We enjoyed our trip to Norway and Denmark. Our tour guide and bus driver were amazing. had a wealth of information, very courteous, funny and was very attentive to all of our needs. Our bus driver was also amazing. Well dressed every day, extremely professional and always helped us on and off the bus and one night, even brought our luggage up to our rooms due to a change in our getting to our next destination. We found most of the choices that Insight planned, were good. We would have liked another day in Oslo. On our own, arriving a day early, we visited City Hall and the Nobel Peace Prize museum. Both should have been offered in the tour. The picture of the house where the president lives, that was featured in the brochure, we didn’t visit. We would have enjoyed more time in Denmark. It seems like we were riding on the bus for a long, long time. We know that you can’t control the weather, but it was a long, long ferry ride, in the rain to see another waterfall, cave and where Tom Cruise jumped off a cliff in his latest movie.

The locations included in the tour were spot on, and free time allowed for some additional exploration. The only downside is many single night stays.
