Testimonials

Overall very good, was disappointed the optional diners were not well attended by my tour and the food served at the Tallinn optional dinner was not authentic; lighting was not dim as expected for a midieval atmosphere and price was Euro 40 too expensive for what we received. Only 3 people from a tour of 19 participated. Time spent in Vilnius was too short; an AM walking tour and 2 hours free time – more time like a half day free time should be for a capital of Lithuania. – Robert Mazurkivich -

Almost everything went very well. We especially liked the Artis Hotel in Vilnius and the Hotel National in Klaipeda. Many of the other hotels were nice, but quite modern and lacked charm. Our driver (Aurimas) was wonderful. Even though he had never made a similar extended trip, he was great. Amber Tours also rented a new comfortable 8-passenger van for the trip. Our only problem came on Day 12 in Tallinnn when he was instructed to start his return trip to Vilnius by noon. Fortunately, our local guide was able to arrange for transportation to get us back to our hotel after completing our excursion to Kadriorg Park. Most of the local guides were outstanding.

I just returned from a 16 day Scandinavian trip which I booked through Nordic Saga. My agent Bobby from Nordic Saga planned my group trip and I want to commend him on a fantastic, incredible, and unbelievable job he did. It was my first time leading a group of 35 and during the planning stages Bobby kept assuring me that I had nothing to worry about. He was correct. Everything went smoothly, the hotels were gorgeous and restaurant’s breakfasts were delicious and impressive. The buses for excursions were first class and always prompt. Our tour guides were fabulous. Bobby went above and beyond with the difficult last minute task of changing our flights to leave 2 days earlier due to Hurricane Dorian.

Hello dear Bobby,

In a word, PERFECT! As you know, you worked and put together an extensive 4/5 country tour package for Vicki and I and what you managed to put together went remarkably well in every way possible. With very little exception, this trip now ranks as the best of our many trips, which considering the now 67 countries on all 7 continents around the globe we visited, is a big statement.

I only have a few feedback suggestions and a request:

1)      Be more specific with US based guest re the hotel standards, e.g., a standard room in the US is a superior room in Europe.

Hi Bobby; Thank you for all the effort you put in to making our Scandinavian vacation a complete success. The hotels were perfect. Great, central locations next to all the action, train stations and or depots. More importantly, all of our shuttles, ferries, cab service and air line connections could not have worked out better. This level of detail made our vacation easy and seamless; eliminating the worry of finding a cab that can fit all of the luggage, having the proper currency, explaining hotel directions, etc., everything was pre-paid and taken care for us ahead of time. This really made our trip enjoyable. Thank you again, Bill & Karen – William M Wibbenhorst -

Bobby, I just wanted to take a minute to thank you so very much for your planning for our trip. It was absolutely fantastic!!!!! The hotel, was wonderful (and you were right, of course, the walk from our hotel to the pick-up site was just a short walk). An unexpected surprise was their buffet dinner, which was welcomed after wonderful days out at Camp Tamok. Everyone we came into contact with, car driver for airport pick-up, hotel staff and most especially the wonderful people at the Camp helped to make this a very special trip. We did get to see the Northern Lights on our first night (on the boat where the captain and his staff were a wonderful introduction to the Norwegian people)! Again, thank you so much.
