Nordic / Scandinavia Tour Companies

Well done. Very organized.

Highly recommend this tour. I had the best time with an awesome group of people from all over the world.

For technically only 3 days of tour activities, we were able to see and experience many different things. Funny and knowledgable tour guide.

Incredible trip, great CEO who was fun, patient and knowledgeable.

Yes ...the tour was fantastic... Very well organized... Hotels are fantastic... Best of all the guide K.N.Bijo...he was the best guide I came across... He is very knowledgeable... friendly... I was amazed by his multitasking abilities at the same time giving best friendly service lvto fellow passengers... I like to mention one particular service he provided... I accidentally forgot to pick up my main luggage at Copenhagen hotel... All my important staffs were there... He worked with me constantly to get the luggage back.. but as ups is not able to deliver the luggage on time.. he talked to the management of Copenhagen hotel to keep it in safe custody.. eventually after a month when tour ends. I picked up the luggage from hotel. .during an after the tour ... He was communicating with hotel about the luggage and provided updates to me.... I think he went beyond his regular duty to help a fellow passengers.. his always similing compassionate face is engraved in my mind...In my opinion I will definitely tell that he is the best tour guide and I am grateful to Tour radar for providing best of best service...prabir saha

Whilst I thin the places were interesting and some of the tour guides were very helpful and knowledgable the most unfortunate part is where they 'dump' you in the middle of the town centre and then tell you to make your own way back to your hotel. In smaller countries like Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania you can manage on foot to get back to your hotel however when in Poland and Warsaw it was a terrible shock in that we were 'dumped' at the old city and told to make our own way back some 6 klm away, so we could walk, take taxi or ride tram. The tram seemed to be the most economical but not knowing where to get off was up to us non speaking polish traveller. The Polish people were not interested in helping any tourists in fact we are seen as just a nuisance!!. For the next 2 hours I walked the pavement asking and trying to read the google map to find Raddison Blue Hotel in central Warsaw. I cannot believe that you think this is acceptable and this virtually spoilt the whole trip in addition to the fact that of the 12 people on the tour 9 were english speaking, 2 Portuguese and 1 spanish so guess what were english speaking tourists were then subjected to constant speech information in Portuguese/Spanish and then in the end the English speaing guide would provide some info. It became a monotonous drone of some foreign language for the benefit of the 3 non english speaking tourists. Would I recommend this trip/company ....NO.

the first three days I was made to stay in a room that reeked of sewer so bad that staff didn’t enter, and the TD didn’t care. On the first night we had to line up for our dinner, and many of us received nothing! as the other travellers had helped themselves to the one quiche and one pie (for group of 45) available & TD didn’t want to pay for more. He repeatedly put me in the same shared bed as a travelling stranger who had CP and required immense support but the TD asked me to assist instead of stepping in. When half the bus got severely sick, the TD refused to provide refund for optionals or call for a doctor. He removed trafalgar optional & slipped in unsanctioned dinner at a friend’s. He made us porter at awkward spots even after hotel confirmed this as a service. The optionals are to museums or to statues where it’s overcrowded, loud, and after five minutes you’re left to wander and explore a building with one insignificant ship or pictures of objects on your own but not with significant time. Over half travelling were 75/80+ and the old Americans often made extremely sexual and racist comments, and the TD did nothing!! Do the trip, skip the optionals, go with a company that’s not Trafalgar

Overpriced, unethically sold tour with false tour description and hidden costs. Not worth even 50% of the original price paid. Total waste of money, time and energy.

I'm giving excellent rating for the tour. There were a little hitch with regard to pick ups.

Excellent tour of a beautiful country. Tour was well planned and the stops were just amazing! The guide, Chris Webb, was knowledgeable and had plenty of stories to share to keep us entertained during the tour.

Overall organization could be improved in various ways like better quality hotels, food and sightseeing plans.

Excellent 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.

Like was the best tour guide we ever had. He was knowledgeable, entertaining and a lot of fun to be with!

This trip was a bucket list trip and Insight Vacations made it an absolutely incredible experience. Our tour guide Maja was the best and made the trip wonderful!

We booked an Insight vacation tour to Scandinavia and fjords last July. i will start by saying that it is a major RIP OFF. We paid 6500 USD per person for a 15 (14 nights) day tour. That is around 928 USD per night per couple. Our hotels are supposed to be 4-5 stars but our rooms were average to bad! No aircon, no view (most of our view was the back of the building where they dump garbage, or the carpark). The rooms probably cost 150-200 USD a night at most. i even looked up our rooms on agoda or booking and some are not listed, probably because they are so bad. Only after contacting Insight head office on the 8th day, that the room quality improved. The 2 hour "city tours" that are included in the package is basically a 2 hour ride on the bus, with a guide pointing out landmarks and various places of interest. it was so fast you can't even take a proper photo. In Copenhagen, we passed by the iconic Nyhavn for 3 seconds! Good thing we arrived Copenhagen a few days before the tour and had a proper tour around the city on our own. You also have to pay for "optional experiences" like museum visits (which were worth it) and things like swedish meatballs dinner (that we didn't participate in and didn't regret because the ones that went, said it was underwhelming, old and dusty.) Our tour director was inefficient, condescending, basically insulted some of her previous clients, talked to us like we were children, would not let anyone use the toilet on the bus (ONLY FOR EMERGENCY - i can still hear her voice in my head since she told us every single day). she was also constantly arguing with our bus driver and it was so awkward to listen to. There is so much more that was wrong with the tour. I am writing this review because I don't want anyone else to waste their money on this tour. It was a horrible experience (not only for me, but most of our tour mates). After we emailed insight, they said someone will get back to us within 28 days. What a joke, and i realised later that it because after 28 days you can no longer leave them a review on Feefo. I can and am happy to provide photos of the rooms and additional evidence like email correspondence with them.

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.

Generally pretty good -some parts better than others

This was a great trip overall. I would prefer to write a personal review directly to the tour company with suggestions of improvement, but I’m not sure where to do that or who to write it to (Trafalgar or Costsaver). Especially for one major issue! Prayfully they will let me know. It was just not long enough in the great places and to long in others. Many agreed. Just the same, I would recommend this trip to anyone! Amazing sceneries! Nice people. I would have preferred it be reinforced by the tour director for everyone to be respectful and hygienic when coughing or sneezing. Again, a great trip overall!

Our guide was very informative, friendly and well organised. The bus driver was excellent. The itinerary was great and I loved the early starts so that no time is wasted.

I was lucky enough to have Contiki Ri as my manager for the European Dicovery tour in July, since my friend who knows her recommended her and I also follow her on the Teachergram world! Wow, I was so impressed with how fun she shared the knowledge of the places we visited with a fun twist on educating us and not feeling like we’re being bored by a history lesson. Ri was professional, authentic, super kind and enthusiastic! Always with a beaming smile and up for any challenge that definitely comes with the gig of organising adults, big children! I would highly recommend her as a super manager and so deserving for this award!

Anique is great. Itinerary could be better

Many parts of the itinerary were changed last minute, and it felt like I was the one confirming the day’s activities. My transport to the airport on my last day did not show, and I had to find my own transport at 6 am.
