Susie was wonderful to work with and arranged a wonderful family trip for my group. I will certainly call you the next time
Phillipe Vischi 29 May 2018
Dear Dora, many thanks for arranging this unbelievable tour for us. It was not possible to see and experience more. All events, hotels, transfers were arranged on time and efficiently. Guides in all the cities were great - so accommodating and knowledgeable. My wife had a minor health issue which was very attentively handled by the guide Gunilla and I would like to thank her once again. All in all we were very satisfied with the tour and the service we received from you and your Scandinavian partners. We are planning a new trip already and will book it with you for sure.
Sara Gollini, Italy 19 December 2017
It was the most spectacular trip of my life and I just want to say thank you so much for helping me to go for this tour. This tour exceeded my expectations. It was just incredible every day.
I saw so many wonderful landscapes and learned so much about natural phenomena and history. The photographic opportunities were just amazing. The accommodations everywhere generally exceeded my expectations. Always comfortable and clean. I highly loved the fjords and glaciers and thanked God for the opportunity to experience all this.Thank you for the well-organized tour and I will definitely book another tour with you.
Elena Pivovarov 19 December 2017
"A wonderful, comprehensive tour of Scandinavian Capitals and Swedish countryside. The tours were more than we expected. Well organized and perfect timing for everything. Nordic Saga helped in all details. Thank you, Dora and colleagues.
Marina Hanesworth 15 December 2017
We booked this tour because we wanted to see as much as possible in just a few days and didn’t have time to research everything ourselves. Nordic Saga took care of all the planning, and we’re so glad we chose them! The itinerary was efficient and well-organized. The bus was comfortable, warm, and even had free Wi-Fi. Our guide was excellent—knowledgeable and engaging—and the driver was friendly and professional.
Annita Bother 7 December 2017
Our trip to Scandinavia was just awesome. We couldn't wish to see more. All 13 days passed as just 3 or 4. So much to see and experience. We loved the beautiful palaces in Copenhagen, word class museums in Stockholm and fantastic natural scenery of Norway. Fjords can only be compared to the beauty of New Zealand which we visited last year. The itinerary was well designed and ran smooth. The guides were just excellent. Not all hotels we stayed at were of the same standard but you cannot expect everything to be 100% from your imagination. Real life is a little different. All in all the trip was the best of all we recently had and we are serious travelers...Thanks, Dora, for suggesting this trip to us and all the arrangements you made for us. We'll keep in touch for the future trips.
Christine Rodgers 5 September 2014
Good morning Dora!
I hope all is well with you. I wanted to get in touch to let you know that my trip to Scandinavia last month was spectacular! You really went above and beyond for me and my husband and I can tell you love what you do. I've already given your name to a few friends hoping to travel in the fall, so hopefully you'll be hearing from them soon. :) Anyway, this tour was beautiful and such a special experience. We have so many great photos to look back on and whenever we do, we smile. I hope to bring my kids there someday. So, thanks again for making this tour so much fun.
Eleanor Corby 23 July 2014
