Sweden Cultural, Religious and Historic Sites Tours 2024/2025

“I recently completed the Absolute Scandinavia tour and found it to be comprehensive and well laid out. The drawbacks were the inconsistency and constant changing of our guide and the lack of clarity of meeting expectations by some of the newer guides. There were also numerous times when there were explanations in 3 different languages, making it difficult to follow any narrative. I understand the desire for a full bus, but it became like a game of checkers with guides moving around almost daily. Speaking English seemed to be an afterthought and less important. language.”

“Andreea, our tour leader, and Bjorn, our coach driver, were fabulous! There was so much to see and do and Andreea made it all possible and Bjorn got us there safely. Andreea was so knowledgeable about the sites - she showed us hidden jewels we would never have found on our own. She even had a medical emergency that she had to address with minimal disruption to the tour! No senerio was too much for her excellent skill set! The scenery in Norway was breathtaking! Hospitality everywhere was gracious and charming. If there weren't so many other spaces to see with our ExPat family, we'd to this tour again with Andreea and Bjorn. This was our 5th ExPat tour and we signed up for four more during this year's promo!”

“I enjoyed this tour but, looking back at the itinerary, I think better use could have been made of the time. We spent three long days on the bus traveling from Bergen to Stockholm but had little to show for it, and a day driving from Stockholm to Copenhagen, with only a quick stop to take photos of the exterior of Kronborg Castle (with no time tour the castle). The day we traveled from Bergen to Lillehammer, we didn't arrive until 21:00 (11 PM), too late to do anything there. The next night, we arrived at the Dalarma-area hotel too late to see the town. The only noteworthy event in those three days was the optional stop at a viking village followed by the optional fjord cruise. The viking village wasn't a real village but was all new construction for tourists. An "open jaws" route, Stockholm to Bergen via Copenhagen, substituting two unneeded driving days with extended stays in two cities, would make better use of the time. And, this is an 11-day tour, not a 12-day tour. It started at dinner time check-in and ended with a breakfast on the last day. I would count those meals and one night's lodging (18 hours) as day 11, not two days.. The tour is still a good value and I will travel with Expat again.”
