Pickup details

All central hotels, ports and other accommodations within 3km from Stockholm central station. I will contact two days before the tour with your final pick up time. No pick up at Nynäshamn harbour but instead travel directions to meeting place in Stockholm. If your tour departs from the 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 harbour 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. 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 harbour 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 harbour 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 due to it being 50km away from Stockholm central station. We recomend you to contact and with us decide a meeting place in Central Stockholm. We will give directions how to go there either by train or that take one of the cruise busses going from the harbour into Stockholm. If you are unsure of which pier your ship is arriving at, please check with the cruise line.

Terrific tour of Viking...

Andrea_H, Dec 2022
Terrific tour of Viking history with a friendly and very knowledgeable tour guide. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thanks for leaving this rewiev of our tour, we do have one Viking stop sometimes included depending on what places are open and the rest are the palaces in question. Happy that you liked the guide. Thanks for taking your time leaving this rewiev.

Quirky, informative, and so worth it

Amy_B, Dec 2018
We were picked up at our hotel on time in a small van and had a total of 7 passengers. We explored a park with Viking runes, a castle with our personalized tour guide, and explored sitting! It was a lovely experience and our tour guide really made it personal including choosing places to stop and eat together, time to sit, walk, and explore. She was very knowledgeable with lots of fun facts and provided a great time for everyone!
