What people love about Nordic / Scandinavia Tours
- From Copenhagen to Helsinki
Great experince . Every thing was well planned and executed.
- Absolute North
An excellent tour, well organised and very good guide!
- Capitals of Scandinavia
I was not thrilled with the way Trafalgar sets up their tours. On the first day in each city, we had a 1-2 hour bus ride just pointing out different sites. Then to actually visit most of the attractions in was an optional experience with an additional fee. I would have preferred to pay more up front and had all the important sites and activities included and not waste time just touring around on a bus.

See all Active toursFor a more planned approach to Scandinavia, our coach routes connect the main capitals smoothly. The core 6-day journey runs Oslo to Copenhagen via Stockholm, stopping at spots like Örebro where you can wander through the lakeside castle and old town areas. There's also a longer 15-day option that adds Helsinki and Lapland to the mix. Our travelers like how we balance guided tours with plenty of free time to find their own favorite cafes and galleries. Just worth noting - some guests mention it's good to check hotel locations since a few spots sit in calmer areas outside the city centers.
See all Coach / Bus toursOur Nordic explorer routes give you a proper taste of Scandinavia's variety. The main 13-day route takes you from Copenhagen through Norway's fjords and finishes in Helsinki - lots of our travelers tell us they love the overnight ferries and the free time we build in for Copenhagen, Stockholm and Bergen. If you're keen on mixing city and snow, there's a great route that combines capital visits with real winter action in Lapland, where you'll drive husky sleds and watch for Northern Lights near Ivalo. Our guides Luke and Inga get countless mentions in feedback for managing all the details while keeping everyone laughing and learning along the way.

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.

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.

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.
