What people love about touring Nordic / Scandinavia solo
- Northern Capitals
Well planned, lots of great experience. Iris (tour director) and Janek (driver) were both top-notch! There was a good balance of structured touring and free time.
- Copenhagen to Helsinki
Great tour, better to do it alone if you travel alone because Scandanavian culture is built around that. The mountains were great (I recently moved from CO/WY area to the not-so-great Houston, so seeing these made it better). Mike our tour guide was excellent, knew what he was doing, if there was a hang up it never felt like a hang up he handled it well, he was very knowledgeable in the facts of the areas we visited. The dinners were great, people were great. Overall, the trip is great if you like colder climates, quiet cities, clean culture, no loud music or yelling in these places, and people are super introverted.
The itinerary was excellent, we saw a lot that would have been missed flying from city to city. The hotels and included breakfast were overall great. Buses were clean and well maintained. There was a lot of driving but they usually stopped in interesting places and allowed you to roam for an hour which we enjoyed. Included activities such as fiord ride and tram were excellent choices. This tour provided exactly what we wanted, a view of 4 countries in Scandinavia, good hotels, transportation, and a basic guide. It also allowed time to explore on own which we love. Negatives? It was mainly Spanish speaking and we speak English, they did repeat most in English, definitely all important things. People add and drop off tour at various places, we were joined by many In Stockholm and changed our English speaking guide. From there the bus was full and the people in front of us rudely put back there seats and slept in our lap. On the first leg they specifically noted not to lean back if someone was behind you, oh well! We did add on a night at the beginning and they picked us up at the airport👍. In Helsinki we added 3 more nights on our own at a property closer to the city. Overall we really enjoyed our trip with them.
