Country Roads of Scandinavia

We enjoyed our trip to Norway and Denmark. Our tour guide and bus driver were amazing. had a wealth of information, very courteous, funny and was very attentive to all of our needs. Our bus driver was also amazing. Well dressed every day, extremely professional and always helped us on and off the bus and one night, even brought our luggage up to our rooms due to a change in our getting to our next destination. We found most of the choices that Insight planned, were good. We would have liked another day in Oslo. On our own, arriving a day early, we visited City Hall and the Nobel Peace Prize museum. Both should have been offered in the tour. The picture of the house where the president lives, that was featured in the brochure, we didn’t visit. We would have enjoyed more time in Denmark. It seems like we were riding on the bus for a long, long time. We know that you can’t control the weather, but it was a long, long ferry ride, in the rain to see another waterfall, cave and where Tom Cruise jumped off a cliff in his latest movie.

Very good itinerary. Quite extensive of Norway. Covered the things you would want to see and visit! Denmark the same. Ofense, Copenhagen.. best bits!!

Norway is very scenic. Coverage is just right. Beautiful scenery.

The locations included in the tour were spot on, and free time allowed for some additional exploration. The only downside is many single night stays.

Beautiful but often overcast and rainy

Norway was very scenic and the route gives plenty of opportunities to enjoy it. Some of the hotels were right in town which really added to our ability to get around and see things easily. Th hotel at Stavenger was in an industrial area with no restaurants or any where to eat which meant we had to eat before going to hotel this made for a very long day. I would also suggest if you go on this tour list every food dislike as menus are often set and the tour director was quite disagreeable if you didn't want a particular course on one occasion berating us at the table most unprofessional. The tour director was often inflexible I often heard comments from others that indicated they did not feel comfortable asking questions. On the first day I asked about putting cases out and the response was well haven't you travelled with Insight before. No we hadn't. Overall the trip was enjoyable you just have to try to ignore the guide issues.

Some of the hotels were not located conveniently. It helps to have at least a convenience store and a restaurant or two nearby. Two hotels were remote.
