Editor’s Take
Most trip reviews tend to focus on some or all of these 5 key areas, not all of which may be relevant to you: the tour guide, travel company, service level, country or countries traveled in, and the trip itinerary.
Remember, just because you see a 1 star review doesn’t necessarily mean that person disliked the country.
Reviews for Scandinavia give entirely positive feedback. Travelers exclaim how friendly and informative the tour guides were as well as commenting on the beautiful scenery. Many people recommend going and some even say they plan on going back!
The reviews that gave a 4 out of 5 seemed to mostly say that they felt time at certain cities could have been allocated to other things or spent at other cities. But this is completely bias and it will be up to you to determine which city you will be fond of depending on your type of travel.
A couple reviews spoke negatively about their visit to Aland Islands saying that it was closed for the season. While it is a beautiful place to see during summer and actually receives more sunshine hours than anywhere else in Scandinavia, the days are short in winter and there isn't much for a traveler to do. I would either prepare for this if your itinerary includes it or try to avoid it if visiting during winter altogether.
