Trip: Spectacular Scandinavia & its Fjords (E941) Date: 28 Aug 2022   1 , Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Aug 2022
Overall, booking our holiday through Global Journeys was very smooth going, thanks to the good service extended by Hannah Campbell. We have had a wonderful time travelling with Insight Vacations, interacting with so many friendly nationalities across the globe. The Itinerary was however a bit tight and tiring after journeying the long hours on the road. ...read more Hotel rooms were relatively small. Time spent in Copenhagen was adequate. Could have another night in Stockholm and Oslo as arrival was late in the evening. Spectacular scenery across Norway. Optional experiences were well selected but bit pricy. Towns like Bergen and Geiranger was exceptionally scenic and should include additional night stay.
Memorable tour of Scandinavia 1 , QLD, Australia, Jun 2019
The tour was well organised and our tour director and driver were superb. The highlights of the tour were the Norwegian fjords. Accommodation was satisfactory however some hotels were not up to the standard we have previously experienced with Insight Vacations. Scandinavian countries are cashless - we used only credit cards. The weather varied a lot: ...read more Copenhagen and Oslo were hot, the rest unseasonably cold. Our fellow travellers were mostly from USA and Australia/New Zealand and we got along very well. The optional tours were well attended. The optional tours: The Troll's Road and Fjord at Dalsnibba should have been included at no extra cost. Many thanks to Hannah from Global Journeys.
Wonderful Scandinavia   3 , VIC, Australia, Jun 2019
Thank you Jemma and Global Journeys for arranging the tour of Scandinavia for me with Insight. Global advertised the tour dates before they were available on the other web sites so I was able to get in early and secure my spot. Insight are a very good operator and took it from there. Accommodation and optional tours were all brilliant and Scandinavia ...read more put on the best show. It was a full coach of people from Australia, NZ, USA, Canada and a family from Indonesia. Everyone was made to feel welcome by Joey, our tour director. An excellent adventure!
Worry free holiday!   3 , NSW, Australia, May 2018
The weather in Scandinavia was fantastic; so good that it probably would never be repeated. To be in Bergen on Norwegian National Day (17 May) was a highlight and something that I would recommend to anyone travelling to this area. Copenhagen is a dynamic and interesting city - very different to Australia.
Fabulous Holiday to Scandinavia and the Fjords of Norway 6 , VIC, Australia, Aug 2017
We have a wonderful Insight Tour Experience, travelling through Denmark, Sweden and then onto Norway and the Fjords. The tour guide and tour driver and local guides made sure we had a unique experience and learnt much about the local culture and natural aspects of the country visits. The unique experiences at the various stops and additional photo opportunities ...read more made the journey so enjoyable, helped by the humour of the Driver and The Tour Guide. Also, thanks to Hannah at Global Journeys for making our booking experience so delightful, her follow up was always great and timely. What a great holiday.
Wonderful trip through Scandinavia   1 , VIC, Australia, Aug 2017
Wonderful trip through Scandinavia' s Historical Capitals, countryside and magnificent mountains and fjords.

Highlights for us were Copenhagen, Stockholm and Bergen then the picturesque snow capped mountains and the exciting drives up and down the bending mountain roads in the hands of a very experienced driver.
