Nordic Adventure Reviews

Loved this tour! It covered lots of ground in 20 days, with some long days on the coach and lots of short ferry rides. Guide Xavier and Drivers Janos & Gabor were exceptional. Fellow travellers were a great mix of lovely people from Australia, the US, Canada and NZ. Would recommend this tour.

Thanks to Georgie for booking this trip. Pleasure dealing with her. I will definitely be booking more trips with her. Trafalgar tour was great. Good travel director and excellent coach driver. Beautiful scenic Scandinavia. Geiranger fiord and the mountains were spectacular. Did not get to see the midnight sun at North Cape as it was raining. Norway ...read more is a beautiful scenic country.

Note to Trafalgar - Some of the hotels were not great. No hot water in the Santa Claus hotel. Freezing cold as well. Trafalgar needs to assess this. Going by ferry from Stockholm to Helsinki was a wasted journey. Over 16 hours on a crowded ferry, cabins were small and claustrophobic. Better off driving from Stockholm to Helsinki and get to see more of Sweden and Finland.

Great adventure. Breathtaking scenery and a fantastic Tour Director (Rebecca Blott) and Driver (Atilla). Easy Booking with Global Journeys. First time that we saw reindeer. Will book again with Global Journeys and Trafalgar.

We did the Nordic Adventure with Trafalgar. We travelled through 4 countries and were most impressed with the amazing beauty of Norway. Highlights were travelling through the most beautiful fjord at Geiranger and then North Cape to see the midnight sun. Friends said our photos looked like paintings.

Thanks to Yvonne for once again making our bookings ...read more easy. This is the 4th trip she has arranged for us.

Excellent service from Georgie of Global Journeys, very pleased that we use Global Journeys to book our holidays.

As for Trafalgar's Nordic Adventure, we had a very good Tour Director. We enjoyed the tour with a few adjustments that would make this tour worth our recommendation. The ferry ride between Copenhagen and Oslo was not a good experience, ...read more long wasted time, crowded, no place to sit. Travelling by coach would have been better or a better ferry, just a overnight, not being boarded at 3pm and off at 11am. Lapland down to Helsinki needs to see how it can be improved as we had 2 days of Pine and Birch trees on flat land as scenery.

Aptly on Mid-Summer's Day we started our Nordic Adventure with Trafalgar Tours together with 35 new friends from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the US and South Africa. Our tour director was brilliant - informative, caring, humorous and unflappable. Likewise our coach driver - his first time on this 5000+km itinerary and not one scary moment.

We ...read more had excellent weather for most of the time though the North Cape of Norway and Arctic Finland were shrouded in mist but this had its own atmosphere effect. Highlights are difficult to choose as there were so many, but the Geiranger Fjord area with its nearby Dalsnibba, Eagle and Trollistgen roads challenge anything the Alps can offer in mountainous scenery and hair-pin roads. Turning the street corner in Helsinki and seeing the gleaming white Helsinki Lutheran Cathedral was breathtaking. The booking through Global Journeys was easy and with very rapid responses to questions - thanks to Madeline.

This was a good holiday, operating at the peak of the European season, with the locals enjoying the sunshine. There were lots of buses and cruise ships around. Most locals spoke good English. Our coach was very comfortable, and the tour guide and drivers were excellent. Our guide, Lasse, really worked to look after us and keep us entertained and ...read more informed on the bus. There were 47 tourists, mainly older people from Australia, Canada and the US. It was a harmonious group with no 'troublemakers'. The hotels and food were OK, but apart from some local foods, there was nothing special.

The sightseeing was good, and I would recommend the trip to others. There were some long driving days, which bothered some people, but I rather liked these. I feel that I have acquired a knowledge of Scandinavia. The included sightseeing was good, and overall, the optional tours were worthwhile, covering natural and social history as well as restaurants and experiences. We spent about 1500 euros on optionals.
