I particularly loved that this itinerary includes Lofoten, as many other Nordic tours don’t which gave us the opportunity to experience a part of Norway that I may otherwise never have visited. I also really enjoyed sharing the journey with such a great group of fellow travellers. Our Tour Director, Joel, and coach drivers helped make the trip even more enjoyable with their knowledge, organisation and care throughout the journey. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to experience the beauty and diversity of Scandinavia — and especially the incredible Lofoten Islands.
