Denmark Tours and Trips for Seniors

The trip was both enjoyable and educational. I learned a lot about both countries. The Salmon Institute and their museum and scientific station in Norway was extremely interesting and unique. They had made a step,system by tunnel through rocks. You could actually get right next to the stairs and see the fish. The also had observational windows where you could see inside a stair area and the fish. The car tunnels in Norway were so advanced (traffic circles, on/off ramps). The scenery along the route and the fjords was beautiful. I have visited family in Denmark before so it wasn’t a totally new experience in Denmark but there were enough different options that I could visit places I hadn’t seen before like St Knut Cathedral in Odense. The palace north of Copenhagen was breath taking. The tour guide provided by insight made the palace experience 200% better. The pace was just right. Not rushed like some other tours I been on with other companies.

The only disapointment was the group meal in Bergen. This may have been outwith Insights control. The Guides were all v good, learnt abd saw so much. The tour Directer Peter was excellent. The tour driver was v good and we enjoyed the company of the other guests. All were on time and considerate of others.

Based on reports from other group members, the optional day tour to Zeeland from Copenhagen was not worthwhile. Instead, we would recommend the Rosenberg Castle, which we visited on our own. In general, we thought the itinerary had a nice blend of city and country places of interest. Some hotel rooms were quite small when trying to manage large cases, but we understood that choices in more remote areas are limited. We were impressed by our tour leader Danny Steenkamp, who maintained a composed and energetic demeanor for the whole tour, along with our bus driver. We would recommend this tour to others.

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!

It would be good to have a map showing our route and location as we travel around. First night meeting fellow travelers would be nice to have name tags and country of origin.
