Dear Bobby, Sending many, many thanks to you for helping us book this Scandinavian tour. Whew! We were definitely exhausted by the end of it, but it was all worth it. I actually had to find better shoes during our free time in Oslo because of all the walking. Not your fault by any means, I just should have packed better. I got a nasty blister after the first couple of days, but I was able to find some new tennies and was good to go after that. The fjords were gorgeous and I have so many photos, I think I went a bit overboard! The food for me was hard to adjust to at first (very salty) but most of the time it was delicious. Our hotels were always clean and centrally located. The locals in each place were very welcoming, too. Thanks again for helping us plan such a nice trip to Scandinavia, Bobby.

Dear Susie,
We have spent 11 beautiful days on our Scandinavian tour and wanted to reach out and say thanks. We couldn't have planned such a fun trip without your guidance. I've always wanted to see Copenhagen, so that was the highlight of the trip for me! I absolutely adore the biking scene there... I'd move there in a heartbeat just for that! Riding the Flam Railway was another highlight. So gorgeous. The Union Hotel in Geiranger was the best hotel, by far. Holy cow! I'd say our least favorite hotel was the Radisson BLU Plaza in Oslo. Our room was a bit outdated and I found a few stains here and there... Not a huge deal, but I think the hotel just needs some updating. The breakfasts at all hotels were fine, we felt satisfied each morning before heading out on tours. The tours each day were great, we saw so much. Loved the fjords and scenery in each country. Overall, a really nice trip to Scandinavia. Thanks again for your help, Susie.

Hi Dora,
It’s Wendy, writing to you from my home office. I wanted to send a quick note about the tour to Scandinavia and Russia back in July. There were many highlights along the way of course, but my personal favorite spot was probably Balestrand. Exploring the fjords and that town on our own was relaxing and perfect for us. The cruise to Helsinki was beautiful, but unfortunately, Rick was terribly ill and spent most of the night in the lavatory. I don’t know if it was food related or perhaps a bit of motion sickness, but I felt just so awful for him. I spoke to one of the workers onboard but there wasn’t much he could do to help, either. We brought Rick fresh water and crackers and I tried to stay near him as much as I could. He did eventually fall asleep, but wasn’t feeling too hot the next day. The train ride was also rough for him but he was able to nap part of the way… Once we got to the hotel in St. Petersburg, I think he slept 12 hours. He missed out on some things, but at least it was nothing too serious and he was able to rest once we got to the hotel. Our guide, Celia, was very sweet and tried her best to make sure he was always comfortable. She was constantly checking up on him. Other than that bout of sickness, everything was great. Thanks again for your help, I’d have no problem recommending you for anyone hoping to travel to Scandinavia.
Best,
Wendy and Rick Gervine
