Overview of your Stockholm tour
Join me on an adventure back to the Viking age! . Follow me in the footsteps of a culture known for its exploration and plundering activity in Europe. Go to Sigtuna, the oldest town in Sweden! It was founded in 970 AD by king Eric the Victorious. See medieval church ruins, Viking rune stones. Runes - Runic stones lost in the wilds - or right in the middle of the central square! No one dares to move them, so as not to awaken the pagan gods! We continue to Uppsala , the ancient 7th century mounds and the medieval cathedral. Come with me to Viking Village where you can see cows and goats - fascinating Viking sight. Taking a tour of Valhalla (Valsgarde), a Viking grave hill. Visit Jarlabanki's bridge and listen to the story of Jarlabanke, a powerful Viking Lord who claimed to rule the Lake Vallentuna area.

Gerald is an extremely knowledgeable and passionate guide who provides a comprehensive overview of Viking history for those wanting to travel back in time. He was flexible creating a custom tour allowing us to visit two of the most important Viking locations (Sigtuna & Uppsala). His knowledge of history allows him to create comprehensive tours that paint a large picture of what life was like hundreds of years ago in Sweden. Very thankful Gerald was able to help us create a custom tour that fit all of our desires for a full Viking day tour!
Karen M.United States
Gerald was an excellent tour guide of Stockholm. He customized the tour to our interests, including those of our teen son, driving us around in his very comfortable car. Gerald was fun, witty, entertaining, and knowledgeable. He really knows the history of Stockholm and brought it to life for us. His additions of spectacular photo sites made this trip extra special. For a family with such diverse interests, Gerald was the perfect guide!
