If you want to take a tour to Denmark, or the rest of Scandinavia, here are three recommended companies that offer a fine selection of tours.
Bennett Tours With departures from New York or Chicago, you can enjoy 4-days and 3-nights for normally around between $500 and $600. One of these weekends is a great way to introduce yourself to Scandinavia. And, of course, they also offer extended vacations and tours. For additional information contact your travel agent or call 1.800.221.2420. Bennett Tours has been in business since 1850 so you can bet they know what they are doing! And, be sure to tell them you heard about this great Scandinavian Weekend on Getting Away With Jim Bruner.
Passage Tours This company offers some great city packages in both Copenhagen and Stockholm beginning well under $800. And, that includes air fare and 5 hotel nights. They also offer 3-night weekends and extended trips. For additional information, or to make reservations, see your travel agent or call 1.800.548.5930 and tell them Jim sent you!
Scanam World Tours I don't know for sure how long this place has been in business but, they state they have been, "Traveling the world since it was flat." And that is even longer than I can remember. They have some great vacation ideas beginning as low as $450 out of New York - plus a lot more with their Capitals Weekend Specials and other vacation ideas. Contact your travel agent for more information or call them direct at 1.800.545.2204. And, be sure to let them know you found out about them on Getting Away.
