Mar did an amazing job setting up the lodging, transportation and activities for our dream anniversary trip. She took into account all of the things we love to do and see. The hotels were spot-on both in amenities and location. The transportation was smooth and seamless. One of our favorite activities was the private floating fjord sauna experience in Fläm! Absolutely envigorating!! The details worked out by Fenne were also seamless. We never felt stressed or worried about where to be or how to get there. We had one glitch in that a gondola was not running on the day we had tickets for it. A quick message to the local expert, Julia, via What’sap assured us we would receive a refund and that we could continue on to our next location earlier without having to wait out the 5 hours that had been allotted in our travel for the gondola trip and area sightseeing. It actually gave us more time to explore Bergen on a rain-free afternoon that was perfect. All communication throughout the process was very timely and very clear.

Hotel Reviews
Flåmsbrygga Hotel
Flåm

Beautiful location with a view of the fjord. Very clean, comfortable and spacious. A cute lodge feel. The hotel made a lovely break in travel and we enjoyed the Viking beer tasting dinner and Aegir the associated brewery. We also had a 5 minute walk to the floating fjord sauna experience that was a favorite of our on the trip. The breakfast was also delightful.

Gudvangen Fjordtell & Apartments
Gudvangen

A unique lodging experience. The Viking rooms are filled with handmade wooden furniture made locally and have skylights with views of the surrounding waterfalls and mountains. Very spacious, although a little worn. At low/early season we basically had the place to ourselves. So much so that they started the fire in the lodge just for us and we enjoyed a bottle of wine in front of the fire watching the rainfall one evening all by ourselves.

Bergen

A beautifully appointed hotel in the city center. A very short walk to Bryggen or Mathallen the fish market. It was a lovely indulgence with the romance package with flowers and champagne in the room upon arrival and in-room breakfast. The breakfast was wonderful. Also a short walk to the tram line and the main train station. Lovely room and enormous bathroom!

Hotel Victoria
Stavanger

Charming hotel! Full of character but with all the modern amenities. Surrounded by cobblestone streets with cafes, restaurants and shopping. On the wharf to access fjord tours. Fantastic breakfast and fun bar! Super cute bicycles for guests to use…the weather didn’t cooperate for us so we appreciated the umbrellas at the door also for guests to borrow!

Private Fjord Sauna experience
Private Fjord Sauna experience

Such an amazing experience! The sauna looked directly into the fjord. We listened to music, soaked in the sauna at 175 F (79C) and plunged in the fjord at 40 F (4C). It was incredibly invigorating! Very clean and well maintained with friendly, helpful staff.
