2026
Classic Saga Tour 2026: Arrival Friday August 21st. Departure Friday August 28th
If you love The Circle of Ceridwen Saga books, or just want to experience this magical island and all its history, beauty, and variety, this Tour is for you. Our base will be the charming Hotell St Clemons here in Visby, and from there we will enjoy three motor coach excursions taking us north, east, and south. We’ll view Bronze Age and Iron Age monuments and landscapes Ceridwen and Sidroc would have known, marvel at the intimate beauty of the Medieval churches Gotland is renowned for, explore a historic fishing village, and visit a sheep farm to meet some authentic Gotland “lamm”. If you joined me on either of the 2023 Saga Tours, you know what beauty awaits, and with many new surprises for 2026. This link will take you to the programme of the September 2023 Saga Tour, which will give you an understanding of what to expect for 2026.
Medieval Week 2026 Saga Tour: Arrival Friday July 31st. Departure Friday August 7th
The focus of the week is Gotland’s Medeltidsveckan – Medieval Week – Scandinavia’s oldest and largest Medieval Festival, set in the enchanting UNESCO World Heritage town of Visby. We’ll have a boutique hotel all to ourselves as our base from which to explore the beautiful, safe, and friendly medieval town of Visby, and soak up the atmosphere of thousands of costumed performers, vendors, and visitors. In addition I have planned some very special experiences with you in the countryside, including a day at Bunge Open Air Museum where we’ll be surrounded by 1000 years of Gotland history. This link will take you to the programme of the 2025 Medieval Week Tour, which will give you an understanding of what to expect for 2026.
