Classic Holidays in Sweden

The cost of your Swedish holiday package includes a detailed itinerary, pre-booked accommodation, and tickets for included attractions and train journeys.

Your tour price might change based on the following:

• • Time of year - The price of some tours varies throughout the year. This depends on whether you are travelling during high or low season. In the tour’s monthly price graph we highlight the best price available.
• • Type of accommodation - On some tours you can choose between different levels of accommodation. If you are celebrating a special occasion, you might like to treat yourself by upgrading to a more luxurious level of accommodation.
• • Optional extras - When booking your tour online, it’s possible to add extra nights, optional activities and guided excursions to your itinerary. The prices of extra nights and additional activities will be clearly listed in your final tour price.
• • Car rental upgrades - All our self-drive tour packages include car rental, GPS, unlimited mileage, Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), Basic Theft Protection (TP) and VAT. If you would like to upgrade your type of car rental, you can choose from the options available when making an online booking.

Then choose your preferred start date in the availability calendar and pick an accommodation level. If the tour is a self-drive trip, you will also be able to select the type of car rental you would like.

Our trips are thoroughly researched to ensure that you have an unforgettable and rewarding experience.

You can tailor many of our itineraries by adding extra nights, treating yourself with an accommodation upgrade, or selecting optional excursions. If you have any special requests, let your dedicated travel consultant know and they will work with you to create your ideal trip.

Get in touch with us to ask about customising a tour or creating a bespoke itinerary.

First, check that there are flights available for your chosen dates, but please wait until your tour package is confirmed before booking. This is because some trips have limited availability, meaning that your package isn’t finalised until you receive a confirmation email from us.

If you book online, you will typically hear from your travel consultant within 2 working days of making your booking. They will let you know when your tour, including accommodation and transport arrangements, is confirmed.

Waiting to speak to your travel consultant will also give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about your arrival and departure arrangements.

Once everything is booked, you can go ahead and book your flights, safe in the knowledge that your dream trip is waiting for you.
