Baltic Impressions

Jonathan T Stewart
Dear Bobby,
I just returned from the 10-day “Baltic Impressions Tour”, more than 1200 miles across three countries. It was a fantastic trip! The bus was comfortable, with adequate stops for pictures, food and restroom breaks. The local guides in each city - Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius - were knowledgable and friendly. Our 10-day tour guide, Janis, was great! He gave all explanations for the 9 English and 12 German participants easily in both languages. Everyone commented how the timing of the trip was “just right” - we didn’t feel rushed at any location, and we didn’t feel like tapping our fingers to ‘move on.’ Leaving at 9am each day allowed time for wonderful breakfast - or a little extra sleep! And we were blessed with great weather. If I could change anything about the trip, it would be an additional day in Riga! Thank you again for your attention to all the details and communications prior to departure. I will definitely be touring through Nordic Saga Tours again next summer!

Additional comment: It is only a 10 minute, 7Euro taxi ride from the airport in Tallinn to the Radisson Blu hotel. The Tallinn airport is new, small and easy to navigate. Taxis are plentiful and very safe; paying for the transfers is not necessary. ~~Dr Sherri Tenpenny, Cleveland, Ohio

Grand Tour of Iceland

Nori Hudson 14 September 2016
Hi Dora:

I wanted to let you know I had a very good time on this tour. The connection on 9/28 worked, although I was a bit tired from the WOWAir flight. The guide, Bjorn Erik Westergren, was a fountain of information, sharing his passion and research for his adopted country. The scenery was so beautiful, I only wished we had had more time in each place.

As for the food, my needs were met in all ways at dinner thanks to Erik calling ahead each day to the place we were staying. Breakfasts varied in being adequate but I brought some protein powder and did fine. Only two lunches were problematic due to the lack of anything gluten free and substantial (with protein). I also brought snacks when we ended up eating later than usual.

So, many thanks for arranging my trip and working with me to rescue my vacation to iceland with a great alternative.

Grand Tour of Iceland

Jane WIlliams 09 September 2016
Hi Bobby:
I am writing to thank you for arranging a wonderful trip for myself and my two 15 year-old grandchildren to Iceland from August 19 through the 26th, 2016.

We all really loved the experience of seeing the landscape and wildness of the country and meeting so many kind and caring people. Soaking in the Blue Lagoon on arrival after an overnight flight from the USA was absolutely perfect. And we discovered when we arrived later that day in Reykjavik that it was "Culture Day" with bands and entertainers and revilers filling the streets. What fun!

The highlights for the grandchildren were the trip to the Westman Islands (my granddaughter said, "I'd like to live here"), the many hikes and hill climbings they did, and of course, their 1.5 hr. glacier walk (in 60 mi/hr winds I might add). They loved it.

Our group was small - just 6 of us - and we all got along extremely well, despite the huge age differences. Our guide, Hermann Valsson, hermann.valsson@gmail.com, 354-854-5265 is a professional guide and was extremely knowledgeable about every facet of Icelandic life. The entire week was a history, geography, philosophy lesson that the children and I enjoyed immensely. We peppered him with questions which he never tired of answering. He was particularly sensitive to the children's needs and kept them engaged. I believe he is an independent contractor and works for the Jonasson group. I am copying him here so perhaps you two can communicate.

Hermann, thank you again for all your kindnesses. I have talked to a number of my friends about your outstanding talent for making our week very special. You have a true gift and I hope you continue to introduce your wonderful country to us outsiders!

Best regards,
Jane Williams

Trustpilot reviews

We recently returned from a 12 day private tour of Iceland, couldn't be any happier with Dora Rozet at Nordic Saga and with our guide (now friend), Kári Haraldsson. We travel a lot but have very rarely used a travel agent. This was going to be a more complicated trip, though, as my wife has difficulty walking and we really wanted something more in-depth than the big tour or cruise companies could offer. I researched a lot of travel agencies that specialize in Iceland and Scandanavia, had in-depth discussions with the four front runners. Nordic Saga was an excellent choice. After discussing what we wanted to see, date options and especially my wife's limitations, she put together the perfect itinerary. I don't think any tour could have given us a more in-depth and satisfying Iceland experience. I was thrilled with Nordic Saga's professionalism and reliability and with Dora's skill and responsiveness. We're especially thrilled to have been able to work with Kári, I can't imagine a better tour guide. His warmth and friendliness, his genuine drive to customize our experience to our liking, his flawless accommodation of my wife's limitations and his comprehensive knowledge of Iceland was far beyond anything that we expected. I would recommend Nordic Saga without reservation for anyone planning a northern European trip, and would give Kári my highest recommendation for anyone interested in a more personalized Iceland experience.
