What our clients are saying about their travels to Sweden and Scandinavia
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!

Beautiful Norway, a magical paradise.
Scenic Scandinavia and its Fjords
Faye and Dianne, WA, Australia, Jun 2026
Thank you so much Tracey for all your help in sending us off, worry free for a beautiful holiday with Trafalgar. We did the Scenic Scandinavia and its Fjords. We spent most of our time in Norway which has the most amazing scenery. Our mode of travel included bus train and boat. Our tour director David was a wealth of information on any subject or read more enquiry about this beautiful country. Nothing about this tour could disappoint.
Beautiful Scandinavia
Focus on Scandinavia
Karen & Garry, VIC, Australia, Sep 2025
We thoroughly enjoyed our Scandinavian tour. The scenery was amazing, our our weather was great. Cosmos do a great job. We had a few very early mornings, and a few long days, but well worth it. Most of the hotels were lovely, with only one or two being on the outskirts of the city. Everything was so easy to organise booking through Global Journeys.
Very interesting and enjoyable tour

Boris & Irina , NSW, Australia, Sep 2025
Tour was perfectly organised, with interesting excursions and excellent local guides. Stunning scenery of Norwegian fjords was the highlight, but there was a lot to see and learn in other places as well. And Hannah was very helpful, always promptly responding to all our questions during the booking process.

Spectacular Scandinavia & its Fjords
D and J, NSW, Australia, Aug 2025
Near perfect. Tour Director (and Driver) were the most organised we have experienced. Spectacular countryside and enchanting historical cities and towns. Just be prepared to pay a lot for any snack or coffee or meal that you buy.
Our tour had a wide range of ages, some of whom had mobility issues, but his not uncommon and their needs were accommodated read more with minimal impact on the others. Two other things worth mentioning: English is the second language in Scandinavia and credit cards are accepted everywhere, so long as you have a functional PIN.
