We had a great time. The guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I was worried that we would be tired from the walking or standing, but we moved from site to site. We found a tasty lunch during the lunch break. It was good to learn about the history and the runes.

Super knowledgeable and friendly guide! Emma has a real passion for storytelling and Nordic folklore and she would tell us all these immersive stories along the way, loved it. Being at those sites really makes you feel a sort of presence from their past. All in all, recommend if you want to get to know more about the vikings!
