This trip was jam-packed with fun and interesting experiences! The driver and tour director were excellent guides in this exciting, fast-paced indulgence into the capitals of Scandinavia. Shout out to the local hosts that were very knowledgeable in their areas of expertise.

This was our eighth trip, with Trafalgar and the first seven trips were excellent!
Unfortunately, something has changed with the Trafalgar travel experience, and this trip was a disappointment. The accommodations were mediocre at best, and many other issues were discouraging. We won't be taking any more trips with Trafalgar.

It was a fun tour overall with as an excellent tour guide. Our driver was the best!
One negative was that the short cruise to view the fjords did not really represent a true fjord which were further up the Norwegian coast. Also The Helsinki tour guide was a bit boring with fact after fact recited as if she was reading from a script.
