Most Inspirational Moment
Swimming in the cold Baltic Sea and North Sea among the silent islands and Nordic nature. Discovering each culture individually, just a train or boat ride away from one another.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Nikolai was extremely organised, very knowledgeable about the history and geography of each country we visited including his native Norway, and eager to share his culture with us. He was so prepared that he even showed us a map of all the languages in the world to explain the different roots of Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish!
Advice for Potential Travellers
No need to have local currency in cash, all places take and even prefer card. ATMs are available in every city if needed. The guide gives great suggestions of what to visit locally during the free time in each place. You can also prepare a bit in advance as well if you want to make the most of it and head directly to the things you want to see. Try the traditional meatballs with gravy in Norway, fika with a cinnamon bun in Sweden, and the salmon soup in Helsinki. Pack your swimming gear!
