Overview

The only private day trip to Uppsala from Stockholm. Uppsala is the fourth largest city in Sweden. It is famous for having the oldest and most traditional university in the country, founded in 1477. The young feel and student vibe is easy to feel in Uppsala. The city is also known for the Cathedral, it took roughly 150 years to complete and is the largest in Scandinavia. Swedish kings have been coronated here and some even buried. Many important Swedes lived and died in Uppsala, you can visit the tombs of Carl Linneaus (founder of the naming system for plants), Dag Hammarskjold (UN General Secretary) and Anders Celsius (the temperature scale). Take your time and walk around for a nice lunch of your own choosing. You can also shop at the traditional central market and modern Downtown area. You will also visit the Old Uppsala. This archaeological site has been inhabited for more than 1500 years and is seen as the most important settlement of early Sweden.

Great Day Out.

Published on Feb, 2025

We really enjoyed an interesting and informative tour with our guide Calle. Learned a lot, saw some lovely countryside and had fun doing it. Highly recommend.

Excellent Viking Tour

Published on Jan, 2025

My family (including 15 year old son) just had a wonderful day tour of Broby Bro, Jarlabanki’s Bridge, Arkil’s Tingstad, Gamla Uppsala and Uppsala. The tour was made even better by our guide, Olof. Olof was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. I also appreciated how accommodating Sweden History Tours were, letting us tailor our itinerary including where we went and at what times. I would certainly recommend both Sweden History Tours and Olof to anyone interested in seeing some of Sweden’s most important Viking sights in an informative and efficient manner.

Fantastic day out

Published on Nov, 2024

We had an amazing day out, tour guide was fantastic and built the trip around our preferences. Gave us the right amount of time at each place and indulged our fascination with the snow! Would highly recommend as a day trip.

Personalized tour

Published on Jul, 2023

This was our last tour in Stockholm and wished it would have been the first. Carl was our driver/guide and he was amazing. First viator doesn’t explain well what the tour involved. Basically you book a guide from 9-5. He will take you anywhere you want and will do what you want to do. We could have gone to Sigtuna and Skokloster with him instead of paying for a separate tour. Carl took us to very unusual Viking places and then stopped and waited for us at the museum of history to see the Viking exhibition. I recommend this tour as you can modify it according to your desires.

Very knowledgeable historian and beautiful sites

Published on Jun, 2023

Jonathan was our tourguide and an incredibly knowledgeable historian. He was flexible with our family and catered our tour to include sites that are interesting to our children. All in all, a very enriching and enjoyable experience.
