Great experiences and activities - weather dependent.
Our only suggestion is to provide more detailed information on what to bring depending upon the week you book. We ended up purchasing and packing things that were unnecessary.
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!

Honestly I really enjoyed everything. But if I had to pinpoint a favourite I think it would be how often we saw the northern lights. Due to the extreme weather conditions - a blizzard in October, we saw them almost every night which I think makes us really lucky, as I was expecting it to be much harder to see them. Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised by the adaptability of our day plans by our TM and Driver when we needed to be kept safe, and had delays to departures on some days due to snow, icy roads, and strong winds - we still managed to see everything we would have in the end and made some surprise pit stops too! I was super stoked with the glacier hike, but it would be even more incredible if it was longer. The only way I think this trip could be improved would be to have the start time earlier so the first day is actually a full day, and start the travel straight away! Why do we need to stay in Reykjavík on the first and last night? It could easily be changed to make the trip feel like you see even a tiny bit more.

I had not heard of the company before so I was apprehensive about booking an international trip, but everything was seamless and easy. We saw all of the major highlights in each city, and transportation between countries was seamless. Our tour guides were knowledgeable and helpful, and everything was paced well.
Scandinavia has astonishing sightseeing for those who like nature or history. The experience was even better with Contiki. Ollie our trip manager and Tamas our drive provide a lot of historical information, curiosities and we were able to drive to some other places for sightseeing. Highly recommend it.
