Focus on Scandinavia Reviews

We thoroughly enjoyed our Scandinavian tour. The scenery was amazing, our our weather was great. Cosmos do a great job. We had a few very early mornings, and a few long days, but well worth it. Most of the hotels were lovely, with only one or two being on the outskirts of the city. Everything was so easy to organise booking through Global Journeys.

Tour was perfectly organised, with interesting excursions and excellent local guides. Stunning scenery of Norwegian fjords was the highlight, but there was a lot to see and learn in other places as well. And Hannah was very helpful, always promptly responding to all our questions during the booking process.

This was my first trip with Cosmos. Such a great trip. Fantastic guide & driver. Met lots of wonderful people. Stunning scenery. Very well organised.

As I had never been to Scandinavia before this tour was a great way to visit the major cities in the three countries of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. It shows you enough to decide if you want to go back again or have seen enough. Everything ran to schedule and I felt confidence in our driver and tour manager. A great starting point for Scandinavia.

The booking experience with Global Journeys was very smooth and the post-booking support was excellent. The tour was run by Cosmos. The tour leader was very friendly and responsible, keeping everyone aware of the tour itinerary and timing but was lacking knowledge of the toured cities and areas. He wasn't a local in Scandinavia. So we were not given read more much suggestions on what to do during the free time. The local tour guides were a mix, some were good and some were ordinary. I guess with such a big tour group of 42, it was difficult for the one tour guide to manage. The coach driver was perfect, with very good driving skills and helping with luggage and people getting on/off. The hotels were not in good locations, need to take public transport or taxi to/return from touring the cities. A fair bit of time was wasted. Most of the hotels were lower 3-star. The welcome dinner was ordinary and the farewell dinner was poor. It gave everyone on-tour a rather poor perception. Overall, we did enjoy the tour with the beautiful sceneries and different kinds of local food.

We thought the trip was good value for money. Accommodation and associated meals were extremely good. Tour Director, Jane & bus driver Robert we’re professional in every aspect.

We have been wanting to do this tour for some time and it didn't disappoint; because of the long winter, most of the lakes and fjords in Norway were frozen and it was such a spectacular sight. Booking with Global Journeys was easy and Hannah was very efficient, helping us each step of the way. Our TD was very friendly and knowledgeable. The hotels read more were comfortable although out of the way in some cities. Would have been nice to have had a central hotel in Oslo given the short time spent there. The included dinners were hit and miss - breakfasts were simple but good variety. Most memorable day would be when we were in Fagernes and it snowed!

Our 5th European trip and our last bucket list in the European continent after traveling to the other parts of Europe and once again Cosmos delivered, You get what you pay for and I can't complain about the quality of the hotels, etc. We went late September and it was a bit cold and raining sometimes but it did not stop us from enjoying on what Cosmos read more offered on their tour, You will spend more days in Norway as you will visit a lot of sites and driving in mountainous winding roads with breathtaking views of the mountains, fjords, and lakes plus short cruising. You will see most of the highlights in Copenhagen, Denmark and our favorite Scandinavian city is Stockholm, Sweden, very European with lots of museums with free entrance. 41 in our group with mostly Americans, some Canadians, Indians, and Australians. I always booked with Global Journeys because they are top notch, best price and Professional service from start to finish.

I went in October. Not the best time of the year as it was cold and wet! Big group of 46 but our tour leader (firm, direct and friendly) handled everything very well. We had a very cheerful (always had a smile on his face), safe and skilled driver. Scandinavia is wonderful; clean fresh air, refreshing drinkable tap water, green rolling pastures, amazing read more sights and scrumptious seafood (plenty of salmon - I love salmon!). We all got on very well with lots of fun and laughter despite the huge age difference and fellow travellers from many different countries. I would travel with Cosmos and book through Global Journeys again.

Trip was great, sites amazing and Beatrix was a great tour leader. As I am 70, I was pleased the tour was no longer than 12 days, as the pace of the trip began to take its toll as it neared the end. On a whole the standard of the accommodation was only average, some places were good. The accommodation in Copenhagen was awful (my room at least), while read more the accommodation in Bromma was great. I thought it was a strange choice as it was close to the domestic terminal and everyone on tour was an international traveller.

The booking experience was efficient to a point. I found it strange that I booked through what was marked on the internet as Australian site for Globus/Cosmos. Georgie couldn’t have been more helpful but the optional extras had to be booked through another site which led to some confusion.

We had 42 on the coach with 28 Australians, 3 UK and 11 from the USA. It was a happy mix of people who’d travelled before all around the world. Quite a few had used Cosmos for other tours. The CosmosGO app was useful. We thought the tour covered many areas of the countries and it was interesting to include Telemark and the heavy water plant, connected to World War 2.

An amazing, beautiful and unforgettable experience we had on the Focus on Scandinavia tour with Cosmos. The highlights were the Fjords in Norway and hassle free bookings with Global Journeys with the help of Yvonne. Sure we will plan for another trip soon. Our tour director Anna Losonczi and Csaba our tour driver did a wonderful job. Our tour went so read more smoothly. Thank you for all the job well done.

Just returned from a fabulous tour of Scandinavia. We did our entire booking online through Global Journeys and it went very smoothly, no hiccups and was really easy. The information we received regarding our tour was all inclusive and arrived in plenty of time to peruse carefully before leaving. We had no questions and no stress with this trip.

The read more trip itself was lovely. Our accommodation was very good, the tour coach was excellent and we were very well informed and looked after by our lovely tour guide. I felt like we saw a lot and with the extra optional tours and sufficient free time I feel like we missed nothing. It was a very satisfying trip, my third with Cosmos and definitely not my last.

My husband and I have been so lucky to see and experience all that our tour provided. Each day was different, well planned and extremely enjoyable. Rosie, our tour guide was fabulous, with an excellent knowledge of all areas we travelled through. Kamil, our driver... no other words but extremely skilled. He was always polite and helpful.

The three read more countries we travelled through were all different, with Norway a stand out for us... simply stunning, and I felt blessed to have my sight! This was our third Cosmos tour and it won’t be our last! On finishing I would like to suggest that Cosmos vet their prospective tour members, if the tour is an English speaking tour... no English no go!

A wonderful trip, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Our Tour Director Judit was very knowledgeable and helpful, and our driver Pavel was a real professional.
The tour could perhaps be extended by a day or so, as we had a couple of very long days in the coach. I would also suggest travelling in May or June rather than early April, as it was still very cold read more then. Most of us from the Southern Hemisphere, who are not accustomed to that climate, quickly picked up a touch of the flu!

Booking through Global Journeys was a breeze and so too was this, our second Cosmos trip. Natural beauty and water was in abundance. It was late in the tourist season but overall the weather was good and crowds were manageable. Accommodation & location overall was good, exception being the last 2 nights at Bromma domestic airport. The Globus coach was read more comfortable and our group comprised Australians, N.Z.'s, U.S.A.'s, Canadians, Indians & English. A good time was had by all.

My wife and I recently did the Focus on Scandinavia tour with Cosmos. From the moment we arrived in Copenhagen until our tour end in Stockholm, everything was perfect. The tour bus was comfortable and the hotel locations were mainly excellent. Our tour director Iris made the trip so enjoyable and stress free for everyone. Our highlight was the cruise read more on the Sonjefjord. Just stunning. Thanks to Yvonne at Global Journeys for such brilliant organisation of our tour.

I thoroughly enjoyed my recent tour with Cosmos to Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The tour was excellent value for money, the guide very good and luckily the weather was perfect for holidaying. I will certainly book again with your company and recommend your tours to my friends who travel. Thank you very much for helping me with my booking after the sudden read more cancellation of my Trafalgar Tour.

One of the best holidays I have had. Booking with Global Journeys was not only the cheapest but they responded to any questions and it was a good booking process. The 12 day tour covered a lot but was excellent in terms of coverage, both cost and the three countries, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

The tour left on 12 May and we were blessed with beautiful sunny and warm weather throughout. The cities were interesting and some days perfect picture postcard scenery. I often travel with Cosmos and usually do all the optional extras and I enjoyed all the options on this trip. To keep the costs down the hotels in Copenhagen and Stockholm are out of read more town but close to public transport links to the city if you want to spend extra time there and your guide or the hotels can give you details.
