What our clients are saying about their experiences travelling the world on a 4 Star tour
I booked this trip last year with the hope of seeing the Northern Lights, and it turned out to be an amazing adventure! One thing I think people should understand before booking is that while you can see the Northern Lights with the naked eye, they are not always visible or as vibrant as the photos you see online. We were fortunate enough to see faint read more green colors, and our smartphones captured much more than our eyes could see. Even without a spectacular display, experiencing the Northern Lights was still special.
There were plenty of optional excursions, and we chose to do all of them. They were 100% worth it! The reindeer farm was a great experience, and the husky sledding adventure was so much fun, even though there was no snow. We also visited the Icehotel, and what an amazing and fun experience that was! Seeing the incredible ice sculptures and the creativity that goes into creating the hotel was fascinating. We learned that the outdoor ice hotel is being built later and later in the year. I can only wonder if climate change and warming temperatures are contributing to that. The permanent Icehotel was awesome and well worth seeing!
We also toured the Vasa Museum and the Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm. The Vasa Museum literally took my breath away! Seeing the Vasa ship in person was incredible and definitely a highlight of the trip. I highly recommend allowing extra time in Stockholm to explore these attractions and enjoy the city.
A little advice for future travelers: Consider arriving a day or two early to adjust to the time difference. The 10-hour time change (from California) was much harder to adjust to than I expected! I would also recommend staying an extra day or two after the tour to give yourself enough time to truly explore Stockholm.
Another important tip: Pack for the Arctic weather! We traveled in October, and it was COLD. If you're traveling to Finnish and Swedish Lapland, make sure you bring proper cold-weather clothing, including a warm winter jacket, insulated pants, gloves, a hat, and appropriate footwear. Some people in our group had to purchase additional clothing because they weren't adequately prepared. You don't want to spend your time being cold when you should be enjoying the experience!
Our tour guide, Mike, was awesome! He was personable, funny, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the trip. He also did a great job managing a group of 27 people, which is no easy task. Our driver, Kristoff, got us everywhere safely, and our two local experts, Lucas (Northern lights hunting) and Adi Nobel and Vasa Museum** (I hope I spelled their names correctly!), were great as well. I really enjoyed Adi's tours he was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. You could just tell how passionate he was.
Our group of 27 people was the perfect size. Everyone got along really well and, best of all, everyone was ready on time, which helped keep everything running smoothly. The first couple of days involve quite a bit of travel, but once you settle into the pace, the trip is fantastic.
If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure with great guides, beautiful scenery, fun excursions, and a wonderful group experience, I highly recommend this trip! The Northern Lights are a bonus, but there is so much more to see and experience along the way. I would absolutely consider traveling with Trafalgar again!

Ireland travel review
Introduction to Ireland
Sarah and Michael, NC, United States, Oct 2026
We had a great time. Helen our tour guide was super knowledgeable and helpful for places to stop for lunch and around town. It was wonderful to have the main attractions planned out for us. We got extremely lucky with the weather for October and had beautiful views. I would recommend to anyone looking for a worry free trip.
Cape York
Cooktown and Cape York
Dale and Patricia, NSW, Australia, Sep 2026
Some of the accommodation was very upmarket, I know it says luxury travel and we need bus parking and close to amenities. So is the Shangri La necessary. Starting with a night at Port Douglas, we could travel a little further for our first stop and it was very luxurious as well. Lunch meals, would a sandwich or salad roll suffice as we are not very read more active sitting on the bus. Overall food and accommodation were excellent.
Turkish Delight - 13 Day Tour of Turkiye
Turkish Delight
Julian and Yasmin, VIC, Australia, Sep 2026
We enjoyed our 13-day round trip to Turkiye visiting some of the main attractions the country has to offer and some of the historic cities. It was a full-on schedule. We would have preferred 15-day tour at a slightly reduced space. Anyway we had an excellent time. Burna, tour guide and Mustafa, the driver were very helpful, obliging and very approachable. read more Turkiye was a very clean and tidy country. The majority of the participants were from Australia and we all got on very well. Except for one or two hotels the rest were very comfortable. The buffet dinners had a range of delicious food, but the couple of set menus that we had was very poor indeed.

Lorraine and Helen, NSW, Australia, Sep 2026
Excellent time to travel for changing leaf colours- beautiful kaleidoscope everywhere. Insight coaches very comfortable & spacious, but seat rotation somewhat inconsistent!! Accommodation hotels very comfortable with large rooms though Digby Pines Resort had smaller rooms & needs upgrading. Itinerary good & local guides very knowledgeable & entertaining read more even in very adverse weather conditions at times. Found some “lessons” on local products too detailed. Included meals good.
