Get Social: Scandi Express (Winter)

Disappointed by lack of activities and no optional. Didn’t realise I would have to do my own research as much as I had to. Thought the point of going on a tour was to pay for someone to help organise things for you. Disappointed that the museums mentioned in the blurb of the website no longer exist or are closed during winter. Website needs to be updated as it feels like it is false advertising. Bad tour guide who was unfriendly and really didn’t do much. Was annoying doing walking tours in the dark at night instead of during the day as I felt we couldn’t see as much.

The tour was falsely advertised online. My travel agent called in to confirm the details and we were provided false information on the phone again. We were told that rooms were for 2-4 people max ( I received a paper copy of that confirmation from topdeck) but upon arriving on the trip we were all surprised to see that the rooms had 10 people, and 1 bathroom. The tour guide was terrible. She was disorganized, unknowledgeable, and unprepared. The itinerary listed that we would receive free city tours and that we had a number of optional activities that we could do. All items listed on the optional activity itinerary were cancelled or closed... We only found out upon arriving to the place. We didn't even get any of the promised city tours. All in all, I'm not really sure what I paid for. We were forced to plan our own outings, organize our own sightseeing and find our way around on our own. I would not recommend this tour!

The driver and tour manager were very knowledgeable on the areas we went too and were always on the lookout to make sure we were okay

I loved both of my Topdeck trips. I recently did the Scandi Express tour and the Iceland Explorer tour. Both trips were great! I loved having a bus to navigate me to all the best spots and a knowledgeable tour guide to provide us with fascinating information. I enjoyed all the people I met on the tours. Both tours were very memorable.

Fantastic taster of scandinavia and the Christmas markets were a big plus! My only suggestion would be to spend an extra day in Stockholm as one day was not enough.
