“È stata una bellissima esperienza. La guida ci è venuta a prendere in hotel e ci ha portato sulle tracce dei vichinghi in paesini fuori Stoccolma e in una foresta piena di rovine vichinghe che conduceva ad un lago ghiacciato. Il tutto innevato e a -10 gradi. Munitevi di dopo sci e abbigliamento adeguato altrimenti rischiate di non riuscire a terminare il tour per il freddo pungente. Bellissime le storie sui vichinghi del posto che ci ha raccontato in loco la guida e in macchina durante il viaggio di andata e ritorno. Veramente consigliato.”
Pick a season, pick a region, pick a day.
