What travelers are saying

"It was a very eventful itinerary that allowed us to see 8 countries in two weeks. The tour was very fast paced in order to accomplish the advertised program and it felt rushed. In order to travel to 8 different European countries, you have to expect that there will be a lot of coach seat/drive time. Our tour guide Jemma and coach driver Gabriel were very professional and focused on meeting Expat Explore’s tour destination requirements. Jemma always provided interesting information and tips about the cities and sites that we were visiting. Our driver Gabriel always got us to our destinations on time and safely. The included and optional excursions were conducted at a moderate to swift walking speed, at some places there was no time to take pictures. Some of us found it difficult to keep up with the group, and once caught up to the group, who were at a stopping/rest point, it was time to resume the walking tour which did not allow some of us to catch our breath. You have to keep in mind that this tour is a “budget” tour. With that in mind, some hotels were sub-standard. The Paris hotel had mold in the shower. As expected, some hotels did not have air-conditioning, and other hotels which did have air conditioning were not adequately able to cool the room. The included tour dinners and lunches were very average. We had better dining experiences when we were left on our own when we used our free time. Overall, we were pleased to see all European countries/cities/sites included in the tour. This review was submitted to Expat Explore to be posted. I believe that Expat Explore only posts 4 and 5 stars reviews on their website which gives a misleading impression of the services they provide."

"Hello , first there is no airport transfer at all as they mentioned in the trip program , no one waited us at the airport as they mentioned that we should provide them with the flight schedule but unfortunately they neglected this service for arrivals and for departures as well , the level of the hotel in Lyon is under expected maybe 2 stars , the hotels are somewhat away from the city center which makes the transportation for the clients cost more and waste of time , the guide was very quick in her steps without even looking at the families and children and not being able to follow her . Rather , she was even quick to finish the designated program , such as presenting a program that was supposed to be for tomorrow and presenting it without justification , making one day crowded with her program and the second day on the contrary i.e there may be only one visit as it happened in changing visiting Eifel tower although it was late afternoon and the line was so crowded that took around 2 hours waited in line in order to gets tickets for the whole group while it was supposed to be on the 2nd day with scène river cruise , the stoppage in some cities as Geneva needs more than only 2 hours time while stoppage in between the cities in the rural area needs less than that time gave it to us .no flexibility in changing the program after booking even for a more advanced and valued trips ( changing not cancelling ) , it must be a meeting prepared for the group in a lobby of the hotel the night before or even if 1 hour before getting into the buses as a type of acquaintance and introduction between the members of the group ."

What travelers are saying

"This was the first organized tour my husband and I have ever joined, so we were not sure what to expect , but it turned out to be the best vacation we've ever had. The scenery and food were amazing. We stayed in beautiful hotels. Most of the riding was on paved bike paths so we hardly ever had to deal with car traffic. Our leaders, Andrea and Martin, were funny, informative , and so helpful. We are already planning to go back to Italy with VBT this summer."

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

What travelers are saying

"The tour we did for a week with Gennaro as our guide completely exceeded our expectations. The group was such a lovely group and Gennaro was the perfect guide. His passion and knowledge of his homeland was both informative and a pleasure to learn about. We would highly recommend the tour. The organisation was fantastic with Gennaro changing the itinerary to suit the conditions which made every day great. After spending 4 weeks in Italy we can honestly say the walking tour week was our favourite. Highlights were out day at Ravello and really enjoyed the pizza and pasta making nights. So much fun."

Additional details

Weather in Scandinavia

Summer is the peak tourist season in Scandinavia. In July, a popular month for tourism, the average daily temperatures range from 55 F to 72 F in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark.

Whereas winters can drop to a low 20 degrees when days are short and many sights and activities are on a limited schedule. Unless you're a hibernating polar bear, looking to hit the slopes, or have a hankering to see the winter sports plan accordingly if booking during this time.

Seeing the Northern Lights in Scandinavia

If you wish to see the Northern Lights in Scandinavia the best months to go would be between mid-October and March and the best times to see it would be from 11pm to 2am. The further south in Scandinavia you go, the less likely you will get to see it, because there is more light in the months before and after winter. The northern half of Norway and Sweden, and all of Iceland, are recognized as being the best places to view this phenomenon.

Top Cities in Scandinavia

Cities here are very unique. Stockholm, or as locals call it “beauty on water”, is known for its viking history, unique art, and beautiful scenery. You can take a bike tour around the city, sail the archipelago, and even take a moose and wildlife safari to see the surrounding wildlife Stockholm has to offer.

Copenhagen, a great place to visit all year round starting as a winter wonderland then melting away, transforming into a summer dream. Explore the city like a local on a bike where bikes outnumber cars 3:1.

Oslo is known for its lush greenery and museums.  It is one of Europe’s most happening music scenes with more concerts than any other Scandinavian city.

If you have an obsession for Santa Claus, then Rovaniemi is a city you must visit. It is known as the official home town of Santa Claus. It’s also a great place to witness the Northern Lights. In this winter wonderland you can visit Santa Claus Village, take a sleigh ride to the Northern Lights, and even go on a reindeer safari.

What are the countries in Scandinavia?

Countries include Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Iceland is not technically part of Scandinavia, but it is often included when people talk about the region due to its historical, cultural and linguistic ties to the countries.

If English is your first language then you are in luck! Scandinavian languages consist of Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian, but they begin to study English in school at a young age and most speak it very well.
