“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.”

“This was a great tour to really learn about. The Vikings in Sweden!. I didn’t even know what a Runestone was and now I understand how the Vikings used them and what they meant. Olaf took us to different sites where the stones were and we learned how the Vikings met a few times a year to plan, including “going Viking” which meant to sail and pillage other lands. We also went to Sweden’s first capital, Sigtuna, now a small village on a lake and had lunch there before we walked the town and learned about Sweden’s religious history. We also visited a Swedish Lutheran church dating back to 1357.…”
