What our clients are saying about their journeys to Finland
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!

Fabulous trip, excellent guides. I loved the activities and the places we travelled to.
Complete Scandinavia
Kathy, NSW, Australia, Aug 2026
I loved all the countries we visited and the included activities. It was well worth the money and time. The variety of activities were a highlight, including Vrango island canooing, walking in the Fjords in Norway and cycling in beautiful Copenhagen.
I had a wonderful 20-day Nordic Adventure travelling through Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway gave me a wonderful glimpse into countries and cultures that felt so different from home. The highlights for me were experiencing the wilds of Lapland and the spectacular scenery of Norway. Geirangerfjord and the surrounding mountains were simply breathtaking, read more and there were so many moments along the way when I found myself appreciating just how beautiful Scandinavia is. But the biggest highlights for me was the Lofoten Islands. The dramatic mountains, waterways and beautiful coastal scenery were absolutely spectacular.
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.

Our trip was wonderful, especially the last leg driving south through Norway. Scenery/mountains were fantastic. Above all our tour director was magnificent. Given the above driving the highways through Sweden and Finland was great but on many occasions highways had trees lining them for kilometres and kilometres. Still it was chance to shut ones eyes read more and nod off for a while. Special thanks to Georgie. Absolutely supportive and helpful as usual.

Saw all the highlights of the trip in perfect weather with a good crowd of fellow travellers. Alex & Roland made our experience of the north a smooth, interesting and fun journey and we would recommend this trip.
