Highlights of Scandinavia Reviews

Really enjoyed the introduction tour of scandinavia! John was great travel director and Marcin was a great driver! Great use of local tour guides especially Adi who has a fun personality suited once you get to Stockholm. Wish you could stay in Copenhagen and Stockholm longer to make this tour a 14-15 day instead because they were fairly large cities. read more If you are doing this tour, I would recommend to try arriving 2 days earlier to explore a-bit more of Copenhagen and stay another day or 2 in Stockholm. Norway was at the right amount and the Flam rail and cruise through the Nærøyfjord is a must for future tourist.

Now we also experienced a very hot summer (which was very rare according to locals) but wish some of the hotels had fans or vented cooling. Other than that, the hotels in Copenhagen, Bergen & Stockholm were great! Thanks again Costsaver for a great experience!

We are home now after a wonderful (but occasionaly stressful) eight weeks away. Thankfully the trip was saved by the emergency passport! We would just like to tell you that we had a fantastic holiday on our Highlights of Scandanavia tour. The coach driver and Orsi the guide were both professional, organised and very personable, so it made the trip run read more very smoothly. We loved the scenery and experiences we had in these three beautiful countries. We would just like to thank you for your role in organising this trip for us, we appreciate it and may contact you again one day for another Costsaver experience.

We had the absolute best tour - our Tour Director - Mike, was awesome - he was very knowledgeable and super nice to everyone. Greg the bus driver was outstanding. Highlights were the stop at Bergen and the waterfall stop on the Flåm Railway. But everything was memorable and thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks Mike you are a star.

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Tour guide was fantastic as was our driver. Very well paced tour, very scenic and good stops along the way. Were happy with all hotels. Extra tours were mostly very good, probably a bit expensive but I would still recommend.

What a great holiday experience!! The beautiful and scenic Norwegian fjords with their cascading waterfalls will remain in one's memory. The warm and welcoming attitude that the folks extended to visitors is commendable.

To top off the experience, the travel director lived up to his name. He was approachable and passionate about his work. This was read more evident in how he handled various situations. His very clear instructions and directions provided one with a sense of security. Camaraderie was generated among fellow travellers where friendship could be built for life.

Likewise, the Global Journeys Travel Advisor was most efficient, prompt and assuring in handling one's online booking. Excellent service!!

Accommodation venues selected were great and appropriate. Those selected out of cities had lovely lakeside sceneries, walkways and with dinners provided. Those selected in the cities were of close proximity to eateries and supermarkets. These choices have a true indication of travellers needs in mind and is commendable.

The travel period chosen was a good time of the year to travel as facilities were open and the weather was milder. Optionals provided were varied and clearly highlighted but with no pressure to join from travel director.

With this experience, I have no hesitation to travel and book online with this operator.

I really liked and enjoyed every single day of the tour. We were lucky to have such a wonderful and experienced driver as well as a lovely tour director. We had a beautiful group of travellers which made our experience even more delightful. Special thanks to Jemma for organising our trip.

Really enjoyed the trip. Norway is just breathtaking, it's like a postcard. Oslo is very vibrant, Stockholm is also very beautiful. Scandinavia is going cash free, so make sure you have a credit/debit card with PIN. Sweden is a good place for shopping, much cheaper than in Norway. Admission is free for kids under 18yo at Vasa Museum (Stockholm) but read more the optional tour will charge you full price. You can buy a ticket at 7/11 and catch the tram behind the Central Station to the museum. Entry to the museum costs 12 euro ($19 AUD) - no queue at all. The hotel in Bergen is in a very good location, It's only 8 min walk to The Fløibanen funicular where you pay $8AUD/one way to go up the mountain and you can wander around at your leisure with a fraction of the price listed in the optional tour. I even found a beautiful lake up there which the people who went on optional tour didn't have time to see.

We had a fantastic time! The tour was really well organised. Our tour director, Greg, was great - always friendly, helpful and full of information. The hotels were clean and well situated. Saw a lot of amazing places in the 12 days. Thank you for the wonderful trip Greg, Costsaver and Global Journeys! Highly recommend Costsaver and Trafalgar.

Hotels, breakfast and meals were of a much higher standard than I expected with a Costsaver Tour. Our tour had hotels more central to the places we stayed, first time I believe and a good move by Trafalgar.

Exceptional Tour Guide on Tour, we certainly had the best. Choosing Optional Tours suited me better and I chose to have my own time "doing read more my own thing" and also good to not be always be with a group of people.

There were 45 people, from various countries and culture on the coach. The coach was relatively new with amble leg space and with two exit doors, no problem with exiting quickly. The coach driver was excellent and the coach the next day always immaculate.

I highly recommend this tour with Costsaver as an excellent way to see Scandinavia, especially if you have the great sunny weather we had!

Global Journeys made this trip super easy to book! And at a competitive price too. Tour itself was great, nothing "cost saver" about it. It is cheaper than traditional Trafalgar tours, and the money is saved by staying in hotels that are a little bit further out of the central city areas. But this did not matter at all! In fact, it meant we got to stay read more in some very beautiful locations and very good quality hotels.

By the time you finish your touring all day, you get to your hotel, have dinner, and crash. Then leave the next morning! So it doesn't even matter where the hotel is located because you're only there for such a short time. And when you do stay in an area for a couple of days, the tour bus drops you in the city for the whole day to explore, so no need to worry about transportation to the main central locations. Also great buffet breakfasts every single morning. You will not starve! Some seats on the coach were squishier than others. Seat rotation meant everyone had their fair share of good and bad seats.

It was good. Only negative item was the lack of free Wi-fi on the coach in Norway. Couldn't understand why this was so as the coach was equipped with Wi-fi and if we required it, it was going to be extra cost. On principle, we did not avail of it in Norway.
