    Had a great time. Your team helped reschedule the bus and hotel reservations after our flight got cx and we were 24 hrs late getting to Norway. Everything else went off great! Food and lodging all great. Loved the country and hikes were amazing! Highly recommend!

    The tour was very well organised, everything we needed was taken care of and there was no confusion about accomodation or baggage transfers. The hospitality in all locations was great and accomodating for vegetarians. Self-guided hiking was excellent as the routes were fairly simple to follow, and although a popular time, it was very private whilst hiking allowing us to enjoy the views and scenery at our own pace.

    This was a great tour with a good value that allowed us to easily plan many days for an wonderful experience. Highlights: easy instructions, booking, and awesome hikes. Some areas of improvement: * Ideally would be good to know in advance whether we have a private double room or shared quad. * The last day had 5 hours of scheduled downtime before catching our bus. We were able to ask about schedules and hop on an earlier one. Wish this was scheduled in place to start. * Download GPS!

    Fabulous adventure! We even asked to be dropped off at Bergen instead of Oslo when the tour ended, but this was not a problem for Traventuria to accommodate!
