The itinerary was very varied which included the beautiful Fjords , lovely country sides of all three countries, small towns and cities with ancient centers. We were given private tours of the Vasa ancient ship museum, backstage at the Oslo Opera, a lovely piano concert, a lovely six course dinner in an antique restaurant. I enjoyed the company of the group who were all all congenial and friendly. My complaint was about several hotels we stayed in during the trip. One room was extremely small and no place to put my clothes. The bathroom shower was very small and the room didn’t have one shelf to put cosmetics. I paid for a room which should have been a double not a monastic single! We did many hours on the coach to go from one area to another which was tiring. Our concierge guide was wonderful and knew so much about each place we visited. Showed us videos relating to all the areas we would visit. I would recommend this trip however, I think some of the accommodations were lovely and comfortable, however, the company needs to insure that all accommodations are comfortable in light of what we paid for the trip. Yes, I would take other Luxury Gold excursions because of the many beautiful moments we had on this journey.

Excellent! I chose this trip because of the varied cities and experiences in Scandinavia. Of the 6 hotels, 4 were very good. Our guide Joel was very knowledgeable and helpful. The highlight for me was Norway! From the flight from exciting Stockholm to beautiful Bergen - to the fjord cruise and perfect hotel in Gieranger. The only thing I was disappointed in were some of the group dinners. Giving people the choice of reindeer or halibut or inedible steak or rare hake was not a good choice. Food choices at Hotel Geiranger were FABULOUS! I would certainly consider Luxury Gold again.

No accommodation was made for my slow ambulation due to r.a. Cobblestones and inclines were painful.
