We really enjoyed our trip to Scandinavia with your company. Nordic Saga Tours is very professional and we really felt like we were in good hands the entire time. The tours in each city went according to plan and other than the long delay in Oslo, all of the lunches were well thought out and timed well according to each activity every day. Our favorite stops were probably in Stockholm and Balestrand. The fjords in Scandinavia are way too beautiful! We took endless photos… They’re something everyone should get a chance to see in their lifetime! We don’t have any complaints about the hotels, other than maybe the staff at the Union Hotel… Nothing major, they just didn’t seem as friendly as the staff in other hotels. Overall, we had a great time, Alex. Thank you again. I’d have no problem recommending Nordic Saga Tours to anyone hoping to travel Scandinavia. :)
