This program is geared toward adults and may be tiring for children under 7, which may make families and other passengers uncomfortable. We recommend avoiding traveling with young children.

Published child prices apply to children ages 7-11, sharing a room with two adults. Children 12 and older pay as adults.
-Climate: In these latitudes, the weather is constantly changing, so dressing in layers is best. This way, you can adjust your clothing according to the temperature. Don't forget to bring a warm jacket, raincoat or umbrella, and comfortable rain shoes. Even in summer, evenings and nights, especially in the mountains, can be chilly.
-Meals: Nordic meals are based on pork, salmon, red meat, fish, or chicken, with sauces, onions, and garlic. They are often accompanied by boiled potatoes and berry jam. Bread is eaten more for breakfast than for lunch or dinner. In places with few options, meals are included in the program;
where not, the guide will recommend alternatives. Meal prices in the Nordic countries are high, and in some cases, stops for meals are made in areas with limited options and little time due to the distances involved, so it is advisable to bring a snack. The quality of service in restaurants is often below expectations compared to other destinations.
-Guide: The accompanying guide joins the tour from the afternoon of arrival or the following morning. Their role is to ensure an organized experience, coordinating the itinerary, logistics, and schedules with drivers, accommodations, and restaurants. They also assist travelers with problem-solving and provide practical information about the destination, although they do not delve into the local history or culture.
-On the bus: The region is characterized by its unique geography, which influences the adaptation of its inhabitants and the layout of roads with bridges, tunnels, and ferries. This means that caution is required when driving and travel times are longer than in other destinations. Itineraries include long days of driving with regular stops. The guides provide commentary that enriches the trip. Although the buses don't have functioning restrooms, rest stops are made.
-Tipping: On tours with an escorted guide and bus, it's common to leave a tip as recognition for the guide and driver's good work. There's no set amount, but it's a nice way to show your appreciation.
