Wonderful trip. Mar made sure that everything we wanted to be included in the trip was included. She was always very quick to respond to any questions we had. She recommended hotels that were very nice and convenient. Our local tour guides were very good. Joanna in Copenhagen was very informative and spent extra time with us taking us back to our hotel. Ian for our day trip to Kronborg and Frederiksborg was also very good. Our driver for the day went above and beyond having cold water for us when we returned to the car. I am sorry I forgot his name. We enoyed our guide Marja in Stockholm and our guide for Sigtuna and Upsala, Karoline. Our driver for those two days Olga was really wonderful. I had forgotten my phone (camera) in the hotel and she let me use hers for the day and sent me the pictures. She was really a lifesaver. In Oslo, Bjorn our tour guide was nice as was the driver Morton. Our favorite part of the trip was our last part in Flam, Bergen and Alesund. In Flam our waterfall and culture tour was suppose to be a group tour but we were the only ones on the mini bus so we had a private tour with the driver/guide that was really friendly and informative. I am sorry again that I do not remember his name. Bergen was our favorite city. It was really beautiful and Mar had selected a hotel perfect for walking around and seeing the sights. Alesund was our last stop and it was a very pleasant surprise. I was not aware of it before Mar suggested it and it was beautiful. Our hotel room that Mar had selected was the best room of the trip. We had large windows with a sitting area that overlooked the water. Beautiful view from the bed and the sitting area. Our driver with the transfer service from the airport, Lene was unbelievably nice and went way beyond to help us. When I mentioned to her that we wanted to go to the Fjellstua Viewpoint but it had 418 steps so I wasn't sure my 82 year old husband could make it. She offered free of charge to take us before dropping us at the hotel. She also drove us around a few streets in the town and told us what was there. When she dropped us back at the airport she helped us with our luggage into the airport. I can't say enough good things about her. Overall a very enjoyable trip.
Hotel Reviews
Axel Guldsmeden
Copenhagen
This hotel is really nice with a outside garden area and also a glassed in area for breakfast or other meals. They were extremely accomodating to us. We had booked a room with two single beds and when we got there the elevator was broken and these rooms were only on the 5th floor. So they upgraded us free of charge to a family suite that had two bed rooms, 1 and a half baths and a sitting area. Very nice place to stay and very convenient for sightseeing and to take the train.

Our driver Olga we had for two days. She was great. She heard me complaining that I forgot my phone (camera) in the hotel so I wouldn't be able to take any pictures and she offered her phone to me to use and sent me the pictures.
