Any recs for Scandinavia tours for solo female traveler?
 
I'd like to go to Denmark, Norway and Sweden but I'll be traveling alone. I'd ideally like a guided tour of sorts...and a place where I can have my own room. I'm looking for about 14 days or so...any ideas? Thanks in advance!!! :-D

Not cheap but very friendly to single travelers. When considering costs, note that airfare is not included. To get a good idea of what a trip is like, read some of the entries on his scrapbook page.http://tours.ricksteves.com/tours10/scr09_archive.cfm

I like the Insight Vacations tours over most others, including Rick Steves. Here is their site: http://www.insightvacations.com/us/

They have a couple Scandinavia tours: Grand Tour of Scandinavia http://www.insightvacations.com/us/i...our_id=2267729
and

Spectacular Scandinavia and its Fjords http://www.insightvacations.com/us/i...our_id=2268354

Insight is a sister company to Trafalgar, but is a bit more upscale, and its hotels are usally centrally located.

Hi,
I did the Insight Spectacular Scandinavia and its Fjords a year or so ago. It was really good. There were several singles on the trip and they all seemed to fit in with the couples etc. There was a good mix of country and city and, although the weather did not always cooperate (we were snowed in at Geiranger Fjord and had to put the coach on a ferry and go further down the fjord to continue) I loved it. The coach was the most comfortable I have been in and the tour manager really went the extra mile to give us a good time.

Have you went on trip yet? I am also looking to go there - also want a tour company - but hate paying single supplements. I have always went with a company that does a match - and have met wonderful people. Is this something you would be interested in?
