What people love about Norwegian Fjords Tours for Seniors
- Norway: Fjords and Glaciers
The 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.
- Magic of the Fjords - 7 days
The hotel in Bergen was in a great spot so that we could get to the ferry easily as was the hotel in Balestrand. It was a long day from Balestrand to Oslo with the scenery on the ferry, the Flam railway and the trains stunning. It was very good that there was a bus to take us from the station in Oslo to the hotel. The tours of Bergen and Oslo were excellent and the tour guide excellent. We were so lucky with the weather. An excellent trip
