I unfortunately had a cancelled flight and missed the first two days of the tour in Helsinki and didn't meet anyone until the morning we left for Tallinn, but after that everything went smoothly and probably exceeded my expectations. I really enjoyed all of the places we visited and our tour leader Michelle and driver Gareth were top-notch.
This trip was a hidden gem! The Scandinavian capitals were stylish, and the Baltics were full of history and charm. The fjords in Norway were absolutely breathtaking!

Wear comfortable shoes. Cobblestones make walking difficult with progressive glasses. Our tour guide was excellent. The use of What’s App made communication among travelers well informed of times and departures. Foods were delicious and varied.
My husband and I took this tour to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary. it turned out to be one of the most memorable trips of our lives. We’ve traveled quite a bit over the years, but this tour stood out for its perfect blend of countries.
From the very beginning in Copenhagen everything felt well-organized and thoughtfully planned. The pace was comfortable for us: not too rushed yet still packed with fascinating experiences. We especially loved the fjord region in Norway cruising past snow-capped peaks and still waters was like something out of a dream. Each capital city had its own charm.
The hotels were clean, comfortable, and located close to key attractions which made exploring in our free time very easy. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about making the experience enjoyable. She even arranged a surprise dessert at dinner one evening which brought tears of joy to my eyes. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made us feel celebrated and appreciated.
We also enjoyed connecting with fellow travelers from different backgrounds. This trip reminded us why we fell in love with eachpther in the first place. Scandinavia and the Baltic were destinations we’d always dreamed of, and the team made it all possible without the stress of planning every detail. We came home with beautiful memories, hundreds of photos, and hearts full of gratitude. We would absolutely recommend this tour especially for special milestones. Thank you, team, for making our 45th anniversary so unforgettable.
