DEPARTURE POINTS & DATES
ACTIVITY LEVEL
Level
This activity rating uses the new scale of 1 to 4 introduced in November 2023.
High Activity: You are an active traveller who wants to explore wherever you go. You don’t mind a mix of full days, early morning starts, and some late nights. You can walk longer distances, up to 4 km without difficulty which may be over uneven ground and cobblestone streets, and stand for prolonged periods. You can climb three flights of stairs easily and unassisted, and can handle your own luggage in airports. There is no luggage handling service available at any hotels in Scandinavia. We visit many historic towns where streets are too narrow for a motorcoach, so guided walking tours are frequently offered and you must be able to participate if you want to see everything.
This tour is not appropriate for people with canes, walkers, wheelchairs, or other mobility assistance devices. Hiking poles are fine. The tour director, Scandinavian guide, and driver have many responsibilities, so please do not expect them, or your fellow travellers, to provide ongoing assistance. If you are not capable of keeping up with the group or require frequent assistance, the tour director may stop you from participating in some activities or some days of the tour. In extreme situations, you may be required to leave the tour and travel home at your own expense; travel insurance will probably not cover you.
Please read the Activity Level 3 declaration attached to this brochure. By paying the tour deposit, you agree that you are capable of travelling on an Activity Level 3 tour.
Tour Size
This tour is limited to 25 participants, making it a more intimate travel experience.
-
Documentation: A passport is required and must be valid for three months after August 19, 2025, the date you fly home. A visa is not required for Canadian travellers to Denmark, Sweden, or Norway. However, an ETIAS travel permit may be required.
-
Currency & Expenses: Three currencies are needed during this tour. The official currency of Denmark is the Danish Krone; a Canadian dollar is worth about 4.9 DKK in August 2024. The official currency of Sweden is the Swedish Krona (SEK) and Norway is the Norwegian Kroner (NOK); a Canadian dollar is worth about 7.5 SEK or NOK. All three countries discourage the use of Euros. You should order DKK, SEK, or NOK from your bank 2 weeks before departure, or plan to use ATMs. Credit cards are widely accepted. Another option is to bring Euros for all 3 countries, then exchange as needed into the appropriate currencies. Do not bring Canadian dollars. Gratuities have been included for all group meals and for local guides and drivers. Generally, meals and beverages you buy on your own are going to be more expensive than those in Canada.
-
Itinerary and Fare Changes: Due to continuing after effects of the pandemic, sometimes we are notified about changes to the itinerary prior to departure and sometimes during the tour. We do our best to substitute a similar service if something cancels, but occasionally the only alternative is to provide a refund for the missed activity. Please note that if we are forced to cancel a tour component due to an issue beyond our control, the current penalties still apply if you choose to cancel the entire tour. Fuel surcharges and changes to taxes, currency exchange rates, or other tour costs can occur at any time, therefore Wells Gray Tours reserves the right to increase fares due to such changes up to departure.
-
