Fabulous trip, excellent guides. I loved the activities and the places we travelled to. Complete ScandinaviaKathy, 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.
An Unforgettable Nordic Adventure Nordic AdventureMelisa , VIC, Australia, Aug 2026
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.
Road trip Scandinavia Grand ScandinaviaIan and Lyne , VIC, Australia, Aug 2026
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.
Cosmos Norwegian Fjords tour 8 August 2026 Norwegian FjordsJohn and Christina , VIC, Australia, Aug 2026
This Cosmos tour was most enjoyable. The Tour guide and bus driver both ensured the tour went smoothly. The hotels and provided meals were of a high standard. The pace of the tour was reasonable considering the distances covered each day. Norway itself is a most interesting country and our tour guide gave us a lot of information as we toured each day. read more Tourists need to prepare for changeable weather throughout the tour. Norway has a 25% GST so things are very expensive and that is another thing you need to prepare for.
Oslo is a city for tourists and we recommend 2 or 3 days would be worthwhile prior to the tour. The towns and scenery visited was good throughout the trip but became exceptional from Bergen onwards. One challenge in touring in Norway is the short tourist season through summer results in the large ships disgorging huge tourist numbers into small Fjord towns. This is one advantage of coach touring as this problem can to some degree be avoided, but it probably should be expected. It can be a problem in Flam. Another strange problem is that despite Norway's absurd wealth, and despite the fact that they make a lot of money from tourism, they have very few public toilet facilities. This to some degree determines where the tour buses must go. To me it seems a lack of respect for tourists.
The landscape of Iceland is totally different from anywhere we have been before. There is a large ice shelf covering over 10% of the country with glaciers and rivers and waterfalls. A lot of the rest of the country is covered with volcanic lava leaving little land for agriculture. The waterfalls are beautiful and the icebergs in Glacier Bay spectacular. read more The solar eclipse we experienced was eerie as the sudden darkness enveloped us even with the cloud cover and no sight of the sun. An interesting place to visit but be prepared for expensive food and drinks.
Wonderful Scenic NorwayKathy and Dennis, MN, United States, Jul 2026
We cannot say enough, good about global journeys! Our tour guide Olvind, and driver”Magic” were totally awesome. The knowledge and the personal stories that were shared in the tight corners and hairpin turns that were made! Just very thankful we were in the hands of these two great guys. We had beautiful weather, which I understand is not always happening, read more which also helped of course. But they made the trip just just lovely. This was our trip we had on our bucket list for many years and we’re fortunate enough to be able to do it. So thankful we were able to hook up with your tour of Norway.
