I enjoyed the flexibility and compensation that Insight provided when due to unforeseen circumstances, some changes had to be made.
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!
For the quintessential Scandinavian experience, take on an eight-day adventure and see all the best bits of Finland, Sweden and Norway’s capital cities. As well as Helsinki, Stockholm and Oslo, you’ll also visit a few lesser-known spots, like the village of Tallberg, which sits on the scenic shores of one of Sweden’s largest lakes. Take city tours with your handy local leader, try the cultural experience of Fika, learn how to bake cinnamon rolls and paint horses and walk through the forest to an outdoor lunch experience with a local host. Sail through Sweden’s archipelago of 30,000 islands, taste some delicious local snacks and drinks in Norway and balance it all with some free time to explore at your own pace – urban sauna on the Oslo fjord, anyone?
Make the most of the cold season and take a trip to Lapland in winter – this is Northern Scandinavia blanketed in white! Over eight days, you’ll travel through Finland, Sweden and Norway to see a hotel carved from ice, bake bread the traditional Swedish way, visit the UNESCO-listed church town of Gammelstad and search for the Northern Lights. Take a tour at night with a local expert in Abysko National Park and give yourself the best opportunity to see the sky light up, then meet the local Sami people and soak up their history, way of life and resident reindeer. Wander around beautiful cities and small towns, like Rovaniemi (Santa's official hometown), Lulea, Narvik and Tromso – all with a local leader by your side to give you all the insights.
Set off on a 5-day adventure through the rugged and dramatic landscapes of the Faroe Islands. From land and sea, look out over the archipelago’s floating lakes, towering cliffs and waterfalls. Interspersed with the impressive views, this trip includes moments to meet locals and get an up-close look at island life. Sit down for a personal dining experience called Heimablidni, where visitors are invited to locals’ tables. Tour a regional farm, then eat in the farmstead operated by the same family since centuries (literarily!). You’ll tick off the well-loved sights, but your local leader will show you so much more.
Discover wild Arctic landscapes on this nine-day journey through Northern Norway and Sweden. Kick things off in the island city of Tromso, then board the legendary Ofoten Railway to Abisko National Park (warning: it’s a panoramic workout for your neck muscles) to hike a section of Sweden’s most famous trail. Tuck into a traditional lunch on a Sami cultural tour in Vilhelmina, then ride the retro Inlandsbanan train through Swedish Lapland – including a photo stop at the Arctic Circle. Explore the lakeside city of Ostersund, then end your Swedish adventure in the culture-rich capital of Stockholm – maybe with a sticky cinnamon bun.
Traverse Sweden, Finland, and the coast of Norway, uncovering Nordic heritage among UNESCO treasures, colorful coastal towns, and Arctic landscapes. In Sweden, explore Stockholm, meet with local Sámi, and walk among red cottages in UNESCO-listed Gammelstad Church Town. In Finland, cross the Arctic Circle, eat grilled whitefish in a riverside kota, meet reindeer, and discover Sámi heritage. In Norway, soak in the scenery with a five-night Hurtigruten cruise on the legendary Coastal Express, visit fjordside villages, and finish your journey in Bergen. From Viking towns and Sámi stories to fjord cruises and Lapland wilderness, experience the rich heritage and natural beauty of the North.
