Stockholm Tours in Winter

This was our first tour with Trafalgar, and it truly exceeded our expectations. was outstanding — always keeping us informed and comfortable. was excellent as well; he was punctual, patient, helpful with our luggage, and made us feel safe with his driving. guided us during snowshoeing and aurora hunting, and he was wonderful. Our snowmobile guides also took great care of us. The Aurora dinner was nice, though we grew tired standing by the firepit too long, and the sled ride might have been better scheduled earlier. Our husky adventure, however, was exceptional. , our guide in Stockholm, was amazing, knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. Overall, the trip was smooth, well organized, and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better team or a better first experience with Trafalgar.

A well organized Arctic adventure, featuring snowmobiling, snowshoeing, dog sledding, a visit to an ice hotel, a reindeer farm and an Arctic zoo. It was great to learn about the Sami people, church towns as well as the history and features of Finland and Sweden.

Top 5 in my Bucket List is visiting the Scandinavian Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland). I have always been intrigued by these countries due to my fascination with the Vikings history! And surely this tour did not disappoint at all! Enjoyed every moment and surely one of the best tours I have had!

It is a demanding tour. The extreme cold and the lack of daylight play havoc with your body (and mind). Do your research well for the clothing you need as Trafalgar do not give you any specific appropriate advice. The days are busy so consider which optional activities you want to do - maybe plan a rest. A definite lack of vegetables due to conditions/location. Lunches are hit and miss - usually bread based options, possibly at a truck stop. Pack some snacks. Take advantage of every comfort stop (toilet) opportunity. Highly recommend several days in Helsinki before tour to recover from jetlag so you can hit the ground running.

I wish optional activities will be lesser. If ever, Trafalgar should provide other activities that are already included in the budget so the time iis maximized instead of staying in the hotel doing nothing.
