Denmark and Poland Tours and Trips

I enjoyed every aspect of the trip to Scandinavia and Iceland. The highlight for me was the visit to the Nobel Prize Peace Museum in Oslo, Norway. The other museums which we visited, as the archeological and folk museums, were excellent as well. The scenic views in each country, as the fjords in Norway and the geysers and waterfalls in Iceland were beautiful. All of these experiences were memorable.

Our tour manager, Monica, was exceptional. She was always available to help with any issues or questions. Very knowledgeable about the region. Meals were always excellent, including breakfasts. Local ethnic food was always served at the meals. Our favorites were the ethnic folk dinners in Vienna and Krakow. Don’t miss the World Market in Budapest! So much fun. If you can’t find it there, it doesn’t exist in Hungary!

An amazing tour with great experiential visits to the cities. Can’t pick out one favorite but here’s a few: cooking class in Prague, kleezmeer restaurant and dance, visit to and guided tour of Benedictine monastery and so many more.

Varied opportunities from waltz class to spa experience to symphony and historical sights, the Hapsburg dynasty, the Ottoman influence, and remnants from WWII and the Holocaust. Particularly, I was most impressed with our tour manager Pavel. Not only ws he fluent in the needed languages but he was also of lover of history and quite knowledgeable. Collette should work to keep him as he prefers to work free lance.

Loved Tivoli Gardens…. so much to see in Copenhagen. Wish we had 3 nights there. Didn’t care for the Fredrikstad excursion in Norway. I should have spent that time exploring Oslo more. Loved the overnight ship passage from Copenhagen to Oslo!! Our tour manager, Johnny Friskila was the BEST tour manager/guide!!!

Our Legendary Fjords and Northern Poland End Warsaw tour was an incredible adventure and we enjoyed every moment. The landscapes in Norway were incredible and visiting the small towns along the way, and experiencing the Fjords was wonderful. Tours of the big cities were also enjoyable, and the local guides were real experts. We would have liked more time in Oslo in the Sculpture Park, felt a bit rushed. We loved the included funicular, Ferries, and especially the overnight Ferry from Oslo to Copenhagen which was a unique experience. Overall, the itinerary was excellent. There were 2 days of very early morning start, but most days, we started the days in comfortable times. The 2 days that we covered 500+ km would have been better if there were scheduled comfort stops rather than people having to ask to stop. On Sunday, after Gilo, we stopped at a place that had no lunch, everything was closed, and the Guides shortened lunch time by 30 minutes, so we did not eat at all for hours. Tour guide Miguel and Veronica were very good. It was hard to listen to translations in 3 languages. Both were knowledgeable and gave us enough information, but not too much to overwhelm. Guide Veronica was sometimes in a bad mood. The hotels were very good, itinerary and logistics were excellent. Would have loved to have more walking during the many days on the bus in Norway. NOTE: Veronica Roe was our guide NOT FRANCESCA FAZIO
