What people love about Nordic / Scandinavia Tours for Young Adults
- Scandinavia (Summer)
Ebony was an amazing tour manager. She is very passionat about her job and knew a lot about all the destinations. She always gave good reccomandations and was very approachable if there was a problem. I couldn't have wished for a better tour manager.
- Get Social: Scandi Express (Winter)
I honestly had no idea what to expect when starting the Scandi Express tour. I was going with a friend who had already travelled with TopDeck, but she saved all the details...almost like a surprise! Elise was welcoming, knowledgable, kind, and hilarious. She gave you all the information you needed to know, but didn't try to boss you around. She was respectful and all she asked in return was that you respect her; an easy task! Elise, thank you for being oh so kind and caring. I'm planning two more TopDeck tours and if my leaders are anything like you I know I'll be in safe hands.
- Norway Fjords and Northern Lights
Rianna was an amazing tour guide! She showed us the highlights of Norway & included some generic but also quirky facts about places. She sets tour rules & expectations early to manage the trip but they are reasonable & in place for a reason. She is approachable & helpful if you need. Otherwise polite & friendly during casual interactions on the tour.

As one TourRadar traveler noted: "From the trendy cafes in Copenhagen to the majestic fjords of Norway every destination offered something unique and exciting for young travelers."
