I went with "Inkomartur" on tour "Northern Saga" (2007). Ilya Mezhul was the guide of our group. To be honest, this is by far the best guide I have come across. And when I was 21, I traveled a lot and with different companies. Neither in Akkord nor in Feeria was there such an excellent guide as Ilya. Moreover, I flew to the USA on a student visa and traveled with the world's largest company "Gray Line" on 3 tours (1st - Grand Canyon, 2nd - Yosemite National Park, 3rd - Californian cities of Carmel and Monterrey), and so not a single guide of this world company did not impress me more than Ilya Mezhul. I don’t compare the USA and Norway because they are very beautiful in their own way.
Here are the highlights of my trip:
The main plus is her guide Ilya Mezhul. With him - at least on any trip.
1. Excellent organization of the tour. The countries are very beautiful (Norway, Sweden, Denmark). It is impossible to get tired of the tour. Everything is taken very easily.
2. Everything is thought out to the smallest detail. No unnecessary technical stops. Stops for lunch are chosen with a special soul. I remember how in Sweden, Ilya, about 2 hours before the lunch stop, handed out the menu directly on the bus, everyone chose what they wanted, then Ilya called the cafe, and when we arrived, everything was ready.
3. A separate plus is a fish dinner in a Norwegian hotel (I don’t remember the name of the hotel). There are very tasty shrimp and the rest of the fish. With this dinner, I can compare the dinner in San Francisco at the Franciscan restaurant. These are two of my favorite dinners so far.
4. The tour itself. Very beautiful places. There are countries that are not very impressive. I recommend everyone to go to Scandinavia. Here, unique nature is perfectly combined with history.
5. Separately, I want to mention the bus driver - Jacek. He coped well with the serpentine and knew the road very well.
6. What is not unimportant: Ilya did a good job with a selection of videos and music. It was already breathtaking when he turned on E. Grieg's "Mountain King" when we were driving along a magnificent mountain road. It's nice to note that the movies and music have been chosen around Scandinavian themes, not just random stuff.
7. The hotels were great, each with its own specialty. Depending on the location, these were: a hotel with a water park, with a view of the mountains, etc.
8. The case in Copenhagen is a separate and huge plus for Ilya. There was not enough room in the hotel where our group was supposed to stay. Ilya showed his diplomacy and thanks to him we were settled in the very center of Copenhagen in the Radisson 5 * hotel.
9. Ilya superbly rallied the team for 2 weeks of the trip. It has been 5 years since the trip, but I still communicate with one person.
I don’t know why there are so many negative reviews about Incomarthur, probably, those who are satisfied with everyone just don’t write - I and, I believe, that the whole group has only a positive impression of this company. I recommend this company to everyone, I separately recommend the Northern Saga tour. Many thanks to Ilya Mezhul for this tour.
