4 Day - Northern Lights, Snæfellsnes & Glacier Lagoon

The staff was super professional, helpful and funny too. The trip to the ice cave was quite challenging for two of our group, as we had to walk approx. 3km to the cave through rough terrain from the parking lot. We needed longer than planned, so we missed the amphibian boat tour through the lagoon.

From Copenhagen to Helsinki

Very good experience, traveling with groups

• In-depth Cultural

Absolute North

We did see a LOT, but there was way too much bus time with not much time in the locations. Too many people on the bus and didn't really appreciate the tour being multilingual, we thought we were booking an English tour. Also didn't like having 3 different guides. Our last guide really didn't do much. But, again, we did see

Scandinavia Explorer

Good paced tour with a good mix of city and country. An active tour with hiking and cycling.

• Coach / Bus

Highlights of Scandinavia (12 Days)

My trip was well organized. The Tour Leader Amanda and the Driver Raffie were both excellent. The cities, sites, people, and events experienced were a joy.

Scenic Scandinavia and its Fjords (14 Days)

The itinerary was great with lots of time built in for solo exploration. I liked having an orientation to the towns before heading out on my own. Michael had a lot of knowledge to share about the places we saw. He is s great story teller making everything interesting. His personality is perfect for the job. He kept everyone on time in a very respectful manner which was much appreciated. I also enjoyed the local guides who were also a wealth of knowledge. The optional excursions were Good value for the most part. Our driver was awesome. Despite the challenging terrain I felt very safe and comfortable on the coach. He was always very pleasant.

Focus on Scandinavia

Accommodations in Copenhagen and Stockholm were too difficult to get to and from using public transportation. Would drop visit to Vemork...story is interesting but the actual sight was disappointing. Also visit to Lillehammer ski jump was just ok; could also drop that from the tour. Would have liked more time in Oslo and Stockholm. Ali was a fabulous guide and all bus drivers were excellent drivers.

Grand Scandinavia (Classic, 20 Days)

An excellent and enjoyable tour with so much amazing scenery. Greg's knowledge, enthusiasm, commitment to us and his warm personality added so much to our experience. A special mention to our driver Zoltan whose skill and friendly nature made us all feel very safe and relaxed. Greg and Zoltan worked so well together. Would highly recommend the tour, Greg and Zoltan

Best of Iceland

Great tour with our excellent CEO from G Adventures. Saw a lot of various sights in Iceland and were even fortunate to see the Northern Lights 4 nights.

Spectacular Scandinavia & its Fjords (Classic, 15 Days)

Overall this was an excellent value for money holiday, The luxury transportation and wonderful hotels in excellent locations really made this trip. The scenery was spectacular- just loved these countries and our experiences. Our travel director went over and above to ensure we all had a wonderful time. I would fully recommend Insight Vacations Scandinavia trips.

Capitals of Scandinavia (10 Days)

Great company, guide and driver.

Northern Capitals

Colleen was a very knowledgeable and accommodating guide, as were the specialist guides that joined us at each city. I would have liked more stopping and immersion at the places that we drove by. and really would have liked to have had more time in Oslo. Though I wasn't particularly looking forward to the cruise from Stockholm to Helsinki, it ended up being quite enjoyable. The hotels were all conveniently located, though the Imperial in Copenhagen is in need of redecorating. This was the first tour that I have taken other than those that I took with students when I was teaching. If I go on a tour again, I think that I would rather be in a smaller group.

A Taste of Scandinavia

Nikolai was FANTASTIC!!!! He was a great tour leader. The tour took us to many places and he educated us well. However, just a few negative comments. The hotels were not satisfactory ....I am used to better hotels when I travel. Carrying my luggage throughout the tour was very burdensome. I am an older person, and although I am in great shape, I did not want to be responsible for carrying my luggage everywhere. There was an 89 year old man on our trip. He had a real hard time catching up. I usually go on escorted tours where my luggage, and everything else, is handled by the guides, not by me. I loved the places that wer went to and overall I would suggest people take Tourradar and Intrepid if they don't mind doing some of the labor involved.

Copenhagen to Helsinki

I was disappointed the coach driver had to take 48 hours off the last two days of my trip because just when I was tired out I had to walk a lot and take public transportation.????

Scandinavia Highlights – Denmark Norway Sweden Finland

What people love about nordic / scandinavia tours.

Great tour, short but hit all the places that were on the initinery and the pick up from the hotel was very swift and easy. The guides for the 2 trips were friendly. I love how Mahlia (or Maria?) added her personal touch and stories to the pitch on the bus. I had a great trip in Iceland and want to come back again in different seasons.

I was worried about the culturally mixed tour clients due to some negative reviews from previous clients. But I enjoyed the experiences of mixing with participants from Mexico and the Philippines. Yes sometimes bilingual guides’ presentations were not clear, and I had to ask for clarifications. Hotels were better than I had expected from the reviews; except in one-hotel the lightening was so bd

Lovely places to see. Tour experience was great. We had wonderful times.

5 adventures in europe without the crowds.

• Share to Facebook

• Share to Linkedin

Lithuania & Latvia: Vilnius to Riga with Country Walkers

If last summer is any indication—and bookings for 2024 suggest that it is—parts of Europe will be as inundated with crowds as they were in 2023. The best way to avoid the hordes is to go somewhere off the beaten path, seeking out corners of Europe free of mass tourism. Here are five European trips for those seeking a respite from the madding crowd.

Lithuania & Latvia: Vilnius to Riga

Country Walkers pairs two of the Baltics’ most desirable destinations on this eight-day trip, blending rural traditions and history. Rated Easy/Moderate includes visiting castles and historic palaces and exploring some of the scenic trails into the national parks of Trakai, Curonian Spit, Žemaitija, Gauja, and Kemeri. A visit to an amber museum and a tour of one of Europe’s largest markets, guided by a Latvian chef. There is availability in June, July and August and the cost is $4,545 (prices listed are per person, based on double occupancy, land-only).

Albania with Hinoki Travels.

Hinoki Travels chose Albania for its farm-to-table splendor, lesser-explored mountain trails, and warm-natured hospitality. It has put together a small group trip to Southern Albania with a theme of Provenance. Celebrating the region’s varied cultures, food & agriculture, and vast landscapes, this nine-day trip focuses on being hosted by local farmers, food producers, shepherds, local guides & small business owners.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.
