Is this trip right for you?

The areas visited on this trip can be very cold at night throughout the year, especially at the start and end of the season. Please bring appropriate clothing for adverse weather conditions, including base layers, hat, gloves, scarf, coat and anything else that will keep you cosy.
verified
Scandinavia can be an expensive destination in many ways, from museum entrance fees to optional activities, but especially in terms of eating out. Your leader will be able to advise on how to have the best value holiday in Scandinavia.
verified
Space is at a premium in Europe and your hotel is no exception. Rooms are often small, but usually the central location makes up for that. For those travelling as a duo, hotels often don't have double beds, but rather two single beds that can be pushed together. Occasionally bathrooms will be shared with other guests.
verified
On this trip we predominantly travel by public transport therefore we recommend packing light and smart for this trip as you'll be required to carry your own luggage between train stations, ferry ports and hotels, which can include going up and down multiple flights of stairs, and across cobblestones. Train stations often don’t have lifts available.
verified
There isn’t much time in Oslo and Copenhagen on this trip - extra time is recommended for both cities. Please consult with your agent about booking additional accommodation in both cities (subject to availability).
verified
This trip gives you a taster of southern Scandinavia which doesn't cover the Norwegian Fjords. If you would like to explore further you may want to consider looking at our longer trips - Copenhagen to Northern Norway, Scandinavia & Baltic Circuit, Complete Scandinavia.

What a wonderful experience! Seeing the highlights of Denmark, Sweden and Norway.
We were lucky enough to have a Trip leader and 2 Trainees who made every aspect of the journey enjoyable.
Would very much recommend as a taste tester!

This is just what the title says, "A Taste of Scandinavia". It is a well-planned itinerary to see the highlights of Scandinavia. Definitely recommend adding a day in the beginning and end of tour.

Traveling to Scandinavian can seem overwhelming, but this tour made it so fun and enjoyable! We saw 3 incredible countries, did many excursions, and learned so much. I loved it!

Excellent trip. Great inclusions, but also provided opportunity to explore yourself. Just be weary that a lot of the trip is cities and towns, it’s not nature focused. We had a wonderful time, and were able to experience a lot of the culture. We had a knowledgeable and kind tour leader who made the trip very comfortable, and stress-free.

Intrepid is a solid tour company. They have small group with a max of 12 people. The guides are very good and in general the travelers have experience traveling and are positive people. Their itineraries are good. I like their approach of doing a guided tour and then free time in the afternoon. A solid company with reasonable prices. NO single supplement. They will match you with a same sex room mate.
