‘Best of Norway’ Small Group Tour
Loved the small group format.
The meet up set the stage and was really helpful for everyone. We may have just been super-lucky, but our tour group were just fabulous and made the trip very enjoyable.
Our Tour Leader, Johanna was just excellent - always going the extra mile. Calm, thoughtful and vibrant! She was so knowledgeable and her recommendations and the options given to suit different needs - were spot on. Her experience enabled her to be flexible with plans to get the most out of each day (eg to avoid cruise ship crowds and weather changes etc).
The little surprises - waffles, chocolates, Norwegian ‘tastings’ were really great. The attention to detail was fabulous. I think the ‘advice’ on what to pack/bring for each day and careful planning for toilet/comfort stops was greatly appreciated by all.
Our Norwegian driver brilliant - so experienced and so calm on those very tricky roads with lots of ‘holiday traffic’. He was also very knowledgeable about options and that added value to our days.
Great to stay in Aurland rather than Flåm. Much calmer and prettier. We loved the ‘rest day’ in Aurland, however the day after was then very long.
I loved the visit to the market garden and restaurant. Just a bit different to other meal options and very special. The presentation about the farm and the food were excellent.
The Bors hotel was lovely - just really confusing passage ways (a maze of halls) to find your room. Lovely restaurant.
Loved all the accommodation - rooms and meals were great. They all catered well for my dietary needs (low gluten and lactose). I was very appreciative.
