Discover Scandinavia

Absolutely wonderful experience. Paula our guide was top notch. She did everything to perfection. The itinerary gave us a look at Norway from so many perspectives and I joined this trip because the focus was on Norway followed by quick visits to Copenhagen and Stockholm. And the absolute best part was that we travelled by bus, train and cruise ship. We did not take any airline flights so saw the country side as well as the destinations. Bergen Norway is an absolute gem that many people miss if they start their trip in Oslo. Once again Explore a perfect 10 out of 10. Thank you as always.

Our Tour Leader was efficient and great at logistics Trains, changing and connections Ferry Logistics Able to navigate cities without assistance

This was my first trip with Explore and it’s definitely whetted my appetite for more! A wonderful experience and so relaxing to take so many train and boat trips across the eight days without having any stress about tickets, connections, itineraries, etc etc. The leader was excellent and she held everything together completely calmly and knowledgeably.

There was too much travelling and too little time in each country. What we saw and did was good but we needed more time to absorb what we saw.we

The first part of this trip (in Norway) is excellent but the second part with just one day/night in Denmark and two in Sweden seems rather rushed for all of the traveling involved. Unfortunately we also suffered from a couple of 2/3 hour train delays which meant not getting back to the hotel until 10.00/11.30pm on two separate days. Spectacular scenery in Norway, friendly people and good food everywhere. Our tour leader Maria was exceptional - great local knowledge and lots of suggestions for meals and destinations for free time visits.

Another excellent trip with Explore. I’ve travelled with other companies but keep returning to Explore as their ‘formula’ suits me best: interesting places, small groups of like-minded people often travelling alone and excellent value.

The hotels were very nice, and well-equipped. My favorite was in Copenhagen; I would add 1-2 days to this itinerary: 1 extra day in Oslo, and definitely 1 day in Copenhagen…..it is needed, especially since the train times were long getting there.

A busy and varied itinerary but with plenty of free time built in. Well organised- our tour leader was brilliant.

We loved our leader Mads but think we tried to see too much at the expense of Copenhagen and Stockholm. We loved Norway in particular. Perhaps a trip with one or the other, Copenhagen or Stockholm instead of both.

Thoroughly enjoyed the venture. A good range of "elderly" folks with younger people. Excellent leader. Loved the time we had to explore on our own well and how it was spaced throughout. Recommend that, if possible, other clients should be prepared, if possible, to have Whats App on their phones as Meds was able to communicate this way to the group.
