Cruise from Stockholm City Hall to UNESCO Birka on Björkö, with museum entry and a guided Viking field walk.

It would have been nice to know in advance you could actually order lunch to have on board. Also because once you get to the island at this time of year the restaurant is closed and the cafe does not serve any lunch, only sweet treats and pastries. Again the guide was brilliant and very entertaining in the tour of the island as well, and the museum was educational and fun, but the viking village was a bit dead,…”
