We don’t like to brag, so we’ll let our happy customers do it for us.

Our second tour with Nordic Visitor

Sofia was very, very helpful. This is our second tour with Nordic Visitor. Last year we went to Greenland was impressed with Nordic Visitor and booked another vacation. The location of hotels and quality of hotels was excellent. All hotels were close to train stations and also close to tourist activities. As this was our first time to Sweden, Denmark and Norway I did have questions and Sofia was very quick to answer them. This is our type of vacation as we prefer self guided over group tours. I would recommend your company and in fact have already done so. Again, a big thank you to Sofia.

Completely lived up to our expectations

Irja was wonderful! She put our trip together perfectly and our entire visit from one country to the next was seamless. It could not have been any easier or well coordinated. My emails were responded to promptly and all my questions were answered thoroughly and with patience. I usually plan all my trips myself but it was so nice to let Irja know what I wanted and let her do all the tedious planning and booking. It was really amazing and our trip completely lived up to our expectations! I feel like a spoiled traveler now because Irja took a lot of the travel planning headache away from me and she did a really great job. We really appreciated the complimentary upgrades too!

Sweden, Norway & Denmark

We just returned from an awesome nine day trip with visits to Stockholm, Copenhagen and Oslo. Cecilia from Nordic Visitor coordinated the trip including transporation between the cities and hotels. She even coordinated a last minute change during our trip. Overall, we had a great trip and are very happy with our expereince with Cecilia and Nordic Visitor. Thanks!

High degree of professionalism

Probably the most important service I received was Cecilia's prompt answers to all my questions. My requests were handled expeditiously. As for the accommodations, they ranged from very good to excellent. Of particular note is the fact that Cecilia had to react quickly to hotel employees' strike at one of the hotels. She quickly found arranged for me to stay at another hotel, which was most impressive (both her ability to improvise and the quality of the hotel). She was also quite helpful in recommending certain places of interest to visit and the advisability of purchasing city passes for transportation and sightseeing.

No complications & loved every moment

We felt that every aspect of our contact with you was professional and excellent and are very pleased we chose to book through you. There were no complications, errors, annoyances. We had a marvelous time in the three beautiful capital cities and loved every moment of our travels in them. We were especially impressed by the friendliness, courtesy and exemplary English spoken.

We had a wonderful time

I was very impressed with the service and everything went smoothly. I loved not having to think about how or when we were getting to another country because all of the details were taken care of by Nordic Visitor. Overall I think you guys did an incredible job! We had a wonderful time exploring on our own.
