This tour was a lot of fun! We fit a lot into the itinerary and got to see so many things across all the countries we visited! Our tour leader Diarmaid was fantastic too. I highly recommend this tour to everyone!
We had a great time and enjoyed every part of the tour. Our tour leader Luke and our driver Brian are the best, always making sure we were safe and had a blast everywhere we went, plus their culture, history and geography knowlede is outstanding.
They make a great team.
This was our 4th Expat tour and can't wait for the 5th. (already planning it), it was the second time we had Luke as a leader and hope to have him again in future tours.
Breakfast was great in every hotel except for Karlstad.
The only reason why we don't put a 5 star in accomodations is Karlstad (definitely not good)
We were the first group to do the Catamaran additional excursion from Gdansk to Sopot and it was one of the best excursions, the Catamaran, the Catamaran crew and the dinner in Sopot were awesome!!!!!
We covered many countries and saw a lot of neat palaces, churches, castles, buildings, and towers that are steeped in history. I also liked the fact that we were given lots of free time to explore cities on our own.
From the waterways of Stockholm to the storied boulevards of Berlin, the "Nordic Capitals and Berlin" city sightseeing tour invites experienced explorers on a 15-day relaxed-paced journey through some of Northern Europe’s most captivating destinations. This group trip traverses seven countries, expertly weaving together urban sophistication and scenic grandeur across iconic capitals and lesser-known gems.
Your adventure commences in Stockholm, where winding canals, regal cathedrals, and the Royal Palace set a majestic tone. Board a ferry to Turku, gliding past the scenic Aland Islands before arriving in Finland’s lively capital. Discover Helsinki’s architectural wonders and vibrant neighborhoods, then venture by boat to the fortress-laden Suomenlinna Islands—a UNESCO World Heritage Site guarding the city since the 18th century.
Next, uncover the charm of Tallinn, Estonia’s capital, where medieval walls, ornate churches, and bustling plazas transport you back in time. The journey continues to Riga, Latvia’s cultural heart, featuring the grand Baroque Palace of Rundale and the lakeside castle of Trakai en route to Lithuania. In Vilnius, marvel at the city’s medieval Old Town, dramatically set atop seven hills.
Crossing into Poland brings you to Warsaw, a city blending royal grandeur and poignant history, from the Royal Castle to the Ghetto Heroes Monument. In Poznan, one of Poland’s oldest cities, stroll through a vibrant mix of tradition and modernity. Finally, the German capital awaits—Berlin beckons with the iconic Brandenburg Gate, the museum-rich Unter den Linden boulevard, and the artistic enclave of Museum Island.
