He was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the Viking history of Sweden, a topic we knew very little about.. Karl even added a couple of extra things for us to see on our tour and we especially enjoyed Sigatuna (not sure if I spelled it correctly), which was a very cute town. We would recommend this tour.”
