You leave Stockholm behind and step into Viking history. This ten hour private guided tour takes you through sacred landscapes and ancient towns. At Jarlabanke Bridge you trace runestones carved with power and pride. Arkils Tingstad whispers of Viking law as wind moves through the grass. Inside Vallentuna Church your fika break brings warmth with coffee and pastries. In Sigtuna narrow streets reveal rune covered stones and echoes of markets. Old Uppsala holds the memory of pagan rituals and silent mounds. Uppsala Cathedral then rises with vaulted arches where faith changed a nation. Each place deepens your journey into a past of myth and legend.

Even if you are only here for a short while as a visitor or tourist - let us show you the city of Stockholm and introduce you to our Swedish culture and traditions whilst showing you some unique parts of Stockholm and its surroundings, historic places, some hidden hide-aways as well as all the "must sees". We would like to offer you a very Swedish experience! Stockholm is Sweden’s largest city and one of Europe’s most charming capitals.

This is a unique opportunity to combine two important ancient cities of Sweden, to hear the interesting story of your private guide on a comfortable car. Kick off with a visit to part medieval, part Gothic Uppsala Domkyrka, or Uppsala Cathedral. Inaugurated in 1435, Gothic re-styled in the 19th century, it is a must see/do in Uppsala. Gamla (Old) Uppsala, just north of the city, boasts impressive 6th century burial mounds and in its museum you can learn about the legend of the Svea kings and gory human sacrifices (kids love this bit). Go here for Gamla Uppsala Museum, Odinsborg restaurant and Disagården open-air museum. Sigtuna hugs the northern shores of Lake Mälaren and its cobblestone streets are arteries of the almost 1,000 year-old Stora gatan, or main street, with clusters of shops selling Swedish fashion, design and handicrafts.

Ride in a comfortable luxury minibus to the oldest City of Stockholm , Sigtuna, where we also will make a visit to some Viking rune stones and see a lot of the Swedish country side, with farms, animals, forests and lakes. Not far away is famous Uppsala town with it's many historical buildings and the huge and unique Uppsala Cathedral. Your private guide will make sure you get the information you need and are willing to take your questions. We recommend a couple of breaks to sit down for a bit, the first is a great Swedish restaurant where we can enjoy a traditional Swedish lunch, and the second stop could be to an old genuine coffee house dating back from the 17th century, for snacks and refreshments. You have the this premium car by yourself with your guide, so the tour is flexible for any requests during the day.
