Looking for feedback on RS 14 day Scandinavian trip. Did you enjoy the trip? Did you enjoy each destination along the way? Any other thoughts appreciated. We are a couple in our 70s and this woul be our first RS trip. We are particularly interested in seeing Norway.
Thanks in advance.

I took this tour in 2015, and it’s pretty much the same tour now. I was kind of so so about taking the trip but my travel mates wanted to go. We are from Wisconsin so when we landed in Sweden, one of my friends said we traveled all this way to see home. Ha ha ha ha. Anyway I really enjoyed everything about the trip far more than I thought I would. I would definitely recommend the tour.

I'll be doing the Scandinavia tour in August. As with the others I have taken, I read the daily itinerary and the reviews on the tour page and feel that gives me a good idea of things.
There are always going to be things that some people love, but others think are just okay. I frequently find that something I was iffy about turns out to be great.

I just returned from this trip and it was wonderful, especially Denmark! I would go back to Copenhagen and Aero in a heartbeat. The only negative I have is the 3 towns we only had 1 night in - we arrived later in the evening after long bus days, so didn't have enough time to really experience the cities, which was disappointing. I thought all 3 countries were beautiful and clean, and met a lot of very friendly people. Public transportation was plentiful, easy to use and much of it was electric, which was really cool. I booked extra food tours and boat/canal/fjord tours through Get Your Guide and Viator, and these were all great. I didn't take any cash and never needed it - never once touched cash or my cards, as everything is contactless and I could just use my phone for everything. Our tour guide and bus driver were wonderful also! I had so much fun and am already planning my next trip to include Denmark.
