Top Stockholm Day Trips - page 3

This is a fun excursion outside of Stockholm! Fortunately, the weather was absolutely perfect. I, unfortunately, was feeling very unwell the day of the tour, but the guide was so kind and tried her best to make me as comfortable as possible. There are toilets onsite, but basically port-a-potties. I’m not sure if the description on Viator mentions an opportunity for sauna, but I was not prepared for this as everyone else on the tour was (they all came with swimsuits and towels), so I missed out on the sauna part. Also the pickup spot listed on Viator is incorrect. The kayaking itself was lovely!

We had a fantastic time on our tour. The water was pretty icy, but they were able to make a path for us through the ice so we could still go out and have a fun and unique experience. Our guide, Sam, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable through it all. Fika and the sauna were lovely ways to close out the day. We loved our experience!!

Olof knew a great deal about the Viking period in Sweden and drove us to several sites that had original rune stones teaching us about runes and the stone monuments He took us to the first capital of Sweden Sigtuna where there has been a lot of excavations revealing Viking life.

My family enjoyed an amazing evening adventure with Daniel! Daniel made it so fun for our kids (age 8 and 10) We saw too many deer to counts, a moose and some beaver ruins. We had a nice hike and fun fireside meal. So amazing to be outdoors in this beautiful country! Highly recommend!

Christian and Jakob made the trip educational and wonderful. Christian drove and he made it all about what we wanted, if we needed to stop for a restroom or if we needed a drink, he wanted us to be happy. Jacob was so knowledgeable, as was Christian, and they brought Uppsala to life. There were too many wonderful things to mention—-Cathedral, Viking history/lore, the silver bible—but we strongly encourage everyone to take this viator excursion and we hope that you’re fortunate enough to get Christian and Jakob.

This is a completely immersive experience for anyone who wants to separate fact from movie fiction about the history, culture and lore of the Viking age. Our guide was an expert historian with deep knowledge of the Vikings and dozens of fascinating anecdotes and stories that helped us put this period of history into perspective. This tour exceeded expectations and we saw and learned many things at every stop that made this one of our best days traveling.
