Although the pace was rather quick, with overnight stays the norm, the trip itself covered a lot of ground and gave the travelers a great look at life in Scandinavia.
Since this trip was in early May, we had the opportunity to experience both winter and spring. The longer daylight gave us plenty of time to explore the cities although the hotels could improve on their blackout curtains for those who are sensitive to light when sleeping. The tour director and coach driver were excellent and made the trip a joy.

The booking porocess was easy, and customer service was responsive. I contacted 4 companies about the tour I was interested in. Two of the companies I contacted didn't answer me at all. One of them was basically a chatbot that said "do it yourself." Only bookmundi had human agents to help.

It was a terrific tour but it was busy. My only regret is that we did not spend enough time in Sweden especially Stockholm.

1. Needed more time in Stockholm, Sweden, at least another day. Why the rush through? 2. Needed contact with the Sami people. 3. Needed a half day trip in the Geiranger fjord, not an hour. 4. Needed to go to Bergen for a day. 5. The Finnish dinner should have been Finnish, NOT Russian at a Russian Restaurant.
