Simple stays with essential amenities. Typically guesthouses, hostels or hotels rated below 3 stars — clean, no-frills, and great for value-conscious travelers.
Comfortable and reliable 3-star stays. Expect private rooms, en-suite bathrooms, and solid amenities — a great balance between comfort and cost.
Upscale 4-5 star hotels and lodges. Enjoy high-end service, refined comfort, and premium locations — ideal for travelers seeking extra indulgence.
Had a brilliant holiday, saw so much, but the trip title is a misnomer.
Not sure what the odds are of seeing the northern lights in 4 nights, but unlikely to be more than 50:50

Loved this tour, fast paced but not too much, really well structured so you felt you saw all of the must sees in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Highlights have to be the Fjords and ABBA Museum. Used good hotels, all comfortable, great breakfasts and close to good public transport. Did most of the optionals and would really recommend them, they were usually far cheaper than doing it yourself. First tour with Expat, they offer really good value and we will be using them again

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.
The. tour brought me so much happy memories and allowed me to see interesting places I never would see.The experiences and the knowledge shared made me a better person than yesterday. I never realized that one day I will be able to reach this so wonderful, colorful and historically rich cities which I only see in movies or read in books. I congratulate Expatexplore for organizing these tours not only for adventure of a lifetime but a vivid wikepedia for learning.

A really great experience visiting Norway, Denmark and Sweden. Our guide Mads was excellent! He was very knowledgeable, giving detailed info for every location we visited, as well as being attentive and kind. The Fjords are amazing, as well as the Flam Railway but then everything we did was enjoyable!
We had such a great bunch of people in our small group of 11.
Would highly recommend this trip, absolutely no negatives!

This was my first solo trip and my first time using Explore! It was a brief tour but it allowed me to get accustomed to the tour experience. Our tour leader, Einar, was exceptional. He made the trip both educational and entertaining. Einar shared his Icelandic heritage graciously and answered all of our questions with kindness. Our group was a wonderful mixture of ages and personalities and we blended very well. We even got to see the Northern Lights! 😊 I highly recommend this tour and look forward to my next adventure with Explore!
