The hospitality in all locations was great and accomodating for vegetarians. The routes were fairly simple to follow.

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.Show more

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!Show more

After visiting a few times the most popular hiking regions in Europe we decided to explore further north and our natural choice fell to Norway. The area of this walking tour is within easy reach of Oslo. It was a bit pricey but nothing in Norway is cheap. Actually many of the other treks we considered were even more expensive and we were glad that we found this one. The tour was excellent and all land arrangements went smooth. We were lucky to have clear skies throughout our stay. We are considering visiting Sweden now.Show more
