Sweden Guided Tours & Trips
Picture crushing ice on a two-hour Icebreaker excursion, driving dog sleds through snowy forests, then hunting for Northern Lights in Luleå. Swedish Arctic explorer is genuinely thrilling. Feed moose by hand at a local park, choose from snowmobiling or ice fishing. Northern Sweden's winter activities deliver experiences that sound impossible, including breaking through thick ice, mushing huskies, chasing aurora, but happen regularly in Swedish Lapland.

Nikolai was FANTASTIC!!!! He was a great tour leader. The tour took us to many places and he educated us well. However, just a few negative comments. The hotels were not satisfactory ....I am used to better hotels when I travel. Carrying my luggage throughout the tour was very burdensome. I am an older person, and although I am in great shape, I did not want to be responsible for carrying my luggage everywhere. There was an 89 year old man on our trip. He had a real hard time catching up. I usually go on escorted tours where my luggage, and everything else, is handled by the guides, not by me. I loved the places that wer went to and overall I would suggest people take Tourradar and Intrepid if they don't mind doing some of the labor involved.
