Santosh· January 5th, 2025Excellent tour. Well organised with minor details taken care of. The guide Inga and the driver Victor worked very hard to ensure we were well taken care of at every stage and stop of the journey. Appreciate the micro level planning that was done to make it all seamless. Hotels were largely good, except in Copenhagen where we found the room wanting. Otherwise, places / cities and attractions covered were also good - appreciate we don't have infinite time to cover more attractions in a city. Travel planning between cities was spot on with no overruns and time management for such a large group was also excellent. Apart from the hotel in CPH, the other feedback I have for the tour is regarding the itinerary information itself. I personally didn't know that the tour was progressing onwards to Finland, Estonia etc. There were many others in the tour group who were also not aware. I am sure some of us may have done bookings differently and covered more destinations.Show moreTrip date: December 2024- ARArthur· December 23rd, 2024Like was the best tour guide we ever had.

- Randi· September 19th, 2024Luke was an amazing tour leader. He made everything simple and fun. He made the bus rides enjoyable sharing his knowledge about the area and challenging us to some quizzes. He was always part of the group inviting us to join him for dinners or a beer instead of using his free time for himself. I cannot wait for our next tour with him as our guide.Show moreTrip date: September 2024

- DFDaniel· July 27th, 2023We paid full price for our tour and because we acknowledged we knew another couple also on the same tour, they place all four of us in a ferry cabin that was SO SMALL with fold down bunk beds, we could not all be in the room at the same time with our overnight backpacks. They enjoyed increasing their profits at the expense of our knowing another couple, and refused to credit both couples for %50 each of the single room we were charged for at the time of booking, well in advance to book individual rooms with the contracted ferry service. Do yourselves a favor, avoid Tour Radar and book directly with Expat Tours. Everyone else on our tour, 45+ people, were shocked at what Tour Radar did (although Tour Radar pointed the finger at Expat Tours). One person on our tour had a full executive suite to himself…..yet the four of us were crammed into what was nothing more than a closet with a tiny shower and toilet.Show moreTrip date: June 2023

Asked on June 25th, 2025Will the Norwegian Fjords Cruise be available for the tour departing on August 2nd? If we meet at 10AM on the first day, do we need to book separate accommodations for the night before? Will there be any transfers on the first or last day from the airport to the hotel?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written June 2025
The Viking Village and Norwegian Fjord Cruise are offered for the Tour with the August 2, 2025 start date. It can either be pre-booked or booked through the Tour Leader on Day 1 of the tour. If arriving a day before the tour's start, you will have to arrange your Pre-tour accommodations. We recommend using public transport for airport-to-hotel transportation. If you prefer a transfer service, you can book through Welcome Pickups.

Asked on March 25th, 2025Can you explain the sleeping accommodations on the overnight ferry? And do all buses have toilets?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written March 2025
For the Scandinavian Escape tour, the overnight ferry accommodation consists of shared cabins with private bathrooms. Even-numbered groups (traveling in pairs) will be accommodated together in the same cabin. Solo travelers will be paired with another traveler of the same gender unless they opt for a single supplement upgrade (subject to availability). The ferry also offers various facilities, including restaurants, lounges, and onboard shops, ensuring a comfortable journey. Regarding buses, all our modern, air-conditioned coaches are equipped with onboard restrooms, though they are intended for emergency use. The tour includes regular stopovers every 2.5-3 hours, allowing travelers to stretch, use restrooms, and grab refreshments. However, exact stop times may vary depending on the route, traffic, and itinerary.

Juan
Traveler•Written March 2025So if I'm traveling with my husband, we will have our own cabin? Or share with another couple?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written March 2025
Yes, the cabin is for two people in a twin-share setup, so you and your husband will have your own private cabin.
- J
Juan
Traveler•Written March 2025one final question. i see that travel insurance is required and there are specifics regarding Quarantine Expenses and Emergency and Covid-19. are these still relevant? I don't tend to see this coverage on most policies.
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written March 2025
When you sign up for an Expat Explore tour, you are required to secure adequate travel insurance cover for the duration of your trip. If you cannot provide the Expat Explore team with a proof of adequate travel insurance prior to the start of your tour, you will not be permitted to embark on day one. Travel insurance should be as much a part of your travel preparation as packing your camera, sunglasses and passport! Incidents can happen from flight and baggage delays to injuries and sickness. Travel insurance gives you (and us) peace of mind, and, for this reason we make it compulsory for all Expat Explore passengers.

Asked on January 3rd, 2025Can we end tour on day 8 Oslo and travel to other places since we have been to Stockholm. For the tour do we pay gratuity to tour guide?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written January 2025
Travelers can choose to leave the tour early. However, since our Tours are sold as a package, we cannot offer any discounts for customers who leave the tour early. Tipping is a normal part of the culture in many countries. We suggest somewhere between £4-£6, €5-€7 or $6-$8 per person per day. Tipping is entirely voluntary. If you take a walking tour with a local guide, tipping these guides at the end of walking tours and excursions is always appreciated, but not expected.

Jay
Asked on November 23rd, 2024Are there other transport costs other than the flights to arrive in Copenhagen at the beginning and the flight from Stockholm to home at the end?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written November 2024
While on the tour, transportation is primarily through our own Coach/Bus. However, there might be times that the group will have to take Public Transport guided by the tour leader but that will also be already part of the package. The only times that a customer will have to pay for their transportation is when they want to explore on their own during Free Days.
