Taylor did an excellent job keeping in touch and coordinating my husband and I as an add on to another group. She let us know each day about tickets, events and made our day go smoothly. Can’t say more about her communication.

Tour Guides:
Our guide in Oslo for city tour was just wonderful. She sat down with us at the beginning of the time to see what was best for our 3 hours together. She helped us get set up with public transportation and traveled Roth us to the Sculpture garden. She also gave us tips on visiting neighborhoods and we later found the best fish soup we’ve ever eaten in an off the beaten path area! She was extremely knowledgeable and shared so much in a short amount of time!
Also the guide in Flam on the fjord safari was just great. You can tell he loves what he does. This was an overall super experience…one of the highlights of our trip.
The food and culture tour was great also. Our guide was local and shared many inside tidbits about life in Bergen.
The guides you work with are not only knowledgeable but good at communicating and adapting to needs of the group.
Hotels:
Each of our hotels was in a very walkable location close to lots of activities. Our favorite was Flam with the just a “pinch myself” view from our balcony. Love the waterfront locations.
Breakfasts were like feasts at each hotel but especially in Oslo. I wanted to take home a fancy coffee machine…ha!

Hotel Review
Flåm Marina
Flåm

This hotel is in an idyllic setting. Away from the busy-ness of downtown. The view from our balcony was just incredible with the fjord right there. Breakfast area overlooked the incredible view as well. Enjoyed the breakfasts to start our day.

One of the highlights of our trip. Great to be in the fjord and look up at the beauty. Also to experience the little villages along the way. Including the cheese tasting.

Our guide sat down with us to determine best use of our 3 hours together. She helped us secure public transportation and went to the Sculpture Garden together. Very adaptable to our wishes.

Heihei Becky! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review! It was truly a pleasure helping you and your husband join the group and making sure everything came together smoothly throughout your time in Norway.

I’m especially happy to hear that the communication and daily walkthrough were helpful. With so many moving pieces on a trip like this, our goal is to make sure you always know what’s coming next so you can simply enjoy the experience!

It sounds like you had some fantastic guides along the way. I love hearing that your Oslo guide took the time to tailor those three hours to what interested you most and even helped you navigate the local transportation. And I’m cheesing at the thought of you discovering the best fish soup you’ve ever had thanks to her recommendation! That’s exactly the kind of little travel discovery that makes a trip special.

I’m also thrilled that the Flåm Fjord Safari was one of the highlights of your trip. You can absolutely tell when a guide genuinely loves what they do, and that enthusiasm makes such a difference. It’s wonderful to hear that all of your guides were knowledgeable, personable, and able to adapt to the needs of the group.

And those hotels sound like they were a perfect fit! I’m so glad you enjoyed their walkable locations and waterfront settings, and I can only imagine that “pinch myself” view from your balcony in Flåm. There’s nothing quite like waking up right on the fjord! And I have to agree, the Norwegian hotel breakfasts can be seriously next level. I’m laughing at the fancy coffee machine comment…if only those were a standard souvenir!

Thank you again for your incredibly kind words. It was a joy helping coordinate your Norwegian adventure, and I’m so happy to know that you had such a memorable time. I hope you brought home plenty of wonderful memories!😊🇳🇴
