The tour begins and ends in the vicinity of Stockholm. Transportation to get there is your own responsibility. This enables people from anywhere in the world to participate. You may inquire if you would like air transport to Sweden to be arranged for you. |
Travel will be by passenger van. This way, the tour can go by back roads, and to places where public transportation never goes. The tour is limited to 5 participants in addition to the guide. |
Depending on the exact itinerary, lodging will be in hotels, bed-and-breakfast establishments, and/or private homes. |
Special meals presenting Swedish cuisine are part of the tour. Breakfast and at least one other meal will be provided daily. Snacks will be available on travel days. There may be some free "half-days" for shopping and the like, and you will be responsible for your own meals then. |
Many events and museums charge admission. These fees are covered by the tour. |
Your guide is a native English speaker, also fluent in Swedish, and with extensive experience traveling in Sweden. His knowledge of Swedish culture is encyclopedic. He will be at your disposal to explain things, translate signs and pamphlets, interpret when you deal with Swedes who do not speak English, and help you find particular shops, items in stores, etc. |
After all tour participants have been confirmed, each will be asked to help determine the itinerary according to his or her interests. Once the general itinerary is established, a brochure will be prepared to help you prepare for maximum enjoyment of the tour. |
