See Geirangerfjord highlights from Mt. Dalsnibba, Flydalsjuvet, Lake Djupvatn, and Eagle Road in a 3.5-hour shore excursion.
“Awesome experience with the bus climbing up to the top of the mountain with fabulous views all around - Five stars also to our bus driver and tour guide.”
Half-day guided trip from Flåm: Stegastein viewpoint, Borgund Stave Church, Lærdalsøyri, Snowy Road, and the Lærdal Tunnel.
“The tour was well managed by Salome who explained about the trip perfectly. We had plenty of time in each of the stops. The viewpoint was stunning. The snowy road part was amazing and we walked to a snowy area with a lovely lake and waterfall. Then we visited a pretty town with old wooded houses. Then returned after a visit to an old stave church. Great trip. I recommend the trip and especially the guide Salome.”
A half-day from Haugesund to Langfoss waterfall, Åkrafjorden fjord views, and the Haraldshaugen unification monument with an English guide.
“This tour is a must do. Highly recommended. Although we were supposed to get on in Haugesund, it worked out great since we boarded in Olden”
Hike to Briksdalbreen Glacier from Olden, with guided coach views, lakeside photo stops, and a 4-hour shore day built around the ice.
“It was fantastic. A strenuous hike, but worth the effort. Our guide, Laura was exceptional and the bus was well equipped.”
Ålesund fjords and troll country in one day, with Gudbrandsjuvet, Trollstigen views, waterfalls, and optional lunch, plus tight timing.
“Beautiful view, worth every penny, bus driver did excellent job. You have to go, must visit area if you are in Iceland”
Alesund half-day shore excursion with Sunnmøre Museum, a real lighthouse climb at Alnes, and art nouveau sights, guided in English.
“Too many people on this tour. Couldn’t hear the guide as couldn’t get close enough. Envied those I saw on other tours who had quiet boxes. Feel we missed out on important information about locations we visited. Enjoyed the locations we visited but don’t feel we were culturally enriched.”
Åndalsnes shore trip to Troll Road and Troll Wall, with the Trollfolk film, Stigfossen waterfall stops, and Trollveggen center views.
“Took some nice pictures of the troll wall, but the details for this excursion need to be re-written to reflect the fact that this tour no longer actually travels the winding road. Unfortunately, the description still mentions that you travel the hairpin turns (which you don’t) and mentions that you get to look out over it from the top (which you don’t). You do get to see it but they drive you to the bottom as high as they can before the road closes and then you take pictures.”
Guided Briksdal Glacier shore hike from Olden with a scenic bus ride, waterfall views, and a cruise ship safe return. 4 hours, $146.
“it was truly beautiful. we had a great time. I would have easily given 5 stars, but the bus was late arriving to pick us up. Everyone was looking around because no one (including other vendors) new where the bus was or if it was coming. once we got started, it was a great trip. we enjoyed talking with the tour guide as well.”
A cruise-day hop-on hop-off bus that links Oslo’s key sights, museums, and harbor views with frequent departures and recorded audio in multiple languages.
“I made a mistake in booking and was told I unable to change the day because it was too close. I asked right away after booking. Did not get to enjoy it. Chose another company for my trip because this was didn’t care about me as a customer.”
Hellesylt to Geiranger UNESCO area by bus: Hornindal Lake, Dalsnibba, Skywalk panoramas, Stryn, and a back-to-ship timing day. $188.
“Mi è piaciuta l'organizzazione e l'itinerario proposto... Avendo con me i miei genitori che non capivano l'inglese aver avuto la guida in italiano avrebbe aiutato a rendere l'escursione ancora più interessante per tutti”
A private shore excursion from Leknes to Hauklandstranda, seaweed, Nusfjord, Ramberg, and Reine, with coffee, views, and local stops.
