Sigtuna: Oldest Town in Sweden...980AD
Sigtuna, is the oldest town in Sweden. It was founded by King Erik the Victorious in 980 AD. This quaint town, with it's cobblestone streets, traditional wooden houses, and beautiful scenery takes you back to medieval times, especially with the ruins of 3 Churches - St. Olofs, St Lars, and St Per's. Runestones can be found throughout the town. Sigtuna is full of restaurants, book stores, a unique candy shop, the Sigtuna Museum, a small movie theater and much more. Cinnamon Rolls is their specialty.

Great experience.
My sister and I had a great time visiting Sigtuna and learning the history of the town. Our tour guide, Karin, was very knowledgeable and helpful with all of our information inquiries. She was able to answer all our questions and made this for us an extraordinary experience. We also would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to Bianca, our driver, for an outstanding service. We highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Happy to read your kind thoughts after the tour, and it makes me happy that the pairing of the two did give you such an excellent experience. I've sent both an email with your kind words, and thanks for taking your time to write this review here where more can se. / Owe, the company's manager.

Step back in Time
This is a beautiful little town founded 1000 years ago outside of Stockholm with cute shops on the old time narrow streets. Be sure to stop by Tant Brun's kaffestuga (or Aunt Brown's coffee shop) for some fika! This may be the oldest coffee shop in Sweden and reflects the character from Elsa Beskow's children's books published between 1918 and 1947. There's a lovely park and paths to stroll on too!
Response from the operator: Thanks a lot Lynn. On our Viking Tours there are plenty of Viking sights but also pearls from other epochs of Swedish history. We generally do not eat at Tant Brun. For any potential guest reading this review, please be aware of this. But if you want to go their on your on, then that is perfectly fine to do. No problem.

Idyllic Historic Town
Picturesque little town with medieval church ruins that is worth exploring and relaxing in a day-trip from Stockholm. It is easily accessible via commuter train and bus.
Response from the operator: Thanks a lot for your nice review. Sigtuna is indeed a very idyllic place. However it is hard to understand and learn about its history without a guide. Without a guide you will only have nice views and photos, but very little learning and no historic context. To get to Sigtuna with our tour takes 40 minutes and we only make profit on the guiding, not the transport itself. Reaching Sigtuna from Stockholm with public transportation takes at least 90 minutes from Stockholm centralstation. Add walking time or extra transport time from your hotel to the central station and you have a journey becoming almost 2 hours, more than the double of car transport. Your choice, but not a good deal in our opinion. We offer you efficient transport, guiding services and more for a good price. Best regards Angus Carlsson Sweden History Tours Owner Guide

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Sigtuna Tour from Stockholm - Oldest Town of Sweden: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Stockholm.
How much does Private Sigtuna Tour from Stockholm - Oldest Town of Sweden cost?
+
Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Stockholm usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Sigtuna Tour from Stockholm - Oldest Town of Sweden take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Stockholm is not rushed.
Is Private Sigtuna Tour from Stockholm - Oldest Town of Sweden worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Stockholm, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Sigtuna Tour from Stockholm - Oldest Town of Sweden?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Sigtuna Tour from Stockholm - Oldest Town of Sweden suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Sigtuna Tour from Stockholm - Oldest Town of Sweden?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Stockholm can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Stockholm and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Sigtuna Tour from Stockholm - Oldest Town of Sweden start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Stockholm within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Stockholm?
+
On Outty we rank every Stockholm experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Stockholm: Walking Tour of the Old Town, Best of Stockholm: Small Group Walking Tour (Max 10, 3 Hours), Vasa Museum Guided Tour, Including Ticket & Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Stockholm?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Stockholm?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
