Sweden Tours in Summer

Great tour with a small group to see parts of Denmark and Sweden that you would normally not see when traveling on a big tour. Accommodation was excellent and it was also great to spend time in small towns and to stay somewhere other than big hotels

This was my first trip with Explore and it’s definitely whetted my appetite for more! A wonderful experience and so relaxing to take so many train and boat trips across the eight days without having any stress about tickets, connections, itineraries, etc etc. The leader was excellent and she held everything together completely calmly and knowledgeably.

The places visited we very interesting and generally off the usual tourist route. The accommodation was very good and some were quirky. My only reservation is the European tendency to have the shower over a bath. This is potentially dangerous for elderly people.

The first part of this trip (in Norway) is excellent but the second part with just one day/night in Denmark and two in Sweden seems rather rushed for all of the traveling involved. Unfortunately we also suffered from a couple of 2/3 hour train delays which meant not getting back to the hotel until 10.00/11.30pm on two separate days. Spectacular scenery in Norway, friendly people and good food everywhere. Our tour leader Maria was exceptional - great local knowledge and lots of suggestions for meals and destinations for free time visits.

Another excellent trip with Explore. I’ve travelled with other companies but keep returning to Explore as their ‘formula’ suits me best: interesting places, small groups of like-minded people often travelling alone and excellent value.

A very enjoyable trip, good mix of city and country walking. Walks were already to moderate, only 1 involved a bit of scrambling. Our guide, Toni, made the trip with his knowledge of the countries, their history and culture. Should have booked an extra day in Stockholm as so much to see. Also a bit more time in Torku would have been good. a All stops were well selected.
