Great stories and historical information about the Vikings and their lifestyle. We saw many ruins and got a good sense of their meaning.

Viking is a verb

Published on Sep, 2024

We learned so much about Vikings (including that Viking is a verb)and saw fascinating rune stones and a beautiful church. Olof is so knowledgeable and open to and willing to answer all questions. We thoroughly enjoyed the day! Also appreciated the good communication from Swedish History Tours.
