The Copenhagen, Oslo & Stockholm Trip (7/12 - 7/19)
Just recently finished my 4th FTLO Trip by going to Scandinavia. This was a destination that has long been on my list to visit, and I feel FTLO continues to excel in curating exciting activities.
What made this trip most memorable and fun was both the friends I made and our trip leader, Maddy. Not only does she have an incredible sense of humor, but her vast knowledge made her a trusted guide throughout each Scandinavian city we visited. She had gone above and beyond every single day, and I feel there's nobody else that should be leading this trip. I could see myself doing another trip with Maddy as a leader.
I'm looking forward to my next trip!

No better way to see the world
Recently came back from an unforgettable trip to Barcelona and Nice with FTLO, and it while it was only 9 days long the memories will certainly last a life time.
Our trip leader Eleonora and the crew made the trip stress free without having to worry about anything and overthinking every little detail. Highly recommend for anyone looking for the simplest way to travel.
Elenora, my trip leader, ensured this trip completely exceeded my expectations! She went above and beyond to help me navigate the countries, plan other activities I wanted to do, and suggesting and making reservations. She did absolutely everything in her power to help make sure I was the happiest girl in the whole world - and she did the same for everyone in our group! I really enjoyed that this trip was balanced between planned activities and free time. My favorite activities were definitely the paella class in Clara’s backyard (such a unique experience) and the winery tour (who doesn’t love wine tasting). One thing I was surprised by is that majority of our group was mid/upper 30s. I definitely expected to be the oldest with a bunch of 20s but that wasn’t the case. If you want to go on a fabulous trip without the stress of navigating around alone - don’t think twice about booking. And if you are blessed to have Elenora, there nothing that will get in the way of an absolutely unforgettable experience!
First FTLO trip and will definitly be…coming back for Eleonora
First FTLO trip and will definitly be returning only if Eleonora is my guide! Met amazing people and had a great time throughout the trip. She kept us entertained and informed of everything was planned and allowed us time to have "free time" so we can wander at our own pace!
I recently travelled to the south of France and Spain through ftlo. Eleonora was the best leader I could’ve asked for. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone’s needs were met and that everyone was comfortable and happy. She even offered to go to the pharmacy and pick up medicine for me!
She was funny, knowledgeable, and so kind! I will miss her so much!
I definitely recommend booking a trip through ftlo, and cross your fingers that Eleonora is your trip leader! Best experience of my life.

Life is not the amount of breaths you…
Life is not the amount of breaths you take, it's the moments that take your breath away.. and you will experience these moments with FTLO. I just came back from a trip to South of France-Barcelona, with a heart full of great memories, wonderful time with the group, and of course, our superb tour leader Eleonora!
She was incredible! A great guide and organizer of all the activities, and most importantly, a truly genuine, caring, kind and charismatic person!
I am so thankful for her. FTLO, please keep Eleonora on all the trips, as I don’t want to have anyone else on my future trips.

I met AMAZING people on this trip
I met AMAZING people on this trip - that was a bonus I wasn’t expecting. I had wanted to visit these cities for years but actually the coolest thing about this trip was the group I got to travel with. Aarpi was a fantastic tour guide who really cared about the group experience, and I’m grateful for the time I spent in Budapest, Vienna, and Prague.
I went of the trip after hearing good things from fellow travel alumni I had previously traveled with, it was even surpassed my expectations for location, hotels, food, and great tripmates. I definitely recommend.
Hvroje (Henry) was an exceptional leader and made it fun. He helped us plan our free time where we booked an extra boat excursion and some restaurants for meals together. He also stepped up when a friend had an injury.
This was my 10th trip, it is top 2 of not my favorite now.

FTLO Sardinia
FTLO Sardinia is a wonderful trip. I have travelled quite a bit (including with a competitor travel company for 20s-40s and other group tour providers), but FTLO truly stood out, and I would book with them again
Itinerary: The three towns we visited (Cagliari, Cala Gonone, and Alghero) were all wonderful, and quite different from each other. We had the perfect amount of time in each town. (One tip though: the tour leaves Cagliari straight after breakfast on Day 3. If there's anything you want to do, see, or buy in Cagliari, I recommend making time to do it before the trip officially starts, as you don't have a ton of free time after the boat day! There are pharmacies and supermarkets at every stop, but Cagliari has all the major stores).
Pace: Excellent pace - no early mornings, no super-long car rides, no rush, always at least two hours between a day activity and an evening activity. Having at least two nights in each location also felt right.
Activities: The included activities were top notch. The beach club was great, with comfy sunbeds and umbrellas pre-booked for our group, on one of Sardinia's protected beaches (I felt like a local!) I loved the two boat days - the boat and catamaran were both luxurious, with plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax. The agriturismos were all authentic and we were often the only group there - a private experience!
No cut corners, no tourist traps, no craft demonstrations that are actually high-priced scammy tourist shops - just great activities benefitting local Sardinians :)
Transport: Our private mini van was high-quality, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The longest drive was about 3 hours, with breaks. Our driver Roberto was very good and very safe.
Group: Our group of 8 was fantastic - great size, great spirit. I honestly believe a trip like this should bring like-minded people together, and it truly did.
Food: The welcome dinner and farewell dinner were both EXCELLENT, multi-course, delicious meals in atmospheric restaurants (especially the farewell dinner - so special). Most of the meals we had were fresh, locally made (or hand made!), and catered well to the group. I usually get super hungry and barely snacked at all on this trip! The hotel breakfasts were pretty good, and offered a huge variety. I think the trip also had a few more included meals than advertised. (One tip: be very forthcoming about food preferences on the pre-trip survey. Our trip leader Piera organised alternatives for every dietary preference - no matter how small. And definitely note down if you don't like fish or seafood, as the first night was a fish/seafood based meal. Generous substitutions were organised for those who let FTLO know they don't eat much fish).
Hotels: The three hotels we stayed at were all in the best locations in each town, clean, quiet, comfortable and safe. While they weren't the most luxurious hotels I've ever visited, they met the expectations set by FTLO, and I would definitely prefer the great location rather than staying at a fancier hotel out of town. (None of our hotels had balconies or a swimming pool, which some FTLO alumni on the tour mentioned was different from their past experiences).
Trip Leader: I know you can't choose your trip leader, but if you could, you would want to choose Piera. She's fantastic, and a real asset to FTLO. Pi has great energy, humour, and enthusiasm. She is a Sardinian native (near to Alghero) and is incredibly knowledgeable about all the best places to visit, shop, and eat. She was great at leading the group, organising optional activities for everyone, but also at meeting everyone individually (I occasionally noticed her huddled in a one-to-one side chat, or quietly/discreetly taking care of anyone who felt unwell). She was also incredibly helpful when I lost my prescription glasses, calling around local optical stores to organise a same-day replacement, and accompanying me to ensure no language barriers. Love my new ray bans, even better than the old glasses I lost!
Other random tips:
*The hotel we stayed at in Cala Gonone charged €20 for a whole bag of laundry. This is the best place to wash a few items. After the boat day, our whole group pooled together one bag to wash our towels. Do this!
*Day 7 is an entirely free day in Alghero, until about 5pm. Our group organised another beach club day, but you could do anything. The trip doesn't go too deep on the history of Sardinia, so this could be a good place to do a walking tour or visit a museum if you were interested.
*While most places accept card, try to keep small bills (€5 and €10) for tipping where relevant. Some cash-only places also didn't love making change for €50 bills.
*Bring insect repellant (or a pot of tiger balm!) if you don't like bees.
*Bring a mini USB fan! Esp in July!

FTLO Croatia July 2026
I just got back from the FTLO Croatia trip and had an amazing time. Our guide Ilija was great and I hope he is able to continue to lead this trip in the future.

FTLO Trip to Croatia
I had a great time on my FTLO trip to Croatia! Our group size was perfect (11 travelers total, 4 men, 7 women) and Ilia and Hrvoje (our co-trip leaders) did an excellent job of communicating clearly and with the right frequency. The daily itineraries were varied and helped us see interesting and cool parts of Croatia. My feedback would be to provide a more streamlined list of recommendations for packing (ex: a rain jacket was not necessary for the waterfalls in kryka park nor was it necessary to bring bug spray for any part of the trip) and more tailored suggestions on the best places to shop for clothes and souvenirs (in this trip I think the best place was Split but because that was our first stop many of us waited until Hvar and Dubrovnik and felt that the selections in these latter two cities were worse than those in the first). Additionally, more guidance on when/when not to tip would have been helpful. Alternatively, FTLO should consider just folding the tips into the price of the trip or not recommending tipping in the first place. Folks on our trip had a lot of conversations about when and how to tip appropriately and it took away from some elements of the experience. Moreover, it was unclear how much/whether to tip each of our co-trip leaders or just one. I would also recommend keeping in mind that most bars, clubs, and stores are closed on Sundays when building itineraries and recommending going out to experience nightlife on nights when things are open/flagging that we may want an early night in on nights when they are not. Lastly, I would recommend communicating more clearly with vendors and travelers about restroom access. We traveled on a boat for many hours, which lacked a functioning restroom, and on a bus for about 4 hours, which also lacked a restroom. Despite the constructive areas for growth, I had a great time on the trip and would recommend it to other solo travelers!
I had such a great time at my trip in Sardinia with FTLO! The pace and vibe of the trip was exactly what I needed. Piera was a great group leader. She is very sweet, supportive and available to help us get the most of the trip. This was my first trip at FTLO and I loved it. Will definitely join other excursions.
Just got back from the Copenhagen, Oslo, & Stockholm trip! Was such a fun experience- I loved seeing all 3 of the cities! But what truly made the experience great was our tour guide Maddy. She went above and beyond in every aspect. Planning to go on another FTLO trip and hoping it can be with Maddy!

FTLO Scandi Trip
Just finished the July 12-19 Scandinavia trip, led by Maddy. Overall it’s an incredible trip and would recommend for anyone looking to see this part of the world, explore the food & culture, and make a bunch of great new friends. Maddy is an excellent tour leader who made sure logistics flowed smoothly and that we were always having a good time.

Scandanvia 2026 Trip (summer)
This was my first FTLO trip and wasn't sure what to expect. Accommodation, dining and included experiences felt well thought out and balanced. Our trip leader Maddie truly made the trip. She was accomadating, incredibly well versed in all the areas we visited and organised.
I made some great friends on this trip and if the other tour guides are even half as good as Maddie, I know I will be booking a follow up trip
The Sardinia trip with Piera was incredible! So much beach and boat time exploring a beautiful island. Plus a cooking class, aperitivo tour, trips to a winery and olive oil farm, and a great group of people. Pi was the perfect trip leader—warm, thoughtful, organized, and truly loves this place. She was full of great recommendations and went above and beyond to make sure we all had the best experience.
I just arrived home from my 5th FTLO trip to Sardinia! This trip was incredible and was packed with so many activities and experiences. I especially loved the boat days, the cooking class and our farewell dinner! My favorite stop was Cala Gonone, which is a quaint beach town with beautiful restaurants and rooftop views. Pi, our guide was amazing! I knew it was going to be a great trip as soon as I met her. Her energy and passion for Sardinia and her job are unmatched. She made everyone feel so welcomed and comfortable and was always in a great mood! As stated, this was my 5th FTLO trip, but it was my absolute favorite! Thank you to FTLO, Pi, and my group mates for giving me an unforgettable experience!

Fantastic first trip with FTLO
I had an incredible experience on the FTLO Sardinia trip with Pi as the trip leader. Pi brought such a warm fun energy to the group. Super easy to talk to and get along with. You could tell she really wanted to ensure each individual had the best experience possible. She was super accommodating with requests, always down to change things up if the group wanted something a little different. Everything was super organized and well planned.
The itinerary itself was well paced. We had just the right amount of time in each city I thought.
I was pretty impressed with our boat days, the boats were bigger than I expected and came well stocked with food and drink (a common theme of the trip).
We always had enough food, wine, etc. The goodbye dinner was fantastic, the restaurant was stunning. Overall I had a fantastic experience and would definitely do ftlo again.

Sardinia with Pi!
The Sardinia trip with Pi as our guide was absolutely fantastic! As someone who has traveled all over Italy, Sardinia really blew me away. The trip has the perfect balance of activities (lots of boating and beaches) to relaxation time and we spent time in 3 beautiful and unique towns. This was my first trip with FTLO and I could not have asked for a better guide than Pi-she did a wonderful job and made everyone in the group feel welcome. She really made the trip extra special! There were many people who had been on multiple FTLO trips and all remarked how Pi was one of the best guides they had and how Sardinia was one of the best trips they had been on! I certainly look forward to booking my next trip with FTLO!

FTLO Bali!
Bali was my second FTLO trip, and yet again, it was incredible!! Andy, our trip leader was extremely knowledgeable about literally everything Bali. He provided a fun and welcoming energy for the entirety of the trip. He shared authentic experiences for us to do on our own, and they never disappointed. The activities were unique and diverse, and the accommodations/meals were excellent, as well. Can’t wait to travel with FTLO again!
