Seniors in Scandinavia

Help,please. Plan Stockholm for 3 days plus pm arrival; Train to Copenhagen for 4days (include ovenright trip to MALMO to see elderly relative; Ferry to Oslo for 2 days and then Norway in a Nutshell, incl. Flam RR. 2 days in Bergen. Any suggestions about seeing other "don't miss places"? Have 22 days.

Would love a private guide, in each capital. Any recommendations?

Do go and see the viking ship museum in Oslo and just around the corner is the Kontiki place so worth a pop in too.

A private guide is expensive in any city and will be a fortune in Scandinavia. Should we assume money is no object?

You will get senior discounts no matter what country you're from such as 50%off on public transportation when you buy a transit pass including Arlanda Express from airport into Stockholm(get ticket from machine)

Many thanks for your input and hints.Appreciate the senior discounts, and hope to take advantage. But husband is disabled, and the money is less important than his (and mine) comfort and enjoyment. At 78, we have decided time, comfort, and the joy of seeing weigh more than money.
