Oslo Tours in Fall

20 out of 10 stars and I enjoyed every single detail our tour guide placed into our week. I loved not having to worry or work to do anything logistical. Even the van we were picked up in at airport was luxurious. The tour guide was there at the airport and the tour guide made sure we were all safely departed from our hotel to airport on last day. He added so many special details into our week and was very knowledgable! I believe Collette did a great job setting up the trip but the tour guide is who makes it memorable and perfect. Thank you Mickie!!!

Fantastic tour! I would recommend it to anyone. Our Guide, "Shabby" was great. She was very informative all along the way, with sights, history and even music. The tour itself was well planned, with plenty of sightseeing mixed in with the driving. We have to give a shout out to our driver, who negotiated the treacherous Norwegian roads with aplomb. All in all, a great tour.

On our own, we visited Henrik Ibsen's house w/tour and museum. Very Special! Tour should include famous people's homes and/or museum options in the future. Very comfortable accommodations, clean air and water, beautiful sites, excellent bus driver (Steph) and tour guide (Mattias), informative and fun trivia games, special sculpture garden (Oslo), great bus tour, wonderful fjords and mountain vistas and tunnels, welcoming people, etc.

The tour leader and driver made the tour with their banter and entertainment. The country is absolutely beautiful and as we progressed, one sight was more breath-taking than the previous one.

Spitsbergen, Greenland and Iceland - M/V Greg Mortimer GREENLAND, SPITSBERGEN- TRIP CODE GMGI August 2024 We joined the Greg Mortimer in Svalbard having spent the night in a hotel in Longyearbyen. The ship is modern, clean and bright. Our cabin was on the 6th deck with a balcony accessed by a sliding door with room to sit out so long as we put enough clothes on. It had ample storage space, a wonderful en-suite with a heated floor, sheer luxury! All types of plug were catered for so recharging batteries was easy. The first 3 days were spent round Svalbard looking at the wildlife and scenery. Leaving the ship on the zodiacs was very easy and well thought out. We ended up wearing 5 layers to stay warm. Sitting in the zodiac for a couple of hours could get very cold with out the right gear. The ship itself is well appointed with plenty of observation space, both indoor and outdoor. The lecture theatre is excellent and, if you don’t want to attend, you can watch the proceedings from your cabin on the TV. The food was very good, Buffet style lunches and a good menu in the evenings. Crossing the Greenland Sea on the 4th day was a little rough but the ship has stabilisers which worked well. There was a noticeable lack of people in the dining room on the first night though. Reaching Greenland, the itinerary was adjusted based on the weather and conditions. Each day we generally had two zodiac trips with landings when we could. The supplied Wellington Boots were comfortable and warm although we did supplement them with a thermal sole insert and two pairs of socks. The landscape is fantastic with towering cliffs and glaciers coming down to the sea. The scale is hard to describe as there is not much to compare it with but some mountains like the Devil’s Castle loom over the ship at some 1100m. Very impressive. Each day was at a different site with the ship moving overnight. We did get to see a couple of Polar Bears, seals, walruses, musk ox and plenty of birds. All in all, a wonderful trip full of fantastic scenery and wildlife on a comfortable ship designed for the job. The crew were excellent and always helpful as were the very knowledgeable Expedition staff. If you want to see a mostly untouched wilderness with stunning views and wildlife, we can recommend this trip.

This was a wonderful way to see the splendours of Norway. Our enthusiastic guide Shabby and excellent driver Si, made sure we experienced and learned so much about Norway. We travelled almost 1000 miles in comfort with many interesting stops and walks. We saw much more than any cruise ship could offer. Certainly the best way to discover the wonders of Norway
