We were very pleased with our Majestic Fjords/Scandinavian Highlights Tour. The hotels this tour…read morearranged for us were quite nice. When we were outside the cities, they were in beautiful settings with expansive views of fjords and/or mountains, and the ones in the cities were centrally located, close to trains and public transportation. The meals were quite delicious. Our tour manager, Yves,was very well-informed, organized, and personable. We saw some breath-taking scenery, as well as quaint little villages and vibrant city streests - in short, everything we were hoping to see on this tour. Dora and Bobby at East-West/Nordic Saga were of great help in setting this up, helping us get plane reservations and hotel reservations for additional nights, and overall, advising us on a tour that would be right for us. They were responsive, easy to work with, and very knowledgeable, helping us compare different options and select what suited us best. We felt that they took a personal interest in our having the kind of travel experience we were looking for. We have recommended Nordic Saga Tours to everyone who has asked us for more details about our tour.

This was my 1st international trip so I was completely inexperienced, but bold, as a female willing to travel alone. I needed a real expert to guide me. I was grateful to have found Nick! From help with selecting itinerary and handicap wheelchair assistance needs all the way to checking on me during actual layover times, assisting with boarding passes and seat selection and meal choices, let me say Nick was "spot-on"!!!! I cannot recommend his service any higher - top notch - A-1! His guidance and travel knowledge was invaluable and I will certainly seek him out again on my next trip to India or elsewhere!

We eventually settled on an acceptable hotel option with a small additional cost. When we arrived we were told that breakfast was not included, although it was expected and in our contract. I reached out to my agent multiple times but they never responded during or after the trip. The hotel was acceptable but lacked many basic amenities like drawers, ice, an iron, mini fridge or coffee maker. The location was the best part about it. Close to a large train hub and lots of restaurants. I can't rate the breakfast since it was not included (although we expected it to be). We were repeat customers but will never use this service again as there was no savings (could have just booked the hotel and flights ourselves for about the same cost) and the service was non-existent.

My husband and I just finished the 13-day small group tour with Italy4Real and let me tell you,…read morethis company is totally 4Real! Every detail of the trip (flights, pick-ups, luggage, advice, and hotel accommodations) are taken care of for you. If you want to change or modify a part of the trip, Rem and Debra will take care of it for you too. Some of the other members of the tour extended their trip and Italy4Real helped them plan it all. We stayed in wonderful hotels, were picked up at the airport by local drivers, escorted throughout Italy in the comfort of a luxury van, guided through the towns with personalized guides, ate at restaurants that were locally owned, and enjoyed an afternoon in a dreamy, small Tuscan village that produced wonderful wines and an amazing spread of local foods. We can't say enough good things about the service, experience, and excellent customer service that we received throughout this entire trip. From booking the reservations to asking questions and making last-minute changes, nothing seemed like it is was too much trouble for this team. The extra money you pay for a seamless, well-structured, and stress-free vacation is well worth the money! Thank you, Rem and Italy4Real.

A MUST when visiting Mt.

He was a little late, but he made up for it with how much of an interesting character he was. Throughout the journey, all the way up to stopping at Elbe on our way out, he talked our ears off, but I could listen to that guy talk all day. He told us historical info about Rainier, stories about his personal life as well as previous experiences doing the same tour I went on. Very open to questions too! Took us to Fred Meyers (Kroger) on the way to the park so we could buy some lunch. Showed us all the cool spots to take photos, was very clear on times to meet back, where to go, and even gave us his phone number in case we needed it for something. Since I went during early april, there was still a lot of snow on the ground. Lucas provided all 20(or so) of us with these shoe attachments called "microspikes", which allowed us to walk on the snow/ice covered ground with relative ease. He even made it work for someone with small feet (a kid). Told us over and over to drink water & be safe and whatever else. So uh, great guy, great amenities, great info, great experience. Overall 10/10.

As more of my friends have crossed this age milestone, I've seen the full spectrum of responses: people who downplay it and later wish they'd done something special, people who throw huge parties and regret the stress and effort, and people who choose extreme adventures only to find the adrenaline crash leaves them feeling depleted afterward, bringing '50' home in a hard way. This struck exactly the right balance. It was special enough to feel like a true celebration, offered a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and created memories (and amazing photos) I'll carry with me for years. While it's certainly not inexpensive, once you see the amount of equipment, preparation, effort, infrastructure, expertise, and care that goes into each flight, the pricing feels more than reasonable. It's a significant experience without being financially out of reach. If you're looking for a memorable way to celebrate a milestone event--or simply want an extraordinary experience--I highly recommend it.
