Highlights

Helsinki: Your Local Expert will show you the sights of the harbour city. Wander through the aromatic stalls of a traditional food market and sample local produce like liquorice or smoked reindeer before enjoying free time to explore the harbour of this fascinating city of design.

Stockholm: Visit Stockholm City Hall, completed in the early 20th century in National Romantic style. You’ll step into the brick-built Blue Hall, site of the Nobel Banquet, then continue to the Golden Hall, where mosaics made from glass and gold leaf depict episodes from Swedish history and mythology.

Stockholm (Solna): Explore Stockholm with your Local Expert, moving from Gamla Stan, where many streets and buildings date from the 13th–17th centuries, to later civic and waterfront districts. You’ll see Stockholm Cathedral and view a capital planned across 14 islands, established as Sweden’s political centre from the 17th century.

Oslo: Explore Oslo with your Local Expert, viewing the 19th-century Royal Palace and the medieval Akershus fortress that guarded the harbour. Continue through the city centre to see Karl Johans gate and the Stortinget Parliament building before reaching the Opera House and Bjørvika waterfront, where former docklands have been redeveloped into a cultural district.

Oslo: Visit Frogner Park to see Gustav Vigeland’s permanent sculpture installation, with more than 200 bronze and granite works arranged along bridges, terraces and the Monolith plateau.

Copenhagen: With a Local Expert, witness the regal interior of Christiansborg Palace, with its stunning tapestries, furnishings and decor.

Copenhagen: Join your Local Expert to understand the city through its key sites, from the Little Mermaid statue on the harbourfront to Christiansborg Palace, seat of the Danish parliament. You’ll view Rosenborg Castle, Amalienborg Palace and walk the 17th-century Nyhavn waterfront 

Copenhagen: Visit Tivoli Gardens, opened in 1843 as a public pleasure garden beside Copenhagen’s central station. Walk the landscaped paths between pavilions, theatres and restaurants and see historic rides, including one of the world’s oldest wooden roller coasters, still operating with a brakeman on board.

The knowledge and viewing of Scandinavia and Nordic capitols was amazing. Although very concentrated over 10 days we were able to see the importance of each country. Tour director and driver were outstanding. P

This was a very well-organized and memorable tour with a wonderful On-Road Team, beautiful scenery, good weather overall, and a great group of fellow travelers. Helpful things to know before this tour: be prepared to pack an overnight bag for the overnight cruise between Helsinki and Stockholm (it helps with easier movement and the more compact cruise cabins), and bring charging cords for devices on the longer coach rides, as the buses have charging outlets. The rotating seat assignments were also a nice feature, allowing opportunities to meet different fellow travelers and enjoy varied viewpoints during the drives. The movies shown during the longer transit days were enjoyable and helped make the travel time more relaxing. The WhatsApp group set up before the trip made it possible to contact the Travel Director directly when a flight delay and tight connection led to a missed flight the day before the tour started. He quickly coordinated a later pickup time for the prepaid airport transfer after the flight was rebooked. The Insight tour driver was also excellent at navigating narrow city streets shared with heavy bicycle traffic. Overall, the tour was well organized, with comfortable Scandinavian-style hotels, a full but well-balanced itinerary, and plenty of memorable experiences. The group was punctual and easy to travel with, and the recap video shared by the Tour Director at the end was a nice way to reflect on the journey.

This is the first time I was on a tour group trip like this. I thought I would hate it, but I loved every minute of it. I didn’t feel rushed at all, and I felt like I saw as much as I could possibly I’ve seen in those few days.
