All of our planning and questions were handled very well snd quickly by Karri and the team. Arrival in Oslo was seamless. Hotels, all were of very good quality and location for our activities. Train and ferry tickets issued under one bar code did 6 people certainly simplified our travelling.

Overall we had a great experience from start to finish

Felt a bit rushed between the ferry landing, catching her bus to the interpretation centre, viewing the centre and then going on to the glacier. More timdd ed in the interpretation centre would have been good. Didn’t get to see the exhibits, watch the videos and grab some lunch without feeling rushed. Add 20 - 30 minutes to this portion of the trip
