5.00Our family took a tour of Uppsala, guided by Ms. Annet (apologies if the spelling is incorrect). She led us around Uppsala University and the cathedral at a pace that was just right—never too rushed or too slow. We were engaged throughout and never felt bored. Highly recommended!
An area rich in history!

5.00We took a day trip from Stockholm, and truly enjoyed seeing a different part of the country. The train ride was lovely, and navigating around the town was easy. The University, Cathedral, and Museum were all very interesting. Walking around the burial mounds in learning more about the history of the area was wonderful
Old mounds new stories.

3.00Although our guide was knowledgeable - we didn't really glean any information beyond that which was available within the adjacent museum. Also we didn't walk around the mounds and the church wasn't open. Both of these elements we did ourselves. So it was less of a 'guided tour' and more of a stationary chat about the history of the site.
