  Friendly guide sharing general knowledge, experienced drivers on snow and very safe. BUT: - lack of preparation in program details - ratio between number of coach hours and number of interesting activities, sites or stops bcp bcp bcp too low (first 2 days exclusively gas stations for pee stops!) - non-optimized itinerary (several-hour round trip to pseudo-Sami farm, in fact a brief stopover for tourists) - shamelessly high price for the services provided (5 nights' hotel accommodation and entry to a wildlife park)Show more

  I had the most amazing time on this trip with people i didn't know, but we all got on fine. There were 2 other solo travelers on the tour which was good. There are a lot of long drives on this tour but actually I didn't mind that as it gives you time to admire the scenery and rest a little and our Guide Luiz was truly amazing, giving us a lot of information on the way and telling us about his life. Was all very interesting, our guide as I said before was excellent as was the driver of the coach. He was also very friendly and helpful - both were very easy to talk to and you could obviously see they loved their jobs. The only thing I would say about this tour is there is a bit of free time and you have options to do other things, however I was not informed of this prior to the trip so had to book last minute, which wasn't a problem as Luiz sorted it out for me but it would've been helpful if the company had let me know what was on offer. The hotels were all very good, with great view in all of them, except the first and last hotel in Tromso, The Quality Inn was the greatest hotel, maybe because it was in the middle of the city, it was pretty basic compared to all the others. I must say that the breakfast in all the hotels were so good and very plentiful. I would highly recommend this tour as long as you know in advance about the extra tours you can book. Unfortunately we didn't see the northern lights, it was scheduled in our itinerary but you can never be sure to see them. That night we went out and Luiz had bought some cookies and some hot water for tea/coffee which was a lovely idea. I think they didn't go out far enough for us to see the lights. Highly recommended trip.Show more

  Over all I’m satisfied except I was forgotten to be pick up at Tromso airport on the day of my arrival. Had to make couple of calls to made the company aware that I was waiting for more than an hour at the airport. I hope this don’t happen to any future traveling with this tour group. VOS needs to communicate clearly with their pick up and transfer back to the airport. If it wasn’t for the our Tour guide Ms Lorna Cannon who was so kind, helpful I could have given VOS a bad rating but she made my very first visit to Norway fun and memorable. Over all I’m well satisfied and willing to go back to Tromso.Show more
