We added Norway trip to our Iceland trip towards the end. Eliise jumped in gave us options. We went back and forth few times to nail down what we wanted based on our liking and budget. She was very open with the options and suggestions. She even guided us in things that we decided to do on our own. We landed in Oslo and then spent most of our time in Bergen. There was an issue with hotel reservation and had to call emergency number. It was resolved eventually. Hotel was fantastic and location was just dead center. Loved the cruise and train rides. Only thing I would say is that there was not much follow up from the planner like our other trips.

Hotel Reviews
Bergen Børs Hotel
Bergen

Location was the best. Right in center of Bergen. Staff was friendly and onsite restaurant was great. Little pricey but it was Michelin rated. Breakfast was great and the decor inside was awesome.

Radisson Blu Airport Hotel, Oslo Gardemoen
Gardemoen

We had an early flight so it was perfect that this hotel was right across from Oslo airport. Staff was friendly and guided us with trip to Oslo city center. They even provided packed breakfast though we ended up eating there. Breakfast spread was amazing with so many varieties and catering to all dietary restrictions. Room was spacious. Trash can in bathroom was broken but other than that it was comfortable.

Authenticity & Character
nice views of airport. usb ports and 110volts plugs
Location
Perfect if you want to be next to airport. Train station is right next as well if you want to go to city center.
Staff
Very friendly and helpful. Helped with trip to Oslo city center, provided umbrella as it was raining, provided to go breakfast.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Room was clean and comfy.
Activity Review
Mostraumen Cruise
Mostraumen Cruise
Bergen

Cruise was very comfortable and some great views of the near by village, Bergen bryggen and water falls along the way. Ship was comfortable with ample space on the deck and inside heated cabin. Restrooms were there too. They had a cafe with lots of food and drink options. The crew gave a treasure hunt/bingo for kids to spot and gave ice creams. Only improvement would be better windows for the inside cabin for better view.
