About the tour
With their towering cliff faces, rugged rocky ledges and waterfalls that drop straight into the sea, the Norwegian fjords have to be seen to appreciate their majesty. Besides these natural wonders, we cross spell-binding landscapes to see Norway's magnificent cities.

Itinerary
We depart London Heathrow aboard our flight to Oslo. Situated beside a fjord and surrounded by forest-covered mountains, this beautiful city is known as the green capital thanks to its lush parks and stunning scenery. Oslo is also a cultural hub with many museums, galleries and theatres - and our hotel is close to the Oslo Opera House.

Very well organised trip - rep was one step ahead of any problems - one morning we woke to pouring rain and we were walking to the port to go on a cruise to Flam. By the time we finished breakfast our rep Charles had organised and paid for taxis to make sure we arrived dry and ready to enjoy the next stage of our tour - excellent service

The Norway's Fjords and landscapes are a marvel to see, the big cities are a wonderful experience, although this tour does not allow enough time for a full exploration of the capital (in my opinion). The train rides that we were able to take were breath taking at times looking out at the scenery and mountain topped with a little ice and edges of glaciers. The schedule at times was a little full on and not scheduled for enough time at each location again in our opinion. Overall a wonderful holiday with a lot of new friends.

Wonderful tour with excellent tour guide. The only downside was the rail journey on first day from Oslo to Bergen which was replaced by a coach journey. However this did enable a journey through different scenery.

Great trip. Norway is beautiful, clean, welcoming and expensive! Our tour manager, Phil, was excellent and he handled an office admin error with ticketing very well indeed. The last day in Oslo felt a little rushed but, overall, a relaxing week away.

The whole of this experience was a joy except maybe the flight which was our choice of route. Once there the scenery the travel the food and the travel manager could not be faulted. The mix of trains boats and cable cars even most of the walking kept us interested. We even found a place to swim in a fjord. Can’t wait to go on another trip.

Excellent and knowledgeable Tour Manager, well organised with good variety of activities in cities (Oslo and Bergen), town (Voss), mountains and fjords. Went in July and the weather was perfect. Made me want to return to see more of Norway.
