“We loved the Fado music, loved the visit and tasting of olive oil, wine, cheese and jams at the family owned olive farm and vineyard... We have so many wonderful memories and highlights from each day of the tour”.

The spectacular Nordic lands of the midnight sun and the northern lights have been home to a vast range of civilisations over the centuries, each leaving their imprint on the region's landscapes.
