What people love about touring Nordic / Scandinavia solo
- From Copenhagen to Helsinki
Several long days not getting to hotel till 8:30
- Copenhagen to Helsinki
Brilliant, personable, and knowledgeable guide (Luke), wonderful safe and experienced driver (Bogdan), and fabulous tour. Extremely well organized, a curated experience-lovely adventure where all was taken care of and a nice balance of free time with included activities and optional activities. I have had bad experiences with previous tours and Luke and this tour has changed my opinion of tours. This tour of Scandinavia and Finland was brilliant and I would recommend it. Two recommendations: 1) Local guides should ALL have Whisper Systems. Some are really hard to hear, especially with a larger group and in some city areas. A couple of these were really hard to hear. 2) The Helsinki walks and local guide, Rebecca, was awful. Awful. We went over 2.5 hours in mid-day heat, was not given lunch break so it was 2:30 when we could finally eat. She walked extremely fast and did not wait for people-by the time the people in the back caught up she was walking again. No whisper system and she stopped in really loud intersections or by machinery so couldn't hear most of it. The pace was horrendous; we had a few older people who really struggled to keep up and I felt I was i training for a marathon; a fellow traveller said it felt like we were in a big hurry to go nowhere, another said boot camp exercise. She dragged us a long route to library when we could have taken a more direct shorter route or even taken tram to library to start. This was worst part of hole trip, 3people dropped out 25 minutes in. 5 of us left before it ended, maybe 30 minutes-found Luke and told him so he wasnt worried-and went for lunch,

A fantastic trip, our guide Greg and driver Zolton were exceptional. I have done many trips with Insight and as well as many, many with other companies but have to say Greg Colgin went out of his way making my trip one of the best ever. A very attentive Tour Director and attention to details the best. As for Zoltan this is the second trip I have travelled with him as driver, a driver I Trust and feel safe with and a man that goes out of his way to make our experience even better. A lovely clean coach each day with beautifully cleaned windows is always a plus. As for Insight I just love the roomy coaches with extra leg space.
