Excellent tour of a beautiful country. Tour was well planned and the stops were just amazing! The guide, Chris Webb, was knowledgeable and had plenty of stories to share to keep us entertained during the tour.
Scenic Norway★★★★★ If There Were a Nobel Prize for Travel Directors, Greg Colgin Would Win It! We have just returned from an incredible journey through Norway, and while Norway itself was absolutely breathtaking, one of the greatest highlights of our trip was our wonderful Travel Director, Greg Colgin. If the Nobel Prize could ever be awarded to a Travel Director, there is absolutely no question — it should go to Greg! Where do I even begin? Maybe with his contagious laughter — the kind of laughter that instantly makes everyone around him laugh too, even before they know what they’re laughing about. 😊 Greg has this wonderful ability to bring joy and warmth wherever he goes. But his true superpower is people. Our group included travelers of different ages, personalities, backgrounds, and expectations — including picky teenagers and, yes, even a few occasionally grumpy older folks! Somehow, Greg managed not only to connect with every single person, but to bring all of us together. By the end of the journey, we didn’t feel like a group of strangers traveling on the same bus anymore. We felt like one big, slightly crazy, very happy traveling family. Greg is incredibly caring and always seems to be thinking two steps ahead. Before you even realize you might need something, Greg has already thought about it, organized it, or somehow made it appear. And then there were the surprises! Wonderful little treats, delicious goodies, and thoughtful moments along the way that made us feel completely spoiled. Only Greg can do this… although, of course, we don't want to hurt the feelings of all the other wonderful Trafalgar Travel Directors. 😉 His knowledge is extraordinary, but what makes it special is the way he shares it. Greg is a fantastic storyteller — interesting, funny, engaging, and never boring. He doesn't simply tell you facts about a place; he makes you want to listen, learn, and discover more. Everything was so beautifully organized that we could simply relax and enjoy Norway. Yet what impressed me most was how personal the experience felt. Even with such a large group, Greg somehow made you feel that he was thinking about you individually — your comfort, your experience, and whether you were having a wonderful time. That is a very rare gift. Greg, thank you for the laughter, the stories, the surprises, the care, the endless energy, and for turning a beautiful trip through Norway into something we will remember with such warmth for many years. And now we have only one little problem… We are already jealous of the lucky people who are going on Greg's next trip! As for us, we will absolutely be planning another journey with him. Where? Honestly… anywhere. If Greg is leading it, we're going. ❤️
Best of NorwayThe itinerary, guide and organization were very good. There was some fatigue time in the mini-bus, but it's not like there were superhighways connecting all the beautiful spots we visited.

What our customers ask about Coach / Bus Tours & Trips in Norway
What are the key attractions covered on most bus tours in Norway?
Norway's coach tours follow well-planned routes connecting the country's natural and cultural landmarks. Travelers visit the deep waters of UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord and Sognefjord while making stops at Bergen's colorful Bryggen wharf and Oslo's striking Vigeland Sculpture Park. The routes pass through small towns that showcase local life including Voss Lillehammer and Lom where a 12th-century stave church stands as a testament to Norwegian history. Accommodations like Hotel Alexandra in Loen serve as convenient bases for exploring these sites. A TourRadar traveler shares: "The scenery was breathtaking - from dramatic fjords to glaciers with perfectly timed stops at all the must-see Norwegian landmarks."
What kind of accommodations can I expect on a Norway coach tour?
Modern 3-4 star hotels form the backbone of Norway's coach tour accommodations. Properties like the Thon Hotel Cecil in Oslo and Quality Sogndal in the fjord region provide comfortable rooms with essential amenities and traditional Norwegian breakfast spreads. Smaller destinations feature properties like the Fretheim Hotel in Flåm where guests wake up to fjord views. A TourRadar traveler notes: "The hotels were well-chosen for their locations though standards varied - the Kviknes Hotel in Balestrand with its fjord views was definitely a highlight."
What is the best time of year to take a coach tour in Norway?
Summer months from June through August bring the Midnight Sun and temperatures between 15-25°C making it the busiest season for coach tours. The shoulder months of May and September offer similar experiences with fewer tourists. Winter tours from November to March present opportunities to see the Northern Lights particularly around Tromsø though mountain routes may be limited. A TourRadar traveler notes: "We went in July and had perfect weather for fjord cruising and hiking plus extended daylight hours to maximize sightseeing."
What meals are typically included on Norway coach tours?
Daily hotel buffet breakfasts showcase Norwegian cuisine with local specialties like smoked salmon brown cheese and fresh breads. Tours usually include several dinners particularly in remote fjord locations while cities like Bergen and Oslo allow travelers to explore local restaurants independently. A TourRadar traveler shares: "The included breakfasts were excellent and our guide recommended great local restaurants for other meals - the seafood in Bergen was exceptional."
How much free time do I have to explore independently on a coach tour in Norway?
Free time ranges from 2-3 hours in major cities to relaxed evenings in smaller towns like Ulvik and Nordfjordeid. Stops at key sites such as Geirangerfjord or Bergen's harbor typically allow 1-2 hours for independent exploration. Hotels like the Brakanes Hotel in Ulvik serve as comfortable bases for evening walks and local dining. One TourRadar traveler notes "I appreciated having free evenings in Nordfjordeid to discover local cafes and walk along the stunning Eidsfjorden at sunset - it was the perfect balance of guided activities and personal exploration time."
What is the typical daily schedule like on a coach tour in Norway?
Days begin between 8-9am with 4-6 hours of driving through Norway's fjord landscapes. Regular stops occur every 2-3 hours at significant sites including Geirangerfjord Sognefjord and historic towns. Hotels like the Zander K in Bergen provide strategic overnight locations between journey segments. A TourRadar traveler reports: "The organization of the itinerary and efficiency of getting from one location to another was superb with well-planned rest stops at scenic points."
