Not worth the effort to get there
The cab ride is about 40-45 minutes. Definitely not worth the ride. The problem is that not a lot is known about the Vikings. We saw some well-preserved and maintained runestones. The tour is listed as 90 minutes, while the guide expects you to be there for two hours. But, he ran out of things to say after about 30 minutes. The scenery is nice. As he drove us around, he pointed out some small bumps on the hills and said there might be a Viking buried there. The guide was nice and knowledgeable, but there isn't enough to learn and/or see to make it worth the cost and effort.
Response from the operator: Hi, thanks for your feedback and thanks for taking your time to leave this review. Sadly there ain't a lot of remains left and no standing houses or preserved viking buildings to se; what we have are rune stones and grave fields like the bumps on the hills. Im also so sorry that you did get this impression out of the tour you booked as that isn't ok, and I need to speak with the guide in question cause it isn't an acceptable feeling from a guide I hire in locally due to me being sick to not being able to speak about the time period I hire him in to do. I usually advice to take a bus due to cab rides being expensive and we've a good bus system here but you're right that it is a bit out from stockholm city, due to not being any clear remaines to se inside Stockholm proper. Usually we do two or max three stops on this particular tour depending on time. Thanks for telling me about the tour time glitch, I'll check and make sure the tour time is properly decribed. I'm however happy you liked the scenery, places and the stones. /Owe

Custom, Private Tour - Perfect!
Absolutely amazing custom/private with Johnathon (history expert) and Nadia (pHD in anthropology) we learned so much about a wide range to historical and cultural topics. We saw places we’d never have found on our own, or understood - their knowledge and professionalism was perfect!
Response from the operator: Thanks a lot for this beautiful review, it was a amazing day we spent with you guys and hope to se you again sometime :-)

Why this scores 43
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Viking tour by a lake + Swedish nature forest walk, 90min: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Stockholm.
How much does Private Viking tour by a lake + Swedish nature forest walk, 90min cost?
+
Prices start at $615 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 Viking tour by a lake + Swedish nature forest walk, 90min take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Viking tour by a lake + Swedish nature forest walk, 90min worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 2 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 Viking tour by a lake + Swedish nature forest walk, 90min?
+
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 Viking tour by a lake + Swedish nature forest walk, 90min suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Viking tour by a lake + Swedish nature forest walk, 90min?
+
Around 1 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Viking tour by a lake + Swedish nature forest walk, 90min 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.
