Denmark Tours in August 2026

Good coverage but travel director made the difference in bringing additional information to travellers , keeping us well engaged through out the trip. Restaurants well appointed and recommendations that enabled us to sample local cuisine

Five countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Estonia) claim to be the happiest place in the world. On this trip, you will discover that each country has legitimate claims to that title. You get to examine those claims in detail by consuming great food, staying at superior hotels, overnight cruising in a modern floating hotel of a ship, and getting a taste of each country’s history and culture - all under the careful guidance of expert local guides and a Tour Director who stays with you all the way, making sure that everything goes as planned. A prefect, care-free way to experience Scandinavia.

My 18 year old son and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on our Capitals of Scandinavia tour we went on earlier this month. We ended up going on all of the extra tours that Trafalgar suggested and they were well worth the money. The pace of the trip (staying 2 nights in each city) was perfect for both our ages (18 and 58). The Scandinavian countries are beautiful and clean, and the Nordic people are happy and kind. Not only do I recommend this tour whole-heartedly, but I would go on it again in the near future. My son was celebrating his graduation from high school and I was celebrating my 58th birthday and were so swept up in the moment, that we even got matching tattoos in Stockholm.

I enjoyed the places we saw in Sweden very much. I wish we had been able to see a little more of Denmark. Copenhagen was great but that’s really all we saw. Norway was the highlight of all for me. The absolute beauty of the fjords, the country side as we traveled and the cities. The Flam railroad trip was one of my favorites. Also the Geiranger Fjord boat ride was another highlight. Cesar our guide had great information about each place we traveled. He kept us all organized and everything stayed right on time! We had a large group of 43 people so not an easy task. The Iceland extension was good too but not quite as organized without a designated tour guide. The local guide was good and she showed us sights in Reykjavik. The waterfall and geyser on the mini circle tour were incredible!

The tour was great, and I'm very happy that we selected it. Stockholm was very good as were most all of the cities. We flew in to Stockholm early and had 1.5 days extra to acclimate and explore the city, and I very glad we did. As part of the tour we (as well as everyone else on the tour) selected the Vasa Museum which was incredible and a must see. Prior to the trip start we walked extensively through the city and ended up at the Abba Museum. I'm not a huge fan and in fact only could tell you one song name, but this museum is really good. The collection is incredible, and the people of Sweden came through with an amazing assortment of things, such as the two vehicles that the band used on their first US tour. Just a couple of of beaters, but they save them! We also spent 5 hours at the Centralbadet, which is the Art Nuveau public bathhouse. The building is beautiful, and for the price of admission you get three hours inside the baths. If you get a spa treatment you get an extra hour, and we booked massages. We are regular massage goers, but their Swedish massage left me more relaxed than any prior massage. We also had lunch there, and had a delicious cold avocado soup, and if you eat there you get another hour added to your time there. Our tour director, Kees, was really good, and went out of his way to make the trip memorable and fun. Having said that, we did have one person (who was a solo traveler) on the trip experience a mental issue and Kees handled the situation beautifully, balancing the person's privacy with keeping the group informed. Thankfully, we had three others on the trip with bonified mental health credentials that jumped in to help. The person did make a recovery and one of their children flew out to get them diagnosed, and back home. HIs professionalism was extemporarily, and it was impressive. The pace of the trip was well considered, the stops were good, local guides excellent (as we've found with Collette). Norway was the hands down winner as far as scenery, the hotels and activities go. We also did the Iceland add on, and it was excellent, as was our tour manager. Beautiful country, great people. This was our second Collette tour (we did Japan and Korea in 2024, 5+ stars - DO THAT TRIP!!!) and we've talken tours with Tauck as well. Collette is doing very well when compared to Tauck, which is considerably more money. We'll likely continue to travel with both, but we really have enjoyed the Collette tours.

hotel locations were good except for Oslo. daily itinerary with approximate time stoppages during excursions and coach travel would have been helpful. for the 3 special reserved restaurant seatings; a couple should be sitting together especially on their wedding anniversary.
