Tyskie Posted March 10, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 10, 2023 We are cruising with Oceania this September "City Lights & Baltic Beauties" Found Nordic Experience Tours online - showing tour details for various ports. Seems to get good ratings but can't find anything on CC. Has anyone ever used this company, if so, what was your experience? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallasm Posted March 10, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Personally, I'm a bit skeptical It seems like a company that mediates excursions from local providers at a somewhat higher price - their prices are generally very high. Their guidelines for tips are also not in accordance with current practice for the Nordic countries. Guides get a fixed salary and a tip of 10% on an upfront very high price is too much. I'll try to find some more background information. Edited March 10, 2023 by hallasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you I appreciate your input - they get good ratings on TripAdvisor and other sites - I know Viator is a 3rd party but didn't realize that Nordic might be too. However, we tried Project Expedition for Klaipeda & Curonian Spit - since we don't dock until 1pm-9pm - that seems to be the issue of not being able to book with them.

hallasm Posted March 11, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Yes, just like Viator. Definitely a legitimate company, but I'm always a bit skeptical when I see so many excellent reviews in a relatively short time from people who have only posted a few reviews. We'll see if anyone here at CC has experience with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
