Czech Republic and Sweden Tours and Trips

A great introduction to Finland and the Stockholm area. I really enjoyed the combination of walking and sightseeing. I was pleasant surprised that the walking wasn’t quite as gentle as I’d feared The Finnish countryside was stunning and this, together with the stay in Turku, were my highlights. Toni was an excellent guide, full of information and history about both his home country of Finland and Sweden. The only downside for me was the Stockholm hotel, where the room was very warm and there was a lot of street noise with the window open at night,

A very well-organized trip with an exceptional leader.

Busy enough but also some good free time planned.

The included visits were not very interesting, castle not open to visite, monasterie that was more like a library. If you wanted to see more interesting visit you had to pay for each one of them. Disappointing. Not like the best of Spain and Portugal that we did 2 years ago.

Pleasant countryside and a varied itinerary made this an interesting tour, and much more than just a walking holiday. I learnt a lot about Finnish culture and history from our tour-guide, Toni, who was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. For me, the island of Åland was a particularly special place and the visit to the Vasa in Stockholm was another highlight. For any fellow "gluten-free" travellers, I can say that it was very easy: there was a lot of choice at hotel breakfasts and on restaurant menus.

Excellent trip which was well organised and gave the right balance of group activity and free time. The train journeys and overnight ferry crossing worked well and the fjord boat trip and flåm railway were lovely. It would be interesting to see more of Denmark and Sweden but that would make it quite a long trip, however my appetite to revisit these countries has been whetted! Paula was a very good tour leader!
