“Our private guide, Quentin, met us at the cruise port and took us right to the Runic Kingdom. It was a beautiful drive through downtown Stockholm and into the countryside. It was really nice to get out and walk in the places where the Vikings had lived. Quentin is an archeologist with a vast knowledge of the Viking culture, lifestyle and leaders. We thoroughly enjoyed our time on this tour and HIGHLY recommend it. Quentin was an excellent guide and a very nice young man. He's also a very good driver and we felt completely safe the entire tour. Thanks for a fantastic time!”
