Sweden Tours and Trips

I had the trip of a lifetime and it was an amazing experience for me. I had not been on a major holiday in many years and it was more than I expected. Our tour director was absolutely amazing and was so knowledgeable about everything. She catered to our group and looked after us from morning till night. She made it. Try enjoyable for myself. The itinerary was fantastic and I actually would do this trip again. But I am looking at doing Switzerland on the trains next. I enjoyed having my own room as the days were very busy so it was nice to relax at the end of the day

It covers a lot of ground, but was exactly what I had hoped. So many beautiful places! Our driver was excellent on the many challenging roads, and our tour director was very experienced, and could speak the languages of all three countries. Our entire group was pleasant and easy to travel with. All in all, an incredible tour!

From the start, we were greeted warmly and our safety and comfort was cared about throughout. The tour included breath taking scenes of nature, multiple waterfalls, and historic cultural excursions. We loved the various modes of transport in addition to the air conditioned coach, ferries, river cruises, trams and trains. The accommodations and food services were good value for our money spent.

our tour director and our driver provided us with excellent service and great driving. We enjoyed thw service as well as the natural scenes. Thank you for your kindness and taking care of our trip. We were extremely pleased with your investigative abilities in solving the problem of the lost bag for an unknown fellow traveller. Because of your perseverance and dedication, you saved a fellow traveller from being miserable when he found his important travel documents. Thank you for caring to take the time to return the precious documents to the rightful owner. As travelers ourselves, we can only imagine the angst of losing our documents, only to have a kind soul who took the time to return them to you because of the kindness of another human being.

The 2 weeks in this trip was a whirlwind. Most days staying 1 night. Lots of time on the bus. Late nights and early mornings. Definitely get more done than you would ever get done on your own. Our tour guide was amazing though. Filled the time with history of the people, government, wars etc. Showed videos, maps and music with us. The time flew by. We had our 7 yo with us and the driver and guide were amazing, and nice and patient. Our driver was amazing, door to door service, even if the door was backing the coach into some tight spaces over 100 ft. Bus was always clean, vacuumed, windows cleaned after every day. Never knew when he gassed up. So our late nights and early days were even later and earlier for the driver. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable about all the areas, helped find food, and things to do everywhere we went. Not to mention how thoughtful he was about my Gluten dietary needs. I think we could have done a better job researching the extras and what they entailed. But it is really hard to know, based on the itinerary how long you will be at places, even if it said “about an hour” or bus drive is about 8 hours today. We could have skipped a couple extras to give our selves a little extra free time. Some days it felt the little free time we had was just spent in a restaurant. Having a list of hotel amenities ahead of time such as laundry(self-serve or full service), pool, gym would be helpful. That took a lot of research and emailing businesses. daily sheets showing what we were doing and times was amazing. He told us so much information that it was overwhelming to remember. So the sheets he sent over what’s app was very thoughtful. I didn’t know that Trafalgar could also help with adding on extra nights places or help with travel insurance. The detailed stuff I paid for didn’t quite break everything down. For example I forgot I prepaid tips, but it just showed the price of the trip per person was higher, so months later I had to ask why i had been charged more. just would have saved time to list it out the details. Hard to call this a 14 day trip when day 1 is a dinner and meet and greet and day 14 is a shuttle to the airport.. Overall great trip, highly recommend. The stops and things to do are well thought out and amazing. We did all the optionals, and no regrets.

Geirangerfjord & the Spectacular Flam Railway--.breathtaking. Wish I researched the train ride--I was on the wrong side of the scenery as the train passed thru the mountains & valleys. Also the Trollstigen drive was an incredible experience. What a vista! Worth the price of the excursion. All of the fjord experiences were spectacular. Amazing vistas! Excursion: Norwegian Maritime Explorers: I didn't find the time at the Kon Tiki museum worthwhile. I would have preferred more time at Fram Museum--I had more interest in the Arctic & Antarctic expeditions. LOVED the simulated film where we were on a seaplane landing on the ice. I can't say enough about the wonders of the Vigeland Sculpture Park. We definitely didn't spend enough time to go around all of the sculptures. This sculpture garden was like no other--we needed more time! Our guide rushed us through it & she was not my favorite local tour guide on our Trafalgar tour. Enjoyed Lillehammer & the open air museum, of Maihaugen more than I expected. The guide in period costume was engaging, & had us participate as if we were living in the time period. Wish we could have spent more time there learning about the history. Very cool museum. Enjoyed the fjordland farm cultural experience. Interesting to learn about the hierarchy of who inherits the farm of the siblings. Also surprised to learn of their high-level of education--having other day jobs besides the farm. Incredible that they could run a farm & work elsewhere as well.
