized tours, but locating and getting to Runriket, plus learning about those rural sites, would be very time-consuming in a short tour. Highly recommended if you have a genuine interest in the pre- and early Christian history of Sweden.

We really enjoyed the experience of learning about and visiting Viking sites in Sweden. The tour guides were extremely knowledgable and provided interesting commentary about the sites we visited. It was great to be part of a small group tour and have the individualized attention. We also loved the variety of sites we visited.

A really good day out learning a lot about Viking history and the early settlers in the region. Our guide was super awesome and friendly. Took us through a lot of details. We had an extra driver for ourselves who was really the cherry on top. She was amazing and kept taking us to other points of interest which were not part of the normal tour. It was an amazing experience all in all.
