Our visa-free tour from Helsinki to St Petersburg was wonderful! All arrangements worked out smoothly. The ferry trips on the St. Peterline’s “Princess Maria” from and to Helsinki were pleasant with a comfortable, roomy cabin and great choices of food for dinners and breakfasts. As promised, a private tour guide (Ludmilla), with car and driver (Dmitri) were at the St Petersburg ferry terminal to meet us for the extensive tour of the city. It was certainly a huge benefit to have a private guide for our visit to the Hermitage Museum, bypassing the queues. Ludmilla was an excellent guide throughout the entire day. The Hotel Domina Prestige where we were taken at the end of the 7+ hours of the tour was of a very high standard, with friendly helpful staff who spoke excellent English. This hotel is so central – an easy walk to the Neva River, the Hermitage, Palace Square, etc. Mariia was our guide for the next 2 days, driving us herself to Pushkin one day and to the Peterhof the following day. We cannot thank Mariia enough for her enthusiasm in sharing so much information with us during these 2 days. We also thank Susie Main for her helpfulness in arranging the tour. In conclusion, we can whole-heartedly recommend this visa free tour to St Petersburg arranged for us by Susie Main of Nordic Saga Tours, and we thank Susie for all her help! The tour gave an excellent overview of the city and the museums and palaces which were included in the program. Best of all was the benefit of the private guide, so much better than tagging along with a full-busload of tourists with one guide! Many thanks to Nordic Saga Tours and Susie, Ludmilla and Mariia!

We had a group of 15 family and friends traveling to Iceland and Norway in the summer of 2015. Susie was very helpful with all of our groups needs and changes and was able to find accommodations to fill all our needs. The whole trip was wonderful (except for the chilly weather) and ended with our stay at a lighthouse in Norway which was beautiful.

Nordic Saga (Susie) planned our itinerary, booked flights, car rental, and all hotels. They helped plan every step of the way and answered all my questions. The trip was beautifully planned and hotels were great. Only snag in our trip was handled by our travel agent as soon as we returned. Would highly recommend this agency!

Nordic Saga and Susie were really helpful and patient helping me with planning my trip to Norway with my granddaughter. The up front planning and ticketing of the domestic flights was really smart and enabled us to fit in a LOT of stops - visiting relatives plus seeing the most scenic, memorable areas of the north, west coast and Oslo.

Hi Bobby, We're back from our tour of Scandinavia and Russia. Wanted to reach out and say thanks again for making it such a successful trip. We loved getting to see all those different countries in only a week. The whole trip was highly organized and the guide we had was very professional. Other than the poor weather in Stockholm, it stayed sunny the majority of the time which we were both thankful for. There were so many things we loved in each city, but just being on those guided city tours was a lot of fun. I always enjoy learning about the history and culture of each new place I visit. It gives you a new perspective and you tend to appreciate your surroundings a bit more while you're there if you're actually familiar with it.

I am a travel agent and used Nordic Saga to arrange a vacation in Norway for my clients. Here is their rave review! That was the most incredible vacation ever, in Norway. That is a WONDERFUL country to visit. All of the arrangements were perfect! Thank you for taking on the project of scheduling everything for us. Wonderful trip. Best vacation I ever took. Judy M.

We were very pleased with this trip for the most part. It was done by the oldest tour company in Iceland and was well arranged. The guide was knowledgable, and kept an eye on the weather, changing itinerary to ensure the best weather possible. There was ample time provided to see sights and just spend time enjoying the scenery. There were dozens of stops for photos. I would not recommend tourist class for elderly or handicapped, as the hotel rooms were all upstairs and there were no elevators. Staff was mostly helpful with luggage, but rooms were tiny with no room to put it once we got it there. The restaurant at the hotel in Akeyrui was super expensive, and there was no other in close proximity. We ate sandwiches and yogurt several evenings. The hotel in Hella had a supermarket near and a good restaurant with a owner who treated us great. Food good,also. We had a great group of people traveling with us from various European countries, Australia, Canada, And Asia. Everyone was friendly, and by the end we were good friends. The only problem occurred on the return to the airport. The bus was looking for us at a different hotel than where we were booked, and we had to take a taxi which barely got us to the airport in time and cost us $125.00 U.S. We did not get reimbursed for that, I have traveled in the past with a group that handles everything for us, so this was a learning experience. One more thing, you can charge everywhere, even street food vendors. You need a card with a chip and you are good to go.

We had a wonderful tour - Fabulous Scandinavia. Everything went on well and the tour was conducted in a professional manner. The tour leader was Mr. Rafael and he did a superb job. Besides, Mr. keith from Borealis Destination Management was very helpful. The climate was pleasant throughout the tour and places visited are very scenic and real treat to our eyes. The tour booking and arrangements was done thru Mr. Alex Vilkevich of East West Travels (BRIDGES UNLIMITED INC. 18518 Bothell Way NE, Ste B, Bothell WA 98011). Though the request was sent very late, he handled it courtesouly and professionally and his efforts were really outstanding, without which our tour would not have been possible. Overall, it is an excellent trip and a memorable one and is highly recommended !
