    Educational and entertaining tour of Sweden outside of Stockholm

    We've traveled to many places around the world and this by far is one of the most educational, entertaining and just plain enjoyable tours we've taken. Our guide was knowledgeable on all sorts of topics from Swedish history, to Scandinavian history, to culture (historic and current), politics, archeological issues, geographical issues, there didn't seem to be any era he didn't know about from ancient times to current times and everything in between. He was patient with everyone's questions. And seemed to really enjoy sharing his knowledge. I think there was one obscure question he didn't know the answer to. It was wonderful to get "out of the city" of Stockholm (marvelous as it is) to see some of the rest of Sweden and how people live. The church ruins were beautiful, the town of Sigtuna was enchanting, and Uppsala had so much to offer. I highly recommend this tour!!!

    We had a wonderful time....

    We had a wonderful time. Olof did a great job and was very informative. We were in a group of seven people in a van which was perfect. We would not have been able to see these sights by foot or easily with public transportation and the large bus tours would not have been able to cover as many places in a day.

    Tour Guide needs to be in your van to enjoy the experience

    We were on a trip with 2 vans and unfortunately, the tour guide was on the other van so it was silent most of the time in our van. I was expecting the tour guide to be in our van but It was disappointing that we only had the driver

    Excellent historical Viking overview

    Great historical overview of the Vikings. Gabriel was extremely knowledgeable. Nice to get out of Stockholm and see the countryside.

    Viking History, Runes & Countryside 9h Tour to Sigtuna & Uppsala: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Stockholm.

    How much does Viking History, Runes & Countryside 9h Tour to Sigtuna & Uppsala cost?

    +

    Prices start at $334 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 Viking History, Runes & Countryside 9h Tour to Sigtuna & Uppsala take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Viking History, Runes & Countryside 9h Tour to Sigtuna & Uppsala worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 346 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 Viking History, Runes & Countryside 9h Tour to Sigtuna & Uppsala?

    +

    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 Viking History, Runes & Countryside 9h Tour to Sigtuna & Uppsala suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Viking History, Runes & Countryside 9h Tour to Sigtuna & Uppsala?

    +

    Around 121 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Viking History, Runes & Countryside 9h Tour to Sigtuna & Uppsala 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.
