Dive right into Scandinavian culture with this 7-Night Small Group Scandinavian Capitals tour. With overnight stays in Oslo, Copenhagen, Kalmar, and Stockholm - each featuring upgraded accommodation - and one night on a cruise, this Scandinavia tour is the perfect way to explore the northern reaches of Europe.
Your adventure begins in Norway’s beloved capital - Oslo. Here, you will meet your guide and be treated to a tour of the city’s highlights, including Frogner Park and the medieval fortress of Akershus. In Oslo, you will be boarding an overnight cruise heading for Copenhagen - the capital of Denmark. During your time in Copenhagen, you will have the opportunity to take a guided food tour (focusing on the city’s famous food markets) as well as a tour of the city’s major landmarks including the Little Mermaid Statue and the grand Amalienborg Palace.

After you leave Malmö, your group will head to the east coast of Sweden to explore the Island of Öland, renowned for its natural beauty and picturesque setting. That evening, you will be treated to a three-course dinner overlooking Kalmar Castle before spending the night at the Castle Hotel Slottshotellet. Your tour wraps up with two nights in Stockholm, featuring a city tour, a trip to Drottningholm Castle, and drinks at the Stockholm Ice Bar (the world’s first permanent icebar).
With walking tours of Scandinavia’s major cities, stunning scenery, and nordic cuisine, this tour is sure to be the perfect introduction to these beautiful countries.

"Wonderful trip in Iceland"
Sep 24, 2021We had a wonderful trip. The hotels were lovely with excellent restaurants and very attentive staff. The location in Reykjavik was perfect. Lots of shops and restaurants and the bus stop within a few blocks.
We enjoyed all of the tours very much, especially the glacier hike and zodiac boat iceberg tour.
Everywhere we went was filled with gorgeous scenery. It’s sort of like Scotland and Hawaii combined.
"Amazing Ireland Vacation"
Sep 23, 2021Colorado
I started planning my trip in May of 2019, planning to budget out and get a good idea of what a 2 week trip to Ireland would cost. Josi was incredible in helping me get a cost outlined early on, and when 2020 hit and things were changing by the week we were able to plan some things out further. Come the month before my vacation we had all the excursions and sightseeing outlined, everything set, and I was able to have an amazing experience in Ireland. I hope to go back again and see more of what I only got a sampling of.
"Anniversary in the Rockies"
Sep 20, 20218
Everything was great. The upgrade from a hotel room to a townhouse was excellent. I loved the Yellowstone tour and the Grand Teton tour. Spring Creek Ranch was the best place to stay. Disappointed that two tours were cancelled.
"Family vacation in Ireland"
Sep 20, 2021Texas
The six of us truly enjoyed our 12-day family vacation, and appreciated the planning effort and support we received from Authenticvacations. Everything went smoothly. Renting cars and driving on the left side of very narrow roads in Ireland may not be for everybody, but we had drivers with prior experience in our group and for us it worked out great. We are looking forward to planning more trips in the future. Thanks Michaela.

"Love Ireland!"
Sep 12, 2021Ireland
Love Ireland I will be going back. Still a lot of places there to explore. Loved doing the little towns and B&B's. All my landladies where exceptional! Helpful. Grand breakfast every morning. Beautiful country. The Cliffs of Moher! Spent three hours there walked 6 miles. Took 75 pictures. The hardest part deciding which picture I want blown up!
