Christina was very accommodating from the start. Despite time constraints and limited period to prepare, she crafted an amazing itinerary for me and my husband. She replied to our queries, she was available when we needed help and offered alternatives when activities were cancelled due to lack of snow. We were blessed to see the Aurora Borealis twice in a row, and the fjords left me crying in awe. Christina went the extra mile to make our Norway experience an amazing one. We cannot thank her enough. Thank you, Christina! Thank you, KimKim!

Wish the staff could be more accomodating. When the taxi was not sending a message, staff said it was her first time to encounter that. Did not help

I think it would have been better in spring or fall when the trees had brighter colors.

Guide was accomodating and fetched us when we got lost. She was very informative. She gave us wrong directions, though, as to where to alight going to the cable car.😀

Was happy but pitied the dogs too. I will not do it again because I feel for the dogs. The staff were very kind, helped me get into the suit and understood me when I was slow in walking. The guy even offered a tissue paper because my nose got runny. Staff took pictures of us.

Wish the guide was more interesting and also offered to take our pics when Aurora appeared. Sebastian was especially accommodating and helped us take pics and talked to us.

Hi Maria Christina.

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback!
I am so happy you finally got to go on this trip and that you had a good time!

As you mention it was a last minute trip and therefor the availability for accommodation was a bit limited.
Luckily you did not come to stay in your room!:)

I am so happy that you got such a great light show on the sky!

It was a pleasure planning with you and follow your journey. Thank you for updating me along the way and sharing amazing pictures of your experiences.

You will of course be refunded for the guided trip you were supposed to go on. It should be in any day now.

Sending apologies from both us and the guide for this inconvenience.

We hope to get the pleasure of welcoming you again, should you decide to come for a second visit.

Warm regards,
Christina
