What people love about touring Nordic / Scandinavia solo
- From Copenhagen to Helsinki
Good hotels, although usually on the outskirts of town. Well organised travel arrangements, although some days had late finishes followed by early starts; but that is to be expected, when covering so much grouns, so quickly. Competent English-speaking guides translated for the minority of English speakers on the trip. There were a few small changes to the itinerary en-route, again as to be expected, as the tight schedule still needed to be flexibilty to adjust to delays, or the weather. Overall, we were well satisfied with the standard of the trip, the friendly guides, the comfortable rooms (and breakfasts!), and the comfortable transport, which included several ferry rides - most in lovely weather!
- Copenhagen to Helsinki
Great flight pleasant team all expectations met
- Grand Scandinavia (Classic)
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.
