I have no criticism of the trip. I’m not crazy about a flight day that subtracts a whole day from the trip experience, but I knew this. My favorite parts of the trip were the Norwegian fjord cruise, the Fram railway, the Vasa Museum.

It was my second trip to Europe, and my expectations were fulfilled. I'm soon to be 80, and am getting a late start on taking tours and trips of this kind. I'd like to start with my compliments to our tour guide, Lily. Her knowledge of the history of Denmark, Sweden and Norway was just the kind of experience I was hoping for. Her individual kindness and patience is very appreciated. We had ample time to complete our daily scheduled tours, with extra space for some places to go on our own. My personal bucket list item was to see Edvard Munch's paintings at the National Museum in Oslo, including one of his "The Scream" works and others. Stockholm also is a place that I'd love to spend more time in again. The food, everywhere, was excellent, as well as the hotel accomodations, living up to being surrounded by traditional lovely conditions. We were not hurried off from one destination to another, and had time for mingling with our fellow travelers-extremely enjoyable.Kathy Stoudt

There was too much time in the bus, but the real reason is that I found the hotels to be on average okay, but not great: one was terrible, one was excellent, and the rest were average.

There were a couple of hotels that were substandard specifically the Scandic in Copenhagen and the hotel in Leon, Norway (that is below Collette’s standards). The meals at the Leon hotel were also not to the liking of many. However, the Bristol hotel in Oslo was superb especially the meals.

Overall a great value for the inclusions of meals, tours, central and good quality hotel stays. Plus a great tour director and drivers. I was able to use their home to airport private transfers and they were great. We had air schedule changes on our return flights and their 24/7 help desk was no help unfortunately but I was able to work with the airlines directly to get home.

She gives one time to he downstairs the day before- the day of, she leaves whomever is not downstairs almost an hour before the time.

I would have like more narration about the locations we were driving through when we were on our long bus rides. I never really knew where we were. It would have been nice to have tidbits about the area as we drove. I asked the bus driver what was growing in a field and he had no idea. The drive up to the top of the mt. to view the fjord was great, the stave church, museums (but not enough time allowed for those - should have been at least 15-30 more minutes), the fjord cruise, - lots of interesting things. Loved the Loen hotel, spa, pools, etc.I would like to see more cultural events on these tours - like Norwegian dancers, musicians performing cultural type songs, etc.

This trip included coach, rail, and ferry travel which made for continually interesting views and scenic opportunities. One thing that our Tour Manager, made sure to do was to rotate bus seating every day using name tags. It works! It's not a radical change, but it made for a bit more mingling with our fellow travelers, rather than becoming cliquish. We had a great group! Our tour quide was also extremely knowledgeable, imparting history, geography and culture lessons in a painless way. We made numerous stops for photo ops, lunches, shopping and bathroom breaks. He also was very good at handling any personal problem that came up--he is empathetic, good-humored, and skilled at deflecting any sticky situations that might arise. He could also keep track of the times that cruise ships might be in port and arrange our arrivals and departures around them! We seldom had to fight crowds. The tour itinerary is very good. Yes, it involves living out of a suitcase, but it's living in some very, very nice places. One of them in particular, the Toftaholm Herrgard in Sweden was a favorite because of its location in the country--so peaceful--and its fine cuisine. We highly recommend this tour!Janet

Our favorite personal part of the tour was the beautiful scenery in Norway. I do not believe our trip would have been as wonderful with out our tour guide who was very knowledgeable, and went the extra mile to please each person. Colette should be very proud to have a tour guide like him. They have also included very interesting sites and history on this tour in each country. Our individual tour guides in different areas were also very good. I don't want to forget our bus drivers who were excellent , drove up and down mountains that I do not believe many of us could handle and were very helpful to all of us .Maureen
