Whenever I mention a tour to Norway, Denmark, Iceland or any other Nordic countries, people tell me right off the bat, "too expensive, I'm not going there". While it is true, food can be expensive in these Nordic countries, in the end, it can be cheaper than you think for a GOOD Nordic vacation without cutting corners. See my blog post and get in on a real travel bargain.
We really do something special here at The Traveling Professor.
It is hard to believe that I have been taking people on small group tours since 2009. We started running strictly "budget" trips but as time went by, we kept upgrading and upgrading to the point where we use nothing less than quality 3-star deluxe hotels on all our regular tours, we have professional guides, limo pickup at the airport regardless of time of arrival, VIP no-wait-in-line admission. Our small group size lets us into places where no other tour goes and no guide book will tell you about. For instance, the ancient ruins you can get up close to an personal with in Rome, the restaurants only known by locals, the artisans in Florence that only WE get into to see, in Iceland we go off the beaten path for lunch at a dairy farm, and in Peru we hike the REAL Inca trail, not the one you always see on TV. To find out where The Professor is going in 2016 and to find out how you can come along, read today's blog post.
After finishing up in Norway, our small group did a 4-day, 3 night excursion to Iceland. I never thought I would ever go to Iceland, but now, I can't wait to go back. The amount and quality of natural beauty far exceeded my expectations. Take a look at today's blog post to get the scoop on our tour to Iceland with The Traveling Professor.
The Traveling Professor inaugurated a small group tour to Norway and Iceland on June 11. We took 12 adult travelers from all over the Americas including Atlanta, Philadelphia, Northern Virginia, Chicago, Los Angeles, the New York area and even Uruguay. We embarked on a 9-night, 10 day tour to Oslo, Flam, Bergen, and Iceland. See my blog post report on the Oslo portion of The Traveling Professor's small group tour to Norway and Iceland.
Last August, The Traveling Professor floated the idea of taking small groups of travelers to Norway and Iceland. Within a few days, the first tour was sold out. I added another tour and that was sold out in a matter of weeks. Norway and Iceland are two of the most exciting destinations right now and I am even more excited to be going on a small group tour to explore and enjoy these Nordic treasures. Take a look at the blog post to see our planned itinerary and follow our fun on The Professor's Facebook page.
Since 2009 I have been offering small group tours to Paris, Italy, Spain and Peru. In 2015 we have our first preview tour to Norway and Iceland. Norway is spectacular in culture, art and of course in natural beauty. The Traveling Professor's small group tour to Norway features 4-star hotels and 10-star scenery.
