Fantastic tour of the Nordic capitals - brilliantly arranged by Baltic Holidays
Baltic Holidays were superb - both in the communications before the holiday to establish what we wanted to do and then in the arrangements themselves. We started the holiday flying into Copenhagen - then onto Oslo by overnight ferry; then Stockholm by train and finally Helsinki again by overnight cruise. As well as the overnight ferries we had two nights in each city. A very memorable ten nights away. Taxis had been arranged from/to airports/train stations/ferry terminal/hotels. Without exception the drivers were on time, courteous and provided very good vehicles. In each capital a walking tour was arranged for us - excellent guides giving a great insight into daily life and key locations - as well as the history and geography of each city. The free time in each place allowed us to explore beyond the places the guides had taken us (eg Tivoli gardens in Copenhagen, Ski jump in Oslo, ABBA museum in Stockholm and Sibelius Park in Helsinki. The hotels were all very different but each fantastic in their own way. I'll finish this review as I started - Baltic Holidays were superb.
