    The hotels were a variable of average to low standard & to far away from the City Centres & restaurants. The time on the bus each day was far to long. You barely got a chance to see each town when stopped for the night.

    I thought the coach was fabulous, so much leg room and the seats were very comfortable. I loved that you could charge your phone sitting in the seat. The tour guide was knowledgeable and always made me feel safe. The coach driver was extremely competent, he managed those hairpin bends in Norway beautifully. I thought most of the hotels we stayed in were excellent.

    Jane H, our tour director was fantastic, professional & very good assisting everyone, regardless of their country of origin. Robert was a skilled & careful driver. Key constructive comment is that the first and last accommodation should be closer to town. Copenhagen Scandic Slusammen was a nightmare to get to from the central train station. None of the bus drivers in the No7 or another bus had a clue where we meant. You need to do your homework as this hotel didn't offer Sunday dinner & no local eateries around. This could be addressed by providing a bus into town with return 2.5/3 hrs later. Better to charge a few extra dollars than the negative feedback you'll be receiving regarding this issue. One KEY POINT is that you need to list the address of each hotel on your app, not just their name & this would help, particularly as we discovered there were so many Scandic hotels. The standard of all of the hotels were excellent, as were the meals included. We both felt it was good value for money.

    Tour guide Anna was fantastic. Tour driver Robert was great. Tour was amazing, I loved it all. Hotels were terrific. Hotel location in three capital cities however were way too far from the city centre. In Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm. I know it is due to the price, but these hotels were at least 5 to 10km out of the city centre and in out of the way locations not on great public transport. It would be great if these hotels were closer to the city allowing travellers to get into the city centre easily.
