Norway Tours and Trips

It covers all the major cities and towns and gives a great overall picture of the 4 countries as well as travelling through the countryside to cover a great distance in the allotted time. We visited Santa, met his reindeers, viewed huskies being trained, went as far north as possible on the mainland and saw amazing scenery. We can thoroughly recommend this trip.

Insight Vacations has included a tour itinerary to give travelers a great overview of Scandanavia. From larger cities to small villages you get a cultural experience of the area. This tour is a wonderful way to get an overall view of beautiful scenery, flora and fauna of the area and a feel for life in remote artic regions. I highly recommend this tour.

Although the pace was rather quick, with overnight stays the norm, the trip itself covered a lot of ground and gave the travelers a great look at life in Scandinavia. Since this trip was in early May, we had the opportunity to experience both winter and spring. The longer daylight gave us plenty of time to explore the cities although the hotels could improve on their blackout curtains for those who are sensitive to light when sleeping. The tour director and coach driver were excellent and made the trip a joy.

Norway is undoubtedly a beautiful country with scenery ranging from lush green valleys to fjords and on the alps, frozen lakes and snowy peaks. Our tour guide Jenn Payne was the best tour guide I have ever had the pleasure of travelling with. A country with only 5.2 million inhabitants gives its capital city, Oslo, the history, harbour and lifestyle of a capital city without the traffic and noise. A fabulous few days with endless memories.

I loved my tour however there was a lot of time driving and little time in the major cities. I would have liked at least two full days in Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki and Oslo. The cultural dinners were less than inspiring and very expensive, not value for money. I think a number of the optional events could and should be incorporated in the tour cost. Positives if the tour, great tour director, great driver, comfortable and clean coach, wonderful sights. Hotel rooms a little small directing share with two large bags, very little space to open bags.

Itinerary was excellent, but time in cities was a little rushed. Maybe skip Copenhagen and the travel from Copenhagen to Stockholm, and start the tour in Stockholm? Travel between Copenhagen and Stockholm was the least interesting part of the tour, though still worth it if there is time.
