Ride Geiranger’s mountain roads to Dalsnibba, Djupvatn, and Eagle Road for sweeping fjord views on a 3.5-hour shore excursion.
“Check each tour with the operator to make sure you have the same tour time with them that was on your confirmed tickets because they changed the time with us without any notification at all.”
Review of Flåm’s five-hour shore excursion to Stegastein, Borgund Stave Church, Lærdalsøyri, snowy mountains, and the Lærdal Tunnel.
“Everything was amazing! And Alexa has been blessed with such a talent, voice and charm that we couldn’t have had a better guide. The route was perfectly curated. I would do this one again in the future!”
Explore Åkrafjorden and 612-meter Langfoss waterfall on a scenic Haugesund shore trip with local stories, easy port pickup, and photo stops.
“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 from Olden to Briksdal Glacier beside waterfalls and turquoise lakes on a guided four-hour cruise shore excursion.
“Had a great time. The hike took 30-40 mins. Can be a bit of a steep incline but the view is worth it. We had plenty of time to see the glacier, eat, and visit the gift shop. Very knowledgeable tour guide. The bus space was tight but it was a double decker”
Review of Ålesund’s Fjords to Trolls shore excursion, covering fjords, Gudbrandsjuvet, Trollstigen Plateau, waterfalls, lunch, timing, and value.
“This is the tour company to use! From the first moment we reached the cruise terminal exit we were impressed. They had people in yellow jackets all along the way to keep pointing us in the right direction. It was a short 3 minute walk. They had comfortable clean buses with a bathroom aboard. We left right at the time they said we would leave. Lulu the guide and Bill the bus driver were excellent. We learned a lot about the area, the Troll myth and why the houses on the farms had grass on their roof. You have to take the tour to find out why. We made several…”
Review of Ålesund’s 4-hour shore excursion, with Sunnmøre Museum, Alnes Lighthouse, art nouveau streets, scenic islands, price, and practical tips.
“While our tour of Ålesund had the potential to be an enjoyable experience, the conduct of one individual tainted the journey. The tour guides were friendly, engaging, and eager to assist, making an effort to create a welcoming atmosphere. However, the behavior of the bus driver, Julian, was unacceptable and deeply disappointing. After mistakenly opening the door while it was closed, I immediately apologized for the error. Despite this, Julian continued to berate and scold both me and my friend—who walks with a cane—treating us as though we were misbehaving children rather than paying customers. His aggressive approach made us feel bullied and unnecessarily humiliated. When the bus was fi...”
Chase three waterfalls from Bergen, walk behind Steinsdalsfossen, cruise Hardangerfjord scenery, and explore Norheimsund on a six-hour guided tour.
“I highly recommend this trip, not only you get to see some beautiful waterfalls and the peaceful Norwegian countryside, but you also find out so much about the culture, customs, architecture etc. Our tour guide Bas was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful.”
Review of Åndalsnes’ Troll Road and Troll Wall excursion, with mountain views, waterfalls, folklore, cruise timing, value, and closure advice.
“Coach trip around the Åndalsnes area. We were informed of revised itinerary due to the closure of the Troll Road. Enjoyed the trip around but the stop at a Troll campsite was a waste of time in my opinion. Guide gave us some information about the local area which was interesting.”
Hike to Briksdal Glacier from Olden through waterfalls, mountain peaks, and lake views on a four-hour cruise-friendly shore excursion.
“If you want to avoid the big bus tours this is for you. The tour guide was informative and provided information along the way.”
Oslo hop-on hop-off bus review covering stops, museums, port access, timing, audio problems, weather, and value for cruise passengers.
“The bus never came, and then they rejected my refund, and literally wrote that they didn’t issue my refund because they didn’t feel like it. Spend your $100+ dollars literally anywhere else. It completely ruined my trip.”
