Scandinavia Adventure Trips

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!

This was an amazing tour, giving a glimpse of the three countries. The itinerary was really good and there was time given to explore on our own. Our tour leader Paula was wonderful- well organised and very informative. I would definitely recommend recommend this trip.

The tour provided a most interesting overview of the three Scandinavian countries and was presented excellently by our tour leader and once by another guide in an urban setting. It gave a wonderful view of the landscape of each of the three countries, including mountainous areas and waterways important for interaction in different terrains. There was plenty of opportunity for us to make choices, such as experiencing a chair lift on a mountain. If anything, the tour was a little short on time to experience the three countries, but it certainly gave valuable insight into the culture and landscapes.

Our leader was organized , friendly and a problem solver . She will recommend a tweeting of the itinerary . The details on then itinerary were frequently incorrect re meals provided and free time on both the printed itinerary and app . This is a dimple fix .

As I was unable to complete the itinerary after losing my passport, I will submit a separate review about my experience of this tour.

Paula was an outstanding guide: knowledgeable, organized, helpful, pleasant and friendly. Unfortunately, there were several mixups which stemmed from the company, and which Paula had to cope with, even though they were not her fault. Room allocations were mixed up in almost every hotel. I was sharing wth a friend, but my name, and sometimes my friend’s name was put in to share a room with another person. At one point my friend and I had a queen bed, and the other women (who had no one with her) had twin beds. We were too tired to sort it out that night. Even on the last morning, my friend was given a breakfast box with the other woman’s name on it. Also, the notes were often incorrect, and we had no dinner included when the notes said we did, and vice versa. None of this dampened my enjoyment of the trip; however, this lack of organization should not be happening, and has not been my experience with other Explore trips. It will be important in the future to correct these things. All of that said, the hotels were excellent: well located, and well appointed. I think the inclusion of the different forms of transportation was outstanding, and the transit pass, and the Reffen food pass in Copenhagen were a real bonus.
