Helsinki Local culture Trips

Some days involve a lot of travelling. This seems obvious but some travellers seemed unprepared for this. On several days there did not seem to be a scheduled meal stop near the middle of the day. Our tour leader worked hatted to have things as well organised as possible but people did not do as they promised. While I have no doubt the transfers on the focal morning were well organised difficulties would have been avoided if the tour leader had stayed until the second transfer took place. The scenery and many of the experiences were excellent. So glad we joined the tour.

While overall the itinerary is outstanding, some of the days are, by necessity very long days on the road. Also, it must be noted that the accommodations in some of the more remote locations are somewhat basic. That being said the trip is very much value for money.

Everything was taken care of- Tour guide was very knowledgeable, excursions were interesting, extremely well organized- our tour guide even introduced himself via email before the trip so we knew who to look for at the airport or to call if we needed anything. It was truly a vacation- no worries!

our tour director and our driver provided us with excellent service and great driving. We enjoyed thw service as well as the natural scenes. Thank you for your kindness and taking care of our trip. We were extremely pleased with your investigative abilities in solving the problem of the lost bag for an unknown fellow traveller. Because of your perseverance and dedication, you saved a fellow traveller from being miserable when he found his important travel documents. Thank you for caring to take the time to return the precious documents to the rightful owner. As travelers ourselves, we can only imagine the angst of losing our documents, only to have a kind soul who took the time to return them to you because of the kindness of another human being.

This was a great trip! The landscape is stunning, and the sites are unique and interesting. The contrast in the 4 countries in landscape was just amazing! A few days of just driving from one hotel to another, but our tour guide always filled the time with stories of culture, history and social constructs of the area so the time went by fast! If you see Dino is your tour guide, you won't be disappointed, he made the trip so interesting and fun! This is like no other Trafalgar trip and we loved it!

We saw so much of the countryside. I couldn’t believe we travelled 8,000 klms. Some long days on the bus. Some very interesting places we visited. The beauty you couldn’t describe.
