Best tour companies for Nordic / Scandinavia tours
Arctic Adventures gets solid marks from our travelers for their Laugavegur & Fimmvörðuháls Trek - the food is really good and the guides know exactly what they're doing. Just be aware they've had some recent issues with hut bookings being oversubscribed, so you'll want to confirm your spots well in advance. Expat Explore's Highlights of Scandinavia tour is particularly strong on the guiding front. Their team clearly knows the region inside and out, and travelers tell us they appreciate how smoothly everything runs. The accommodations are reliably comfortable and also well-located. Europamundo offers decent coverage of Scandinavia's main spots, but you might find the schedule a bit uneven. Some of our customers mention having too much free time in certain places, and the local guide quality can vary. They're worth considering if you want a more relaxed pace, but those seeking a packed itinerary might want to look at other options. Among these three, Expat Explore seems to hit the sweet spot between good organization, knowledgeable guides and comfortable travel. Arctic Adventures delivers on the nature experience but watch those booking details, while Europamundo could use some fine-tuning in their daily planning.

Top Nordic / Scandinavia travel itineraries to fit your plans
Our week-long Nordic routes really showcase the best of Scandinavia. The Copenhagen to Oslo journey takes you kayaking along Vrango Island's protected waters, introduces you to proper Swedish fika in Alingsas and lets you discover Copenhagen's lesser-known corners with locals who share real stories from the streets. If you're keen on capital cities, another popular route includes Kronborg Castle in Denmark, a cruise through the forested Åland archipelago and a boat trip to Helsinki's Suomenlinna fortress. Our travelers like how these tours mix guided walks with independent exploration time, though they mention it's smart to check hotel locations since some are placed outside city centers.
Ten days gives you time to truly experience Scandinavian culture. The most popular route runs from Copenhagen up through Norway's fjords to Bergen. You'll take the steep Flåmsbana Railway past cascading waters, cruise between towering mountain walls and explore Bergen's vibrant old Hanseatic wharf. Another solid choice adds Helsinki - you'll cross the Baltic overnight and wake up surrounded by countless small islands. Our customers consistently praise our guides' deep knowledge of Viking history and local traditions, noting how smoothly they handle everything from traffic issues to sudden weather changes.
Demographics
The Scandinavia Explorer really clicks with solo travelers - they get to mix bob sledding and kayaking in Swedish lakes with hikes around Bergen's seven mountains. The small group setup means you can connect with other travelers but still do your own thing when you want. Our Norwegian guide Sigrid gets mentioned a lot in reviews for making everyone feel included and sharing local secrets you won't find in guidebooks. The tour balances group activities with personal time, and you'll get around using everything from boats and bikes to trains and local trams.
For couples, we've found our Complete Scandinavia route hits just right with its mix of cozy experiences and cultural spots. You'll drift off in ferry cabins with ocean views, share Swedish fika coffee moments and spend quiet evenings in historic Bryggen. The Copenhagen to Helsinki journey is another favorite - couples love the private walks through medieval streets and relaxed cruises past pine-covered islands. There's plenty of time built in for intimate dinners in Stockholm's Gamla Stan or catching the sunset together from Bergen's Mount Fløyen.
Young travelers go for our active Nordic routes that pack different experiences into each day. You'll cycle through Copenhagen's hidden spots, paddle around Vrango Island and trek Norwegian fjord paths. The Berlin to Helsinki route draws lots of bookings - it mixes urban discoveries like Berlin's street art and Stockholm's art-filled metro stations with outdoor activities. The overnight ferries are social spots where you can hang out in the entertainment areas and wake up to Baltic Sea sunrises.
Older travelers consistently book our Copenhagen to Helsinki tour for its thoughtful pacing and reliable hotels with good morning spreads. Our guide Luke gets regular mentions in feedback for looking after senior guests while sharing deep historical insights. Another solid choice includes guided walks through Stockholm's Gamla Stan and Oslo's sculpture gardens, with smart public transport options when needed. The central hotels make everything easy to reach, and we start each city with orientation tours before giving time to explore independently.
This family-oriented Scandinavian journey weaves together the region's most appealing elements, with our travelers consistently choosing the "Vision of Scandinavia" route for its thoughtful balance. Copenhagen's historic Nyhavn district captures children's imagination, while parents appreciate the well-structured pace through Norway and Sweden. The carefully planned route includes the Flåmsbana railway's steep mountain ascent with sweeping fjord views, scenic ferry crossings, and also guided explorations of Bergen's UNESCO heritage quarters. Families particularly value how the tour balances guided morning activities with afternoons left open for independent wandering through local neighborhoods. A highlight for many young travelers is the overnight maritime crossing from Denmark to Norway, adding a dash of seafaring spirit to the journey, while visits to welcoming cities like Aarhus introduce cultural experiences that naturally engage all generations.

When people talk about Scandinavia they're usually referring to Denmark Norway and Sweden - the three kingdoms that have been connected for centuries.
The Nordic region is actually bigger including Finland and Iceland too. These countries share so much more than just borders you know - from their cultural roots to those incredible landscapes and they're all really passionate about sustainable living.
What Natural Wonders Can You Visit Beyond the Cities?
Norway's fjords are absolutely breathtaking - places like Geirangerfjord and Sognefjord are actually UNESCO World Heritage sites and you can explore them by cruise ship ferry or these incredibly scenic railways. Then there's Iceland with its national parks Vatnajökull is massive with these incredible glaciers and volcanic landscapes. You can drive there yourself or join a tour and for something really special try staying in one of those traditional Norwegian huts near Kjelsfossen waterfall the views of the fjord are just incredible.
How Do You Get Around the Nordic Countries?
The train network here is really efficient connecting the major cities like Copenhagen Stockholm and Oslo there are even comfortable overnight options. The Oslo to Bergen route is actually Europe's highest train journey and it's absolutely spectacular. If you want to mix things up the ferries between countries are great too running all year between places like Denmark and Norway or Sweden and Finland. You can even take an overnight ferry from Stockholm to Turku which is quite an experience.
What Local Foods Should You Definitely Try?
You absolutely have to try Swedish meatballs or köttbullar as they're called locally - they come with this amazing creamy gravy lingonberry sauce and mashed potatoes you'll find them all over Stockholm. In Bergen the fish market is fantastic for trying Norwegian salmon whether it's smoked or cured. And when you're in Helsinki look for reindeer stew it's this hearty traditional dish that's perfect after a day of exploring. There are these great food tours in places like Bergen where you can explore historic fishing towns and taste traditional salmon right where it comes from.
