Our guide in Oslo was very knowledgeable and fun to be with. She provided a very good overview of the history and places to visit. This was helpful when we spent our last full day there.
The hike outside of Stavanger was beautiful but too difficult for me. Unfortunately I held up the other people on the hike. The guide was very nice but not as helpful for me.
The food walking tour in Bergen was great! The guide was knowledgeable and a lot of fun!
We really enjoyed the cider tasting in Balestrand!! The ciders were great along with the food, and the guide was very quirky in an amusing sort of way. The orchard was so beautiful. Great fun!!
We loved the ferry ride up the fjord to the glacier. The guide was great!!
We particularly loved everything about Flam!! The hotel was a nice spacious break from smaller hotel rooms. Our guide for the kayak tour made the trip lovely. My absolute favorite part about the entire trip was the RIB excursion. It was surreal!! And the guide; he couldn’t have been better. I was a bit tentative about the zip line trip, but it was the most exhilarating one minute I’ve ever spent.
All in all the trip exceeded our expectations!

Perfect location! The most amazing breakfast ever! Only minor issue is the room was a bit small and no ventilation.

I was overwhelmed with the beauty of the hotel as soon as we arrived. The staff couldn’t have been nicer. We enjoyed having a glass of wine in the afternoon and taking in the incredible scenery from the deck!

Loved the fact that the hotel was a little bit away from the harbor. The extra space made it feel like a small apartment which was nice to be able to spread out. It’s close to a small farm with a restaurant which was very nice.

The view from the small deck was fantastic.

It was very nice to see the city from the water at night all lit up with lights. The food was just ok.
