We loved this tour! We only wish it was longer! Annette was very knowledgeable about the bloody history of Uppsala and many other points of history. She was very kind and answered all of our questions and we had a lot! Thank you so much! My daughter and I highly recommend this tour.
Great tour! Very knowledgeable guide who answered all our questions! A lot of information that was both interesting but also fun facts! Good hiking for those who want to hear about the dark but also the bright parts of Uppsala's long history!
Tack för ett fint omdöme och kul att du uppskattade guidningen. Är en av våra mera spännande Uppsalaturer, varmt välkomna igen! Mvh Owe, Sweden History Tours
Nice your. Of course we think Sweden is soft and fluffy but it's really all a sham! The zeal with which they tried to hurt mail or kill 'defective' citizens put the Nazis to shame. The guide was a typical older Swedish lady! You will know what I mean.
