What travelers are saying

"First time we (mom and daughter) have done a tour and first time with on the go tours. What a special trip we had doing the 13 day Casablanca to Essaouira Morocco tour (26 Nov - 6 Dec 2023). We started the first 8 days doing the totally Morocco tour and the last few days at our own pace with down time in Essaouira. Jamal our guide led the tour from start to finish and took us safely on a culture filled journey. His knowledge of the country, it’s history and people was informative and inspiring. Every request was “no problem” and delivered with a smile and happy demeanour. Everything in Morrocco was “no problem” and we felt safe and looked after. We were driven in a comfortable coach with enough stops along the way to not feel long by our competent driver Suleman. The hotels, Riad and Dar were extremely comfortable with exceptional service. We would not have had the same experience travelling on our own, we felt as though we truly experienced Morocco. Everything was a highlight for us and we will definitely book another on the go tour in the future. If you wanting to see true Morocco we would strongly recommend doing this tour."

What travelers are saying

"Our family of four, including two adult children, took the Bicycling: Day Trips to Paradise in Canada. This trip is entirely outsourced to the owners of the inn, there are no Road Scholar employees involved in the trip. Two of us have taken bicycle trips all over the world and the bicycling component of this trip was disorganized, haphazard and almost unsafe. We all filled out forms giving details regarding our bicycle fitting months before the trip. On the first day, the leader Stephen, went around the room and asked the same questions and said everyone would get fitted in the morning before we began the first ride. The morning brought a rack of bikes, all different types in various levels of readiness. There were road bikes, hybrid bikes, mountain bikes and e-bikes. The rides were all on paved surfaces and the mountain bikes were heavy and the additional suspension added weight. The bike I received had rust on the chain and rear sprocket. When I asked about it, was told they were waiting for another van to show up with tools and equipment. Once it arrived, they gave me the lubricant to spray on the rust. My wife’s bike would not shift into the high gear on the front sprocket. Instead of adjusting the derailleur, they suggested spraying it with lubricant. Our one son is over six feet and needed a larger frame bike, even though he detailed it in the bike form months ago, there was no bike to fit him. One of the guides, then went home and brought a larger bike that was a full suspension mountain bike for him. The bike was very heavy, hard to control on the road and he felt unsafe. After two days, one of the guides convinced Stephen that they could adjust a hybrid bike to fit him. Clearly there was no work done to prepare the bikes for the trip. Many of the bikes needed adjusting and all needed lubricant to function easily. For every day, there was a tray of snacks placed out for us to take along the ride. None of the bikes had any baskets or attached bags, so if you didn’t bring a small day pack, there was no way to carry the snacks. For lunch on the rides, they brought exactly one sandwich for each rider. Since most of us get hungry while doing a day of exercise, it would have been helpful to have a few extras. On one day, they ran out of sandwiches and one of the leaders that were riding with us did not get lunch. Do NOT take this trip if you are expecting it to be a bicycling trip. We have used VBT and Discovery Bicycle Tours many times over the past 25 years and they are excellent bike tour companies. Lastly, after sharing these details with Road Scholar after the trip, their response was weak at best. After doing the full reviews and having to call them, their response was to give us $200 credit after spending $8000 on this trip. Not only was that insulting, they assumed that I would take another trip with their organization."

"Best experience in Vilnius with professional tourguide! It was more like visiting local friend, she enjoyed taking a walk with us, telling lots of legends about famous citizens, colourful life of capital. We get to know history of Vilnius and Lithuania. Basically it's best option for travellers, if they want to see famous places, but also prefer interesting stories. It's not only facts, and aside of main attractions You get to see lots of not so famous, kind of secret places of Vilnius. Highly recommend it!"

What travelers are saying

"This was their July 22 Cruise “Delights if the Danube” Absolutely awful company, great at taking your bookings and money but it then ends there. We paid a premium rate for what they listed as “Delights of The Danube” river cruise. They changed our ship, so we did not get what we paid for, and no pool as we originally specified. The drinks in the drinks package had very little choice. One draft beer is all that is available, and that is pretty poor as it is, you can’t even buy bottled beers or any other draught beer as that one is your only choice. Wines at meal times are either red, white or Rosa, no choice, just those three.The ship they put us on “boasted” a new wine bar, it didn’t serve any wines or beers at all the entire week, it wasn’t even stocked or manned, but it did have a kettle and tea or coffee !!!. The trips ashore are advertised to deceive you, this is appalling. Some of the trips are over two and a half hours each way on a coach, and the shorter ones are rushed, don’t be fooled by their misleading advertising. The train journeys are an absolute nightmare, even though we booked first class there and back. You have to rush between connecting trains while dragging your luggage with you, and the connecting times are tight, we felt so sorry for those less able who were severely stressed. On part of the journey we were told that 1st class was not available, we were put in filthy overcrowded carriages, with our luggage carriages away, and professional thieves operate on these trains. Some of our fellow passengers, on our cruise, were robbed on the way to the cruise and the way home. Great Rail offered us the paltry sum of £30 compensation for this. Once we got on the cruise we were excited, but that quickly changed, we spent the first two days moored up overlooking an industrial estate, yes an industrial estate, that’s what Great Rail advertise as a “Delight of the Danube”. When we complained and asked why are we on an industrial estate,we were told “because it’s cheaper than mooring up in a city or town”. We complained to the reps on the cruise, as did numerous others, only to be told that they don’t actually work for Great Rail, they are sub contracted free lancers, and that we would have to take it up with Great Rail upon our return. After numerous phone calls and e-mails we have been offered a derisory amount on one of their vouchers, which only benefits Great Rail, why would we want to go back with such an incompetent company? The communication with Great Rail is appalling once they have your money, be warned. Overall I have to say that Great Rail are appalling, amateurs playing in a market they simply don’t understand, their advertising is very misleading, that’s putting it politely!! The tone of their responses are arrogant, they simply ignore many of the points raised, and they honestly don’t seem to care, they are all image and no substance."

"Trip of a lifetime! We loved Spain & Portugal and saw way more amazing and wonderful places & things than we ever expected. Our Tour Director Toni Aguilar made the entire trip even more special. He was simply terrific and such a decent person. Thank you Toni. Itinerary just fine. Main challenge for us was the unexpected pretty constant go go go rush rush rush. No one’s fault as we now understand how Land Tours truly work hard to have us see as much as possible in limited time frames. Overall, we were very pleased."

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

High Adventure

What travelers are saying

"My wife and I did the six day Lofoten Islands tour offered by 50 Degrees North. The tour is simple, they provided us a rental car, accommodations for two nights each at three Rorbuer hotels scattered across the islands, and a couple of scheduled day tours. Most of the time, we were on our own to see the islands at our own pace. The islands are stunningly beautiful, and the tour planning made our travels hassle free. They even scheduled lunch for us at an organic goat farm, which may sound a little strange for a vacation like this, but that is only because you haven't tasted the cheese. (Best lunch ever!) At our request, they altered the tour slightly so that we could begin the tour in Svolvaer and end it six days later at the airport in Leknes. We can't imagine a more complete tour of the islands in six short days."

What travelers are saying

"We spent two wonderful weeks touring several of the best destinations in Portugal & Spain with a group of 16 people. Our guide (Fredy) was from Spain and intimately familiar with the region, including its rich history, attractions, and food/beverages. The tour was well-paced using a combinations of private vehicles (small buses and cabs), trains, and an airplane ride as well as a fair amount of walking to get around these two beautiful countries. We extended our stay in Lisbon to see more attractions and took a side trip to Fatima, Obidos, and Nazare that was also excellent. Would have liked to have a bit more time in a couple of the cities, but we'll just have to plan another trip!"

Finland Tour Selection Trips

  • Most Finland tour arrive in Helsinki. Use this as your jumping-off point to travel by air, rail, road or water to the other major regions of Finland: Lakeland, Archipelago and Lapland.
  • Meet as many local people as you can during your Finland tour - it’s the best way to get to know the culture and personality of the destination. If at first the Finns seem reserved, this is just a symptom of their very polite, yet not overly gregarious behavior. They’re so happy you’re here!
  • A local tour guide can help translate where necessary, but English is widely spoken, particularly in the larger cities like Helsinki. Finnish and Swedish are officially the two languages spoken here - the Swedish population is about 5.5 percent.
  • Dress in layers, no matter what time of year your Finland tour takes place. The summer days can generally get up to 68 to 80 degrees F, but they can just as easily drop down to the low 60s. Blizzards are a threat in the winter, but if you love snow sports, rejoice and head to Lapland!
  • Bare it all in the sauna. It’s likely, and highly encouraged, that during your Finland tour, you partake of the sauna tradition as much as possible. Typically, Finns enter the sauna in groups separated by gender, and naked - but, if that’s just not your thing, bring a towel and at least give the sauna a try!
  • Consider an off-season Finland tour. Although the temperatures from September to May can be quite cold, the cities will be less crowded with tourists and the prices will be lower. Plus, there’s that added benefit of September to March being the best time to view the Northern Lights.

Additional details

Weather in Finland

Finland guided tours are offered year-round, with the bulk of the travel taking place between June and August, when the summer temperatures rise and it’s pleasant to take advantage of the countless lakes and rivers in the country. Remember, however, that Finland sits in both a maritime and continental climate, so travelers should be prepared for diverse weather - in short, dress in layers! The cold here is not brutal … warm air flowing in off the Atlantic and the Baltic keep the average winter temperatures higher than other countries of the same latitude (think southern Greenland, for example).

Summers in Finland are beautiful, thanks to mild, warm weather. Lapland’s Midnight Sun lasts for about two months. July is the warmest month, while February is the coldest. Note, however, that February is also the driest month and August is the wettest. As for the Northern Lights you’ve come so far to see, the Aurora Borealis are best viewed during Finland tours that take place September to March.

Do Finland Tours Visit Sweden and Norway?

It makes sense, if you have the time, to combine your Finland tour with guided visits of Sweden and Norway. Keep in mind that there is no direct train service between Sweden or Norway and Finland, but there are busses, some ferry service and of course, highways. Scandinavian guided tours will often include two or more of the countries in this region in one trip, choosing from the Scandinavian countries of Norway, Sweden and Denmark, and the Nordic countries of Finland and Iceland.

What Language Do They Speak in Finland?

Finland’s two main languages are Finnish and Swedish - 91.6 percent of the population speak Finnish, while 5.5 percent speak Swedish. If you visit Lapland during your Finland tour, you may hear the Sami language spoken - about 2,000 residents speak this dialect.
