The itinerary was fantastic, and overall, I was very pleased with the trip to Norway. However, I encountered a problem with the accommodation. I chose shared lodging with someone of the same gender, but in most hotels, we were provided with a double bed, which I found rather odd. Other than that, everything was excellent.

This trip to Norway was a really spectacular experience. We did so much and each day we looked at what we'd done and it was amazing discussing how much we had fit into each day. However, somehow the pace felt gentle and relaxing and there was space to breathe and take it all in. It was so more than a sightseeing holiday. I felt that we made true personal connections and learned so much from the local interactions entwined into this journey. The landscapes were of course a huge highlight but learning to cook a local dish, sharing a cider with the owner of a stunning Fjord-side orchard, chatting to our wonderful guide about her life in Norway. These were the things which made this trip extraordinary and set it apart from others. Oh and the food will blow you away!

The places and scheduling were great. We are glad we came in a day early to Oslo, giving us a chance to get on the water there as well as seeing the Opera house. Travel Director was tremendous. Some of the "guides" at specific stops were a bit disappointing in that they seemed rushed and not real responsive to questions. Anyway. we've made positive recommendations to a number of friends.
