Norway Trip
Our guide in Oslo, Lene was very knowledgeable and accommodating to some mobility issues. The Thief Hotel was great, centrally located and very comfortable and helpful staff. The train trip to Flåm was memorable and we really enjoyed our time in Flåm. The fjord cruise was beautiful, but the large number of people on the boat was not what we expected, as our itinerary indicated small group. The hotel in Bergen was unsatisfactory, but I have already communicated that to Alex and he has responded favorably.
Hotel Reviews
The historic nature of this hotel means that you give up a little in the comfort of the accomodation. Specifically, the shower over tub in the bathroom was difficult for us.
The room assigned to us had a drainage problem in the bathroom. Tub drain overflowed, flooding the bathroom. When I asked to be moved, I was told there were no rooms available and they offered to send up extra towels. I insisted that was no solution and they were able to find a room for us. We had no assistance in moving to the new room.
Activity Reviews
Fun was to spend a few hours. Great views
Our driver had a battery problem with his car and was unable to pick us up. He said we were being assigned another driver. I called the company because I had not heard from them. They gave me information on the new driver. However, he was not the one who picked us up. We ultimately made it to the airport, but felt it was a little dicey.
Itinerary was too much to accomplish in the afternoon we were there. We visited the National Museum, which was great.
Lene was excellent.
We saw only part of the exhibit, but it was very interesting.
Did not go there.
We were not able to complete this hike due to time and physical ability constraints.
Very cute village, if somewhat touristy.
Was pleasantly surprised and pleased with this activity.
Thomas was quite a good guide and gave us a good experience. He was somewhat difficult to understand,
Well, it was an experience. My husband thought the food and beer pairing were good. I didn’t drink beer. The food was OK for the most part and you have to consider the experience. I did not care for 2 of the 5 dishes.
Cruise was just a boat ride. The cruise out of Flåm was way more interesting. We were there on a Monday and much of Rosendal was closed. We visited the rose garden at the Baroniet, but the castle was closed.
