What people love about Nordic / Scandinavia Tours for Young Adults
- 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.
- Iceland Fire and Ice (Classic ( Until 3 Mar '27), Winter)
This was an a mazing trip! You will meet some of the nicest people in the world and also see some of the greatest sites to explore on earth.
- Scandinavia (Summer)
The tour was wonderful! Our tour guide was incredibly organized, provided us with above and beyond information about where we were going, the culture, and all the sights. Our bus driver made us feel so incredibly safe and did an excellent job navigating the Scandinavian roads. Plus the bus was excellent to travel in. All of the accommodations were clean comfortable. I met so many wonderful people and came out with many great friends! All of the activities and meals included made the trip so stress free!
