The package you provided was made with professionalism and experience. The attention to the details was amazing.
The hotels were sound quality in the best possible locations. We didn't have any problems with anything at all. All the information provided was superb. And we were blessed with the weather. I would recommend your company to all my friends if any of them would be interested in visiting Denmark or any other Scandinavian country.
Claudia Morosa, Canada
The tour was very neatly organized without major delays or other drawbacks. We visited Copenhagen, Helsinki, Oslo, Bergen, Stockholm, and a few other places. All cities were just beautiful but my heart was captured by the amazing nature. I was stunned by the majestic fjords, forests, and valleys. All this trip was a feast for the eyes. I will definitely return to Scandinavia to explore more of its unbelievable natural wonders. It was a fantastic holiday. Highly recommended.
Olga Katalan
Copenhagen made quite an impression on us. This city is so beautiful and relaxing. Stockholm is majestic.
All accommodations were of high standard. We especially liked the Radisson BLU Plaza Hotel. The service there was superb.
We will plan more trips with your company as all the service we received from you was 5 star.
Walter T, Iowa
We just got back from our 14 day excursion of Scandinavia through this tour company, and cannot stop thinking about it! We visited Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki , Copenhagen and enjoyed the majestic Fjords in Bergen . The hotels everywhere were excellent. The scenery everywhere is beautiful and the people are extremely helpful and their English is great.
I would highly recommend this tour company, if you are even considering traveling to Scandinavia. You will not regret taking this trip .
Taras Prypka and friends
I wanted to reach out and thank you for all of the hard work that went into planning this Scandinavian tour for me and my wife. You were by our side throughout the entire process and we can’t thank you enough for how smooth the whole trip was. From Oslo to Bergen to Stockholm and then to St. Petersburg, wow - what a journey. We spent a marvelous two weeks with your company and with the nicest group of people and wouldn’t have changed a thing. Our guide was spectacular. Always on top of things, very helpful and friendly… Hotels were great, weather was nice, I really can’t complain. We have so many photos that we’ve been sharing with friends and family and we hope to put together a nice album soon. Thanks again, this trip to Scandinavia and Russia is definitely high up on our “Favorite Vacations” list!

Writing from our home in Texas to let you know how much we enjoyed our tour of Scandinavia. We felt that every aspect of our contact with you was extremely professional. We were very pleased we chose to book through Nordic Saga Tours. There were no complications, errors, or annoyances. We had a marvelous time in Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki, and everywhere in between. Really loved every moment of our travels in each new city and going to sleep each night in a new hotel was really exciting. We were especially impressed by the friendliness of our tour guide, Carina. Her English was great and she had the cutest accent. Locals in each country were welcoming to us and most really loved our Southern drawls! I’d have no problem recommending your company to others hoping to travel Scandinavia. Thanks again.
Freida and Anthony Wolff
We had a very memorable trip to Scandinavia this past June, thanks to the great planning by you and the Nordic Saga Tours team. You were highly professional and very friendly. Other than the relatively short notice we had before our tour started, all the bookings were done efficiently. The hotel selection at each destination was nice. It is interesting to note that hotels in the Scandinavian countries were quite basic even by European standards. They were always reachable 24/7 and that gave us a sense of security (though it was never needed). Thank you for making it so much easier to travel to Scandinavia. We wish you all the best.
