    Our tour with Blue Roads Tours in Norway was excellent. Our tour guide had a vast wealth of knowledge, was organized, personable, and able to work around issues we encounter with late season travel.

    Our guide was pleasant, helpful, easy to get along with and worked hard to pass on information about Norway and its sights. The fjords and glaciers were amazing! However, the schedule given by the tour company left something to be desired. What bothered the majority of us the most was that we didn’t even need to be on the bus until 9:45 a.m. the morning we left Leikanger for Bergen! Our guide couldn’t change it because the company had us booked for the stave church which is about all we did that day except for photo stops and one waterfall. It would have been so much nicer to get to Bergen earlier which would’ve allowed time to explore before dinner. We agreed with others in our group that the cafe, rest room, and some of the photo stops were too long. Chopping time here and there could’ve gotten us to our lodging earlier, given us the opportunity to eat earlier or explore, whatever. Some of the lodging more than satisfactory but two lodgings were not to our liking. The first was scheduled to be in Sogndal. The rooms were so small that we sat in the hotel’s lounge until time to sleep; fortunately the lounge was comfortable. The lodging on the last night before going to Bergen was in lodging that should also be removed from the list. It had small, dated rooms where, just like the Sogndal hotel, it was difficult to move around in with 2 pieces of luggage also taking up space! Making things worse was the breakfast. ALL of the other lodgings had a wonderful breakfast but this hotel in Leikanger provided, at best, a sparse breakfast which lacked the foods I had enjoyed at the other hotels. Perhaps travelers should have the option to upgrade rooms. We did so at the first two hotels once we arrived and enjoyed the benefits. Nights two and three were spent at a hotel that did not include dinner. That bothered all of us because the only other option was to find a grocery and somehow put a meal together. We elected to eat in the dining room and enjoyed it but most didn’t want to spend the money. It was the nicest hotel of the bunch and really got our time near the fjords off to a good start. If the tour company could’ve spent another 78 Norweigian krona per person on providing dinner those two nights, all would’ve been happy. They could’ve added that amount to the trip cost in our respective currencies and it would not have been enough to stop us from going. In fact, the more meals offered, the more enticing a trip is! There was another tour group having dinner together at that same hotel but, sadly, not us. In summary, the tour company needs to review some of their lodging, schedules, and even included dinners. It was really hard to be someplace for two nights with no dinner options except the hotel because so many places are closed on Monday and Tuesday. We loved the sights, enjoyed our guide and fellow travelers but the pace was slow. We were glad we could get her to move the schedule up 1/2 hour one day.

    Trip exceeded our expectations with tremendous scenery and loads of enjoyable encounters at the fjords, glaciers, summits, and waterfalls, Flamsbana, salmon farm, boat excursion,and beer tasting were great activities. Small group made the journey more friendly and flexible. Guide Maarit Ritvanen was super -- engaged, informative, and pleasant. My highest recommendation for overall experience.
