We had an excellent experience on our trip with Trafalgar.

Thanks to Trafalgar and our guide, the Scandinavia tour was a trip of a lifetime. I would highly recommend

The hotels (except Marriott hotel) are not impressed, no a/c. If I know in advance I will not book it

Too many Optional Packages. Some of these packages could have been included in the tour. Otherwise, the trip was to our expectations. 

Should have been warned about lack of A/C at most hotels.

Everything about the tour was terrific.

The Trafalgar tour of Scandinavian countries was probably the best choice to visit three countries - Denmark, Norway and Sweden in less than two weeks and yet be able to travel through the most spectacular sights in the world. We traveled by bus, boat, train and a combination of these modes - bus on a boat! All the hotels offered good breakfast and some of the USA based chains were far superior to the local ones in terms of amenities they offered such as coffee pots in the room or tea/coffee. Otherwise the service was quite good. Trafalgar's tour director and the driver were exceptionally professional, efficient and knowledgeable. All in all, a good trip with lots of memories.

director was a great multi-tasker and certainly had a lot of problems to contend with - great job!

Of the six tours we have taken with Trafalgar, this one scored at the bottom of the list. Everything was very well done and the tour director was excellent, but somehow the Scandinavian trip lacked the excitement of former trips. The fjords and Norwegian mountains were beautiful, but the optional offerings were not as interesting as those in other tours. There was also a second Trafalgar bus that followed about fifteen or twenty minutes behind us which made the stops crowded. It was as though there were 96 people on the tour instead of 48. There were separate tour directors, but I definitely didn't like the second bus. I do believe that Trafalgar is an excellent company...it's just that this tour didn't meet our expectations.

As a retired, single woman, I am so comfortable traveling solo with Trafalgar on their various tours. Absolutely loved last year's tour of England & Scotland with Military Tatoo experience, just finished Scandinavia & Fjords tour with the enjoyment of May 17 Constitution Heritage Days experience, and am looking forward to Grand Italian Experience tour this Sept. 2016. Thanks for great trips & memories.

This was our 5th trip with Trafalgar. We were a bit disappointed with the overall experience. Many of the rooms were not up to the standard we had received in the past. As well as the hotel staff. We didn't think this tour guide was as good as the previous tours. The optional tours were all very excellent. We will probably give Trafalgar another try because of the past positive experiences.

Very little time and very few included sightseeing, most of the time was used for optional excursions.

A new bus without foot rests was not comfortable.

Above and beyond my expectations. The tour guide was informative, courteous, fun, and shared lots of interesting information along the way.

Trafalgar was outstanding and will be my "go to" providers in the future. This was a truly wonderful trip with lasting memories. I've already recommended it to others!
