Review from Helen Carlsson, taken from Sweden History Tours Google page (5 stars)
Priceworthy and fact-filled tour about Swedish folklore. The tour had
an entertaining vibe which balanced the good amount of information.
Jonathan told us exciting (and sometimes even scary) stories from
Swedish folk belief and the quite deranged (to modern ears) events and
actions that Swedes took to protect themselves from magical creatures.
I was on another of Jonathans tours four years ago but this was a
completly different theme and experience, highly recommended!
