ROYAL Uppsala and VIKING Sigtuna PRIVATE Tour

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.

Uppsala is a Must See!!

Our guide for this excursion, Eddine, was very knowledgeable about everything in Uppsala! Not only were we able to view the usual sites such as the Castle, Cathedral and University Library, we were able to access the Botanical Gardens and the Home Museum of Carl Linnaeus and his personal gardens. It was a very busy day with a lot of walking but well worth every minute!!!

A Comprehensive Tour Enjoyable in Japanese

Even for Japanese people who are not good at English, we were able to enjoy everything from pre-tour consultation to the guidance during the tour all in Japanese. Not only did we visit sightseeing spots, but we also learned about the culture and lifestyle of Sweden, which deepened our understanding. It was a wonderful tour that made us love Sweden and Uppsala even more.
