What people love about Nordic / Scandinavia Tours for Young Adults
- Iceland Fire and Ice (Classic, Summer)
I had a really amazing time with my group in Iceland! I had a lot of worries prior to the trip because it was my first time out of North America, on my first solo trip, and I don't drink so I thought nobody was going to talk to me. It was quite the contrary, there will always be people who will talk to you & want to be around you. I found a great group of friends, we went on so many great adventures, learned a lot about Iceland, ate SUCH GOOD FOOD, and saw the best sights. Demi was a stellar trip manager, she made me feel so comfortable, she knows her stuff, and she made me laugh so many times during the trip. I'm so glad I went on this trip, and if you're on the fence, I'd say book it now, you won't regret it!
- Iceland Fire and Ice (Classic, Winter)
This was an a mazing trip! You will meet some of the nicest people in the world and also see some of the greatest sites to explore on earth.
- Scandinavia (Summer)
10/10 so wonderful Knowledgeable Kind Organized to the MAX in the best way

As one TourRadar traveler noted: "From the trendy cafes in Copenhagen to the majestic fjords of Norway every destination offered something unique and exciting for young travelers."
What's the recommended budget for young adults traveling in Nordic/Scandinavia?
Budget about 100-150 USD daily beyond tour costs for basic expenses in this traditionally expensive region. Staying at budget-friendly spots like Generator Stockholm or Anker Hostel Oslo lets you cook meals to save money. Popular activities need extra planning - the Blue Lagoon costs around 85 USD while husky safaris run about 95 USD. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The activities were a little expensive but worth the money especially husky sledding and arctic swimming in Norway."
