Denmark Culture Trips

The Insight Grand Scandinavia tour takes you to places that you wouldn't think of booking by yourself. Our Tour Director and Driver were brilliant! The specialist tour guides were informative and proud to show their cities to us. Communication throughout the tour was informative and relevant. Food and hotels were excellent. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the real Scandinavian Adventure.

We were very fortunate to have an excellent tour director and bus driver to get us to and show us the sights of Grand Scandinavia! This trip does have a number of bus days, however, to travel through these four countries and soak up the sights, it’s worth it!

This trip was a highlight of my life. I had an amazing time seeing all the beautiful sites and a lot of fun with all the people that we met on the trip.

The holidays in the countries can cause problems finding open restaurants for lunch and dinner. We had to stop and eat in gas stations because those were the only open places. There is too little time spend in Sweden. Several of the excursions were not available and the shops were closed because "it's the off season". Why isn't that noted on the website? The times when the bags have to be put out in the hall, when breakfast is served, and when the bus leaves are tight on the weekends and holidays. I didn't go to North Cape because the trip was from 9pm to midnight and covered the same roads as the boat tour of bird islands. I hate "seat rotation" and many on my tour refused to sit in their assigned seats. It is difficult getting downstairs in the morning in the high-rise hotels with 10+ floors as the elevators have been given over to baggage moving. Those folks on the higher floors have to wait for a long time to get an elevator up to their floor, while those on the lower floors often find the elevators completely full when it stops at their floor. The itinerary is too vague. When does the free time start & end? Where do we meet the bus if we want to go to lunch near the museum instead of downtown? Do the excursions overlap so you can't do more than one? How far is the museum from the hotel? When can we check into the hotel? Why are we scheduled to eat dinner at 2030?

The itinerary covered the main attractions and was varied. The optional extras were good while some were better than others. Would have been good to see more inclusions in the main itinerary. I have previously travelled with Insight and this trip had less inclusions and more optional activity unlike previous trips.

10/10 – Scandinavia was amazing from start to finish. Denmark was the perfect place to begin with its history, cycling culture, incredible pastries and Tivoli Gardens, Norway was absolutely unreal with the most breathtaking fairytale-like scenery imaginable, and Sweden was peaceful, beautiful and charming in its own way. Everything from the accommodation and transport to the activities exceeded expectations, and the perfect mix of culture, history, cities and nature made it one of the most memorable trips I’ve ever taken. I only wish I had more time to explore the Norwegian fjords and mountains because there is still so much to see. But I will be back!
