What people love about Norwegian Fjords Tours for Seniors
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.
Norway: Fjords and Glaciers
- Magical Fjord Adventure
The tour was great. The connections of the transportation (ferries, trains) were very smooth. The hotels are very close to the train station or ferry terminals. The hotel in Balestrand is beautiful at the waterfront, the dinner buffet is excellent.
- Norway Fjord Trekking
The trip was very well organized and the experience of the guide made the hikes very enjoyable and safe. I really enjoyed the hikes and the trip but it would have been great to chose an alternative for the glacier hike.
