The trip itself provides a wonderful opportunity to connect with the landscape and the people. We also were able to make new friends with fellow travellers. The bike paths are in excellent condition making for smooth riding.
This trip was amazing but there were a couple of minor changes I would make. In Norway, it would have been nice (time / money permitting) to have seen more of the natural aspects of the country beyond the capital city. I would’ve liked to spend more time in Poland, a simple dinner was not enough time. I understand to keep the trip short and affordable it is hard to make changes to include everything so I will conclude by saying the inclusion of Amsterdam and Berlin alongside Scandinavia was a selling point for me. A review of hostel choices would also improve the trip: whilst some were fantastic (eg. Generator, forest hostel) some were a bit uncomfortable (eg. The hotels, some A&O)
First time traveller with Expat and I can't praise them highly enough. You get terrific value for money, the accommodations were mostly excellent (except one had no hot water). Tour leader and driver were outstanding. Days were long but we saw so much more than anticipated. Will use them again.
