Scandinavia Tours From USA

Zicasso’s travel specialist was outstanding and helpful through the whole process. The trip met all of our needs. It was well planned out and hit the highlights of each city (Oslo to Flåm to Bergen).

The accommodations in each location were outstanding and when we had a question, we got prompt responses. From our hotel in Oslo (centrally located, quaint and small boutique) to the waterside hotel in Flåm with epic views and a great restaurant, to our hotel in Bergen overlooking the Brygge UNESCO site and 1,000km to the Floibergen, the rooms were clean, comfortable, and really great.

The walking tours in Oslo and Bergen were great. The air, train, and bus transits were smooth (after a first-day Oslo arrival snafu, which was not the travel company’s problem, but which was resolved effectively by the travel specialist) throughout the entire trip.

The recommendations for activities (not included) were great, with the highlights being the Oslo Cultural Museum. I took hundreds of photos and came home with countless great memories.

Thank you for putting together a great trip to Norway.

The trip was superb. From the planning stage to the execution of plans, it surpassed our expectations. Zicasso’s travel specialist gave us a great holiday which encapsulated all we'd asked for and which ran seamlessly. We loved it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Scandinavia. It was everything we’d hoped for and more!

The hotels were all well located and the star of the trip was our boutique lodge in Alta, Norway. The attentive staff, the food… everything was exceptional! They worked non-stop trying to make our stay the best it could be. As a primary motivation for the trip was to see the Northern Lights, the ease of this in this unique setting was wonderful. We only had to step outside of our cabin to check whether the lights were active or not. No hours-long excursion to escape light pollution was necessary as it is in other destinations.

The excursions we did partake in—the fjord cruise, the husky safari, and a tour of the igloo hotel—were also well run and very enjoyable. Zicasso’s travel specialist hit it out of the park!

This was our second trip with Zicasso’s travel specialist and, like the first trip, it was amazing. She found us a new boutique lodge in the middle of a forest above the Arctic Circle for what was originally planned as a Northern Lights viewing experience. The lights did not disappoint (brilliant on each of our first three nights), but they turned out to be just the icing on the cake.

The daytime activities for each of our four days were fantastic: fjord cruise, Sami experience, meeting with a reindeer rancher and learning about the Sami history and culture (including a reindeer sled ride), Alaskan husky dogsled experience, and snowmobiling to a plateau that felt like the North Pole. Plus snowshoe hiking through the woods at the lodge.

Our boutique lodge above the Arctic Circle was an amazing place. Our cabin, with its own sauna, hot tub, and aurora dome in the woods, was perfect. And our chef (yes, a real French chef in the wilderness above the Arctic Circle) made every meal memorable (the reindeer carpaccio, reindeer bourguignon, and reindeer confit were outstanding).

What a fantastic trip. And thanks to the travel specialist, all we had to do was show up, no planning and few decisions to be made.

We had the best time, and it was an experience of a lifetime. Zicasso’s travel agent planned everything to our needs and picked the perfect hotels, which made it easy for us to explore the towns and cities. We had the best balance of city tours and time to explore ourselves. I would use this company again. It was a flawless experience.

Everything was great, with a variety of activities. The hotels were perfect; great accommodations and perfectly located. It was nice to actually meet Zicasso’s travel specialist in Oslo.
