    Great tour, better to do it alone if you travel alone because Scandanavian culture is built around that. The mountains were great (I recently moved from CO/WY area to the not-so-great Houston, so seeing these made it better). Mike our tour guide was excellent, knew what he was doing, if there was a hang up it never felt like a hang up he handled it well, he was very knowledgeable in the facts of the areas we visited. The dinners were great, people were great. Overall, the trip is great if you like colder climates, quiet cities, clean culture, no loud music or yelling in these places, and people are super introverted.

    We just got back from a Scandinavia tour- The tour itself was decent — the itinerary was fine, and the hotels were clean and comfortable, though they were located quite far from the city Unfortunately, the biggest downside was the tour leader. He seemed unprepared, offered very little communication, and did not share important information with the group. This lack of guidance affected the overall experience.

    Brilliant, personable, and knowledgeable guide (Luke), wonderful safe and experienced driver (Bogdan), and fabulous tour. Extremely well organized, a curated experience-lovely adventure where all was taken care of and a nice balance of free time with included activities and optional activities. I have had bad experiences with previous tours and Luke and this tour has changed my opinion of tours. This tour of Scandinavia and Finland was brilliant and I would recommend it. Two recommendations: 1) Local guides should ALL have Whisper Systems. Some are really hard to hear, especially with a larger group and in some city areas. A couple of these were really hard to hear. 2) The Helsinki walks and local guide, Rebecca, was awful. Awful. We went over 2.5 hours in mid-day heat, was not given lunch break so it was 2:30 when we could finally eat. She walked extremely fast and did not wait for people-by the time the people in the back caught up she was walking again. No whisper system and she stopped in really loud intersections or by machinery so couldn't hear most of it. The pace was horrendous; we had a few older people who really struggled to keep up and I felt I was i training for a marathon; a fellow traveller said it felt like we were in a big hurry to go nowhere, another said boot camp exercise. She dragged us a long route to library when we could have taken a more direct shorter route or even taken tram to library to start. This was worst part of hole trip, 3people dropped out 25 minutes in. 5 of us left before it ended, maybe 30 minutes-found Luke and told him so he wasnt worried-and went for lunch,

    Luke Is an amazing tour leader. He is kind, fun, caring and so knowledgeable. He spends time getting to know all his group and makes everyone feel special. He keeps us well informed by using What's Ap as well as giving us the daily schedule. He finds the answer to everyone's question if he doesn't know it. We plan to travel with him next year in the Best of UK.
