7-Day Nordic Fjords & Three Countries Loop Tour: Denmark, Sweden & Norway

I booked this trip for all three of us. The pace was comfortable enough for them, and luggage handling between hotels was manageable. The driver was careful and the coach was always clean. We had one rainy afternoon but that's just Nordic weather. Still a wonderful vacation.

7-Day Scandinavian Escape Loop Tour: Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo, Denmark, Sweden, Norway

This was my first solo trip and it couldn’t have gone better! Free roommate matching was perfect. The itinerary is well-paced, not too rushed. Customer service responded immediately when I had questions about the Flamsbana train. Every guide we had was friendly, informative, and really cared about the group. Hotels were clean and in great locations. The Sognefjord cruise was breathtaking!
