What people love about Norway and Sweden Tours for Seniors
- Highlights of Scandinavia
Wonderful trip! Our tour director, Carolyn, was very knowledgeable and well versed about Scandinavia and if there was any question that arose that she didn't have an immediate answer for, she researched it and found out! Her organization kept all our tour members largely on track over 12 days, in many cities across three countries. Our driver, Greg, was fantastic as well. We were never lost and he maneuvered the bus like a pro! The planned and optional experiences were enjoyable, the views were breathtaking, and the food was good, too! Carolyn and Costsaver/Trafalgar build small moments and experiences into the trip as well to allow you to experience a bit of the local culture. This makes the whole thing even more memorable! The hotels are satisfactory, but rooms are a bit small in some cases and TV technology is limited. Best to bring a tablet for streaming as wifi is generally available, but smart TVs are not. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat - loved it!!
- Focus on Scandinavia
Saw many interesting sights.
Jenn was incredibly educated, lovely, organized, and communicated with everyone on the tour so well. She loves her job, and it truly impacts the experience of the tour. Gabor, who was our driver, was so good at getting us places on time, safely, and navigated the coach on the switchback roads up and down the mountain like a champ!! We covered so much ground and were in the bus more often than I would have anticipated, but we got to see a lot of amazing things and stay in some neat places. The hotels were always in great locations for walking to the towns we were in, and the food was so good. The optional experiences had a mix of things, but overall were a dream. We met some amazing Scandinavians who love their countries and their lives and shared what they had with us. It was a really great experience overall!

The accommodations focus on comfort and convenience with 4-star hotels in city centers. You'll find properties like the Scandic Copenhagen and Clarion Sign Stockholm which offer modern rooms with essential amenities.

A recent TourRadar traveler noted: "Our hotels were in excellent locations and the luxury transportation really made this trip. The accommodation quality was consistently high throughout Scandinavia."

Summer months bring comfortable temperatures reaching 20-25°C (68-77°F) in Stockholm and Oslo while coastal Bergen stays cooler at 15-20°C (59-68°F). Those looking to avoid peak crowds often choose May or September when the weather remains pleasant but tourist numbers drop. Booking records show most senior travelers prefer the June to August period.
How much walking is typically involved in Norway and Sweden senior tours?
Daily city tours usually include 2-3 hours of relaxed walking on level ground. Tours through Stockholm's Gamla Stan and Oslo's Vigeland Park include regular rest stops. For those seeking less active options scenic experiences like the Flåm Railway provide wonderful alternatives. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "Our guide was very accommodating of different walking abilities and always offered alternatives."

Tour packages typically cover daily breakfasts and select dinners. For example the Collette Spectacular Scandinavia provides 12 breakfasts and 8 dinners featuring local cuisine. Meals take place at hotel restaurants like the Thon Hotel Bristol and local establishments. According to one TourRadar review "Breakfast buffets were extensive and dinners showcased local specialties like Norwegian salmon and Swedish meatballs." Special dining experiences often include evenings at Bergen's Bryggen harbor or within Stockholm's historic Gamla Stan.
