Capitals of Scandinavia

There were too few included tours, and too many optional tours at additional cost. Our tour director, the coach driver, and the local tour guides were all excellent.

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. A+ to Trafalgar for including an overnight cruise into Helsinki, many optional excursions and an outstanding Be My Guest luncheon. Well done!

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.

Loved it. Old have skipped lce bar,but Enjoyed the rest. Guide was great.

We enjoyed tour much, itinerary was good, information provided throughout was complete and accurate. We did not enjoy ferry to Helsinski. Super expensive and bad food choices. Is there any other route to get to Helsinski?

great overview of the countries Lassee very knowledgable

It was a wonderful trip. The only criticism I have is one of the hotels didn’t have air conditioning. We opened the window, but it was really loud and it allowed all the cigarette smoke from the street into our room.

We felt we received the Vikings experience. The Scandinavian countries are beautiful, clean and food was delicious. Our tour guide was the best and highly recommended.

Too many optional experiences and fewer non- optional items on the itinerary. The tour director and driver were excellent.

I did not expect to spend two entire days on coach to cross countries for nine hours each day! The hotel in Oslo was in the middle of nowhere. When we got there after one day on the bus, the metro tickets for city tour were all sold out. The TD wasn’t very helpful in offering us a ride to downtown when he was headed to the downtown with the optional tour group. Also, this tour included only the local city tours at each of the capitals. Everything else was pretty much optional adding to the total cost.

Many new experiences. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. We met some very nice folks to travel with. Trafalgar never disappoints.

Very organized. Places we visited were all very interesting/ beautiful. Our tour director was fun, accommodating and knowledgeable.

This was an exciting experience and I enjoyed packing in all of the places we visited. Felt like Norway was a short stay but also not sure what else there would have been to do. Didn't seem like there was much of an old historic part for shopping. The 2 bus ride days were long but made the ride fun and informative. had the trip planned very well and did a great job at adhering to the schedule.

Good coverage but travel director made the difference in bringing additional information to travellers , keeping us well engaged through out the trip. Restaurants well appointed and recommendations that enabled us to sample local cuisine

It was great, the tour guide was so so amazing and so was the bus driver . Cannot say a negative thing about them. Their service, care and standard was unbeatable. A few disappointments along the way but it was more to do with the hotel standards, aircons not working at all,shower not working, our family being kept in rooms on different levels , even though we had young kids , however we were situated in rooms next to other couples on the tour. These things are not a fault of Trafalgar however! More a fault of the hotels.

My 18 year old son and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on our Capitals of Scandinavia tour we went on earlier this month. We ended up going on all of the extra tours that Trafalgar suggested and they were well worth the money. The pace of the trip (staying 2 nights in each city) was perfect for both our ages (18 and 58). The Scandinavian countries are beautiful and clean, and the Nordic people are happy and kind. Not only do I recommend this tour whole-heartedly, but I would go on it again in the near future. My son was celebrating his graduation from high school and I was celebrating my 58th birthday and were so swept up in the moment, that we even got matching tattoos in Stockholm.

Five countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Estonia) claim to be the happiest place in the world. On this trip, you will discover that each country has legitimate claims to that title. You get to examine those claims in detail by consuming great food, staying at superior hotels, overnight cruising in a modern floating hotel of a ship, and getting a taste of each country’s history and culture - all under the careful guidance of expert local guides and a Tour Director who stays with you all the way, making sure that everything goes as planned. A prefect, care-free way to experience Scandinavia.
