Detailed Description

Heart-pumping adventure and pure relaxation will be in store for you during this luxurious 10-day journey through Scandinavia. During your trip, you will ascend the highest peaks in Norway, traverse the colorful harbor of Denmark, and partake in the Swedish tradition of fika. In Denmark, you will visit the famous Little Mermaid landmark, where the mermaid sits on a rock, waiting for her prince to come back. When your stomach starts to rumble, you will venture to a Michelin-starred restaurant, where you will enjoy a meal that will delight you to no end.

Copenhagen has many architectural marvels from the oldest functioning observatory to the colorful buildings that line the main harbor. Gothenburg is the second-largest city in Sweden, and it consists of a cluster of large canals that stream through the city. You and your guide will traverse the Botanical Garden, which holds the largest tropical orchid collection in Europe. Shortly afterward, you will island-hop across the 20 plus archipelagos that sit along the coastline. The narrow streets and alleys of Stockholm will be full of surprises and architectural wonders from the past.

When you arrive in Norway, you will discover the world’s largest sculpture park in Vigeland Park. The works of art represent the artist’s rendition of the circle of life from birth to death and then rebirth. The Scandinavians sit in the sauna before diving into ice-cold waters because they believe that it will strengthen the immune system, and you will surely feel rejuvenated by the icy plunge. As you hike up to Pulpit Rock, you will observe the 180-degree view before walking across the cobblestones of Gamle Stavanger. Afterward, you will explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Bryggen. Your luxurious journey through Scandinavia will soon come to a close, and you can use your last moments to capture some photographs of the incredible scenery the surrounds you.

Our travel advisor at Zicasso's tour company was responsive, creative with her itinerary, and really personalized our trip. The app provided was fully comprehensive, with details of our trip (hotels, tours, tickets for various transportation and venues). If we had any questions, they were answered in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend this travel company!

Zicasso's travel specialist was great! She was very responsive and flexible, and she created a wonderful trip for our family. The hotels were great and the pace of the trip was perfect for us. All the transfers and details were seamless and we didn't have to contact her at all because she prepared everything so well.

James C.
The Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark Vacation Review: Copenhagen, Private Guides, 14 Days

We have just returned from a family trip to the Netherlands, Belgium, and Denmark, planned by Zicasso's travel consultant. I'm so thankful I hired a planner to make this trip so enjoyable and spare me the time and frustration of doing it myself. The itinerary, personal guides (and group tours where applicable), transport, and hotels were all exceptional. Everything occurred on time.

They stayed close to my original budget. The travel consultant and her supporting staff were responsive before, during (with an issue at the hotel), and even after the trip (when we incurred an erroneous fee from the last hotel). I highly recommend them for any trip to Europe.

Zicasso's travel designer could not have been more helpful. She answered texts at all hours, made revisions to our itinerary when we needed them, and was all around wonderful. I'd recommend her to anyone traveling in that area.
