Czech Republic and Finland Tours and Trips

All the cities had a lot to offer for historical content and their magnificence. All the optional experiences and tours were worthwhile in adding to the standard content. Take advantage of the opportunity which adds to the overall experience of the countries and their cities. This tour is strenuous so good walking shoes for going up and down steps and hills plus staying hydrated on the bus are important. The bus stops a few hours in a rest area which is good for bathroom breaks and ways to keep mobile. The main tour guide and bus drivers are excellent and go above and beyond in monitoring your well-being, keeping you safe and informed.

It was a wonderful trip. The only criticism I have is one of the hotels didn’t have air conditioning. We opened the window, but it was really loud and it allowed all the cigarette smoke from the street into our room.

Busy itinerary, but there is some down time to do your own thing. The optional experiences I chose were exceptional except for one evening tour. The bus was going by landmarks quicker than I could take pictures of and it was dark out, too dark to see anything.

Enjoyed Jon taking us to the family winery, the dinner cruise and many other locations. Also appreciated the flexibility to spend 3 days with my daughter in Vienna and not be required to do everything according to the Tour intenrary. My daughter lives in Germany and was able to take a bus to the hotel in Vienna to spend time with me. My wife and friends. So many pictures and so many wonderful sites.

Our Tour Director was Fantastic and the Best Director i have had on all my Worldwide tours & Cruises - He paid attention to every detail for each of the 48 Members of our Tour Group

This was an excellent trip in two beautiful countries. The hotel in Helsinki was a bit out of town and quite basic although close to a tram to reach town centre. Helsinki exceeded my expectations and the walks were lovely and could benefit from an extra day here. We could have done with some extra time to explore Turku so perhaps have a trip solely in Finland. The “ferry” to the Åland islands was an experience - it was more like a mini cruise. The islands were beautiful and lots to see and do. Stockholm is also an interesting city to visit and perhaps an extra day here to do an urban green walk would be useful. Our tour guide Toni was exceptional and he provided invaluable insight into life in the Nordic region and was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area. We had a great driver in Roman too. I would definitely recommend this trip. My tip would be do not bring any Swedish krone as very few shops/ restaurants take cash!
