'My 6th holiday with Encounter was as great as the previous ones! Fun group of people, amazing tour itinerary & inclusions plus a wonderful tour leader.'

'A great holiday for solo traveler as you can choose to have some alone time but always have the backup of friends and tour guide for companionship and security
in an unfamiliar country.'

'The Scandanavian trip offers many highlights, the big cities are beautiful, the countryside and coastal areas are amazing and the people along the way are great.'

'Scandanavia was every thing I dreamed it would be. Pretty coloured homes, green fields, snow capped mountain, water so fresh you could drink it from the waterfalls. The people in each country could not have been more friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this tour.'

'My holiday highlights were North Cape and the places we visited on the cruise. Copenhagen was excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it to others. It was good to meet Justine again and with her there to check it out it can only improve.'

'I have just returned from Encounter's stunning 2023 Scandinavia Tour. This tour had it all, a total insight into what Scandinavia is all about from nature, animals, scenery, people, food, culture, experiences, and the list goes on. Encounter had expert guides to give us the best information on Scandinavia. We travelled by bus, train, air, ferry - all of which gave us the true feeling of travelling in Scandinavia. Travelling with like minded solo travellers in a similar age group who were all there to enjoy their travel experience enriched the tour. I have made friends that I know I will travel with again and keep in touch with. The team at Encounter Travel are so knowledgeable and helpful and ensure that you are set and everything is in place for you to have an amazing travel experience. If you are considering travelling solo but want to know you won't be alone I can highly recommend travelling with Encounter Travel. You won't be disappointed.'

'This was my first time on a tour. I had traveled with my late husband and now partner on holidays and I had traveled alone many times for work but travelling alone on holiday, particularly when you get older can feel daunting and you have no one to share your experiences with. I made the right decision to travel with Encounter on a Solo Tour. Everything was organised, yet you still had time for yourself which I felt was important. The tour guide was excellent and I learnt a lot about Scandinavia that I was unaware of. The group were terrific and a lot of fun.'

'Well organized. Excellent itinerary. Great travelling companions.'

'I love to travel but don’t always have a travel partner. Encounter has made it possible for me to travel when I want and know that I will have a great time.'
Kay, 68 years, QLD
'Our amazing Scandinavian Holiday was one of the best holidays I have had with Encourter. So many beautiful sights and hands on experiences. Like visiting Santa in Lapland, Feeding and being with the reindeer, Sailing on a Viking Ship, Going to the Husky Farm, travelling to the top edge of the World, and Overnight cruising on a ship, the travel guide Tina was so knowledgeable and fabulous. The scenery of lakes, mountains and the beautiful little villages and the large cities was wonderful.'
