Violet and David H 5 September 2018
We have just got home from the trip to the Scandinavian Capitals. It was so interesting that we would like to do it again without hesitation. We did a lot of walking which requires good health and good shoes! This was not a laid back relaxing trip as we had to see so much.
Our guide did a great job. All of the travel plans were very well organized and went on time. We especially like Bergen fjords and Vasa museum in Stockolm but other sites were marvelous as well.
The accommodations were of good standard and a variety of food was offered. There was always something for every taste.
We traveled in the middle of summer, so the weather was perfect.
We met a few nice people who were wonderful travel companions. What a great trip!!!
Do not hesitate to go if you ever have the opportunity and book this trip with Nordic Saga Tours as they are the best in organizing such adventures.
