The Traveling Professor has done 3 small group tours to Iceland already this year. We had the chance to expand our culinary experiences and we would love to share them with you in this Iceland blog post. Over the years we have been visiting Iceland, we noticed food offering have been getting better and better, even in locations outside of Reykjavik. Take a look at my recommendations of where to eat inside and outside of Reykjavik, Iceland.
The Traveling Professor just got back from doing two small group tours to Iceland. Our first group consisted of 14 travelers. Our second group had 13 lucky travelers who saw the South Coast, Golden Circle, Northern Lights, Blue Lagoon, and did a Reykjavik City Walk among other things. We were hungry! In today's blog post I have listed the dining spots The Professor recommends on your tour to Iceland and it is more than just Iceland's famous hot dogs!
The Traveling Professor just got back from running two small group tours to Iceland. We spent 5 nights with each small group. Our itinerary consisted of visiting Reykjavik, a tour of the Golden Circle, a tour of the dramatic South Coast, a walking tour of the city, as well as a visit to the famous Blue Lagoon. Touring Iceland with a small group makes sense money-wise since we take advantage of sharing transportation costs. But what do things cost in Iceland if traveling on your own. We visit that topic today in our blog post.
Everyone who goes to Copenhagen loves it. It's a clean and casual city filled with plenty of things to do. We like the restaurants, pedestrian walkways, good transportation, and friendly people. It is a bit on the expensive side, but if you purchase the Copenhagen Card, transportation and museum admission (including Tivoli Gardens) is free. Read about how to enjoy Copenhagen in today's blog post.
For me, the most underrated city in Europe is Oslo. It has it all. Beautiful scenery as it sits on the base of a fjord. The Viking history and culture is impressive. The Opera house may be the most beautiful in the world. The city is clean, never overcrowded and the tram transportation system is easy and makes it a pleasure to get around. It has the feeling of serenity and easiness. There is plenty to see and do in Oslo, but take a look at The Professor's top 5 picks of things to see in Oslo.
We have been on several small group tours to Norway - it is one of The Traveling Professor's favorite destinations. It cannot be beat for natural beauty. It is also rich in culture and history. We love the food there too. In our travels on our small group tours, we've found some great hotels and developed exciting itineraries. Check out today's blog post to learn more about traveling to Norway.
I am a semi-regular guest on the Scott Thompson radio program in Hamilton, Ontario. In between interviews on the eclipse and Jerry Lewis, Scott spoke with me on-air about stories he heard about tourists no longer being welcome in Europe such as this one. He also had some anecdotal stories of being treated rudely in Italy. We had about 10 minutes to talk on air and afterwards, my website lit up like a Christmas tree. See my comments on tourists being treated rudely or not being welcome in Europe.
We have been running small group tours to Norway for several years now. It happens to be one of my favorite places to go. The natural beauty (waterfalls, mountains, streams, fjords) is unmatched. The food is great. Attractions are out of this world. Read The Traveling Professor's blog post and find his Top 10 reasons to travel to Norway.

13 hearty travelers joined The Traveling Professor on a small group tour to Denmark, Norway and Iceland earlier this month. This group was a little different from The Professor's other groups in that it was almost evenly split between Baby Boomers and Millenials. It was surprising how the two groups fit in so well with each other to enjoy a wonderful trip to Scandinavia. Read about it in this travel blog post.
