  Vision of Scandinavia & The Baltics Tour (18 July – 3 August 2025) We recently completed the Vision of Scandinavia & The Baltics tour (18 July to 3 August 2025), and we thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience from start to finish. The itinerary offered a fantastic balance of organized sightseeing and free time in most locations, which gave us the opportunity to explore at our own pace while still benefiting from insightful guided tours. We really appreciated the variety in transportation—traveling by coach, ferry, ship, and train added a nice dynamic to the journey and made getting from place to place an enjoyable part of the adventure. The hotels were generally very good, comfortable, and well-located. While one or two could have used better air conditioning—especially considering the relatively warm weather we experienced for the region—this was a minor issue and didn’t detract from the overall experience. Breakfasts at the hotels were excellent across the board, offering a great start to each day. The Scandinavian portion of the tour had a group of 26 people, and it was a pleasure getting to know our fellow travelers (a mix of Aussies, Americans, Canadians, NZ, Irish and Italians ranging mainly from 37-78 years old, a 2 younger ones in their 20s). When that part of the tour ended, the group continued with just eight of us for the Baltic segment. We’re so glad we opted to include the Baltics—this portion was equally fascinating and rewarding. Each destination brought something unique, and we learned so much about the culture, history, and everyday life in each place we visited. If we had one small suggestion for improvement, it would be to allow more time in Helsinki. Our visit there was limited to around two hours on a city sightseeing bus, which felt a bit rushed considering the richness of the city. Overall, the tour was absolutely fantastic—well-organized, engaging, and enriching. We came away with a deeper understanding of the regions we visited and countless wonderful memories. Highly recommended!

  Excellent itinerary, quality hotels with very good breakfasts. Comfortable transportation. Local guides were exceptional. I only wish we were given the opportunity to upgrade our hotel rooms to rooms with a view. I highly recommend this tour!
