This was a great introductory trip for someone who has never been to Scandinavia. The tour is not a large group tour, but for small groups, in our case, family, sometimes joined by other small groups for some activities. We visited Denmark, Norway and Sweden, did biking and walking tours of the cities, had several ferry rides to different places, mainly along the Songefjord, along with some scenic train rides. A lavish breakfast buffet was included and the logistics were impeccable. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a 'land' (not cruise) tour of Scandinavia.

Our trip to Scandinavia was a marvelous experience, thanks to the outstanding expertise and service provided by Discover Scandinavia Tours. We would like to highlight the following strengths of DST's plan for our trip:
-- A masterful overall design for how best to experience Scandinavia in a two week period, characterized by an ideal pace and rhythm for the journey.
-- Excellent specific choices of destinations, activities and providers along with ample free time to explore locations on our own.
-- Perfect selection of hotels in terms of their locations, placing us within easy walking distance of most attractions and transportation hubs.
-- Flawless implementation of plans, e.g., all reservations and vouchers were honored, private transfer drivers arrived on time, and all trains and boats departed as scheduled.
-- Timely, thoughtful and responsive communications with us, in general and in response to our questions, both before and during the trip.

My wife and I initially booked our Scandinavian tour for April of 2020, which was ... rough timing. Throughout all of the rapidly changing plans and COVID travel restrictions, Marcelo, Shawnna and crew were absolutely great. They communicated well, were flexible, and handled a ton of booking and rebooking, and really just took care of all the details. They were total lifesavers.
We finally got to go on our trip in May of 2022, and it was decidedly worth the wait. We loved everywhere we visited, were impressed with all the thoughtful touches along the way, and absolutely would book with Discover Scandinavia again in a heartbeat.

Our Scandinavia trip finally came to pass after waiting through the pandemic. Our DST trip was seamless. From being picked up at the airport in Copenhagen to being brought to the Stockholm airport 2 weeks later every hotel, ferry, train, flight, city pass, luggage transfer, and tour was perfectly selected, planned and paid ahead of time for us. 3 countries and never exchanged a cent of currency. Having posted so many of our sights on line I have several friends asking for our itinerary! One should still do one’s homework to customize what you do with your ample free time. We did not continue to Finland but chose to stay in Stockholm longer. From Copenhagen, to Oslo and Norway’s fiords and Balestrand, Bergen then Stockholm made us want to return for a further look at all 3 of these fabulous countries. Thank you Shawnna, Marcelo and the whole team at DST!
