Denmark Tours and Trips

A lot of driving in the bus but necessary to cover the full length of Finland and Norway. The scenery out of the bus window is the main attraction as it keeps changing and is spectacular. The buses are designed for maximum comfort and scenery viewing and I didn’t take my eyes off the scenery for a minute especially in Norway as we drove beside countless fjords and over mountain passes and past gushing waterfalls coming off the melting snow. May June is a good time to go as there is still good snow cover on the peaks to make the photos more interesting

The group encountered beautiful scenery of Scandinavia from Copenhagen to the Norwegian fjords to Stockholm. This tour provides a terrific comprehensive experience of these countries. The tour director was excellent giving us stories of history and culture and helped us with issues during the trip.

Beautiful views, busy and interesting cities and optional side trips, great food and dinners (including sumptuos buffet breakfasts at the upscale hotels) traveling through Norway and Denmark in approx. 14 days (including air travel.) Tour guide and additional local guides are super knowledgeable, the coach driver was safe, efficient and helpful to all. Our group was under 40, which we appreciated. Fun to talk with others and discuss their travel and interests in off time.

The trip was both enjoyable and educational. I learned a lot about both countries. The Salmon Institute and their museum and scientific station in Norway was extremely interesting and unique. They had made a step,system by tunnel through rocks. You could actually get right next to the stairs and see the fish. The also had observational windows where you could see inside a stair area and the fish. The car tunnels in Norway were so advanced (traffic circles, on/off ramps). The scenery along the route and the fjords was beautiful. I have visited family in Denmark before so it wasn’t a totally new experience in Denmark but there were enough different options that I could visit places I hadn’t seen before like St Knut Cathedral in Odense. The palace north of Copenhagen was breath taking. The tour guide provided by insight made the palace experience 200% better. The pace was just right. Not rushed like some other tours I been on with other companies.

Based on reports from other group members, the optional day tour to Zeeland from Copenhagen was not worthwhile. Instead, we would recommend the Rosenberg Castle, which we visited on our own. In general, we thought the itinerary had a nice blend of city and country places of interest. Some hotel rooms were quite small when trying to manage large cases, but we understood that choices in more remote areas are limited. We were impressed by our tour leader Danny Steenkamp, who maintained a composed and energetic demeanor for the whole tour, along with our bus driver. We would recommend this tour to others.

The Insight Grand Scandinavia tour takes you to places that you wouldn't think of booking by yourself. Our Tour Director and Driver were brilliant! The specialist tour guides were informative and proud to show their cities to us. Communication throughout the tour was informative and relevant. Food and hotels were excellent. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the real Scandinavian Adventure.
