My daughter and I were exceptionally pleased with the expertise, courtesy and attention we received from Susie Main in designing a trip to Denmark and Norway that addressed and incorporated our personal needs and objectives. Susie's attention to our needs continued even after we had embarked on and returned from our trip. We recommend her services unreservedly and will use her again.

Anna at Nordic Saga arranged for Kari Haraldsson of Mink Travel to be the private guide and driver for my son and I in Iceland for three days in February, 2018. He was the best guide/driver that I have had in my 77 years of travel and has my highest recommendation. He spent longer than agreed with us each day in order to show us what we wished to see plus additional things we did not know about. Kari was kind and considerate, taking wonderful care of both me with some limitations at age 77 and my very active 50 year old son. He was knowledgeable, down-to-earth and funny. We really enjoyed our time with Kari.

Susie did at great job at arranging an independent tour of Norway for us. What a beautiful country! Thank you for helping us experience it.

The Iceland Complete tour was one of the best experiences in my life! Everything worked as planned. I want to thank Dora for her exceptional service.

It was a Grand Scandinavia! Still amazed how much we saw and did on our tour! Alex was helpful as he coordinated it for us with Nordic Saga and once we got to Copenhagen Christina was the perfect tour guide for our travels. She kept us on track and provided us with relevant information. Always on top of things - and we had several challenging folks on the trip . Enjoyed meeting other folks from around the world - some new friends. Totally enjoyed immersing ourselves in Scandinavian culture, food and nature. Would recommend this trip.

We had a great time - Norway is such a beautiful and amazing country! We were with a fun group of people on the tour and the tour guide, Anna, was fabulous - she went out of her way to make sure my Dad, who has limited mobility, was comfortable and able to see and do everything he wanted on the trip. Would love to go back some day and see other parts of the country. Also, thanks to Alex at Nordic Saga who arranged the tour for us!

I have traveled and hiked all over the world in my almost 84 years, visited every continent, and having a trip so far exceed my expectations was an amazing experience! The scenery on this "Across the Wilderness" tour of Iceland was spectacular, our lodging and food excellent. Our Guide, Helga, was tops and kept our international group (we represented 5 different countries!) laughing and in good spirits the entire time, even when the weather was less than desirable, while sharing lots of Icelandic history and mythology. Our driver, Marcos, was amazing, as he negotiated some very narrow roads over rough terrain with skill and confidence. On most days, we had several expeditions on foot, some clambering up and over volcanic rock, and viewed more waterfalls than I have ever seen anywhere! Because these walks were spread out over the day, with a chance to rest in-between, as we rode on the bus or stopped for lunch, I was able, even at my age, to rack up several miles a day with ease! This is a very active trip that I highly recommend! Nordic Saga was responsive and easy to work with in making the arrangements for this trip.

My husband and I have just returned from an amazing holiday in Iceland. We booked through DORA at Nordic Saga. Everything went smoothly and we got the cabin we wanted. We did a circumnavigation of Iceland on a small cruiseship, the Ocean Diamond, which was small enough to go down the fjords, right to the harbours of the small villages. It was an outstanding trip! I highly recommend it! The expedition crew on the Ocean Diamond were amazing! We were always given the best safety gear for our excursions (helmets, goggles, survival suits, life jackets, etc.). Every day was an adventure! We visited waterfalls, geysers, lagoons, fishing villages, volcanic craters, museums, nature baths, geo-thermal pools, glaciers, and icebergs, and much more. We rode Icelandic horses, went whale watching, saw puffins, eider ducks, black guillemots (with red feet!), and arctic turns. We had rides in zodiac boats, RIB boats (Rigid Inflatable Boats) and amphibian boats. Everywhere we went, experienced guides explained the historical background and told us interesting sagas of Iceland. We loved SKYR, the Icelandic yogurt. The scenery in Iceland is beautiful and dramatic, from mountains covered in purple lupines to black lava sand beaches. Everything in Iceland is very, very, very, very, expensive! i am glad that all our meals were included with our ship. The days were were away for lunch, they gave us a picnic brown bag lunch. We stayed a couple of extra nights at the beginning and end of our cruise and stayed in hotels which were 'tired' or had small rooms or shared bathrooms and no elevators; not Canadian standards. Just be aware. The circumnavigation covered most of Iceland but we took an additional land tour to see The Golden Circle and it was amazing! We were amazed by the 24 hours of sunlight! Nordic Saga provided all the information and paperwork that we needed. We had an excellent vacation and I have a beautiful red hooded Icelandic sweater to keep me warm next winter!
