Viking Tour

This Viking tour follows the traces of the Norse age in the countryside around Stockholm. Indeed, this region was a centre of power long before the city itself existed. Moreover, the tour is private, with a friendly English-speaking guide.

On the Trail of the Norsemen

The route leads to rune stones still standing where they were raised a thousand years ago, their carved inscriptions remarkably clear. Burial mounds and old assembly places show how society was organised. Along the way, your guide separates the historical record from the popular image of horned helmets. Above all, the settings are peaceful and rarely crowded.
