Denmark, Sweden, Norway Trip Review: Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo, Bergen, Fjords, Walking Tours, Vasa Museum, RIB Tour, 2 Weeks

We had a wonderful trip to Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo, Bergen, and the fjords in Norway, with seamless connections, well-chosen hotels, and informative and fun tours and activities. Zicasso’s travel company did excellent work developing our itinerary and then following our trip to ensure it all proceeded smoothly.

We’ve never had a travel agency remain in such close contact during a trip. Our travel agent was an absolute pleasure to work with. She quickly responded to our emails and texts, and went through many iterations of our itinerary, honing it based on her extensive knowledge of the region and ensuring our complete satisfaction with it.
