Pre trip planning was excellent. Mar and Fenne were responsive to all my questions and made adjustments based on my needs.

Great hotel right in the center of everything which allowed for walking. Would have been helpful to know where to park before arriving.

The hotel was nice but full of very large tourist groups coming in on buses. It made finding a time for breakfast a little difficult.

The boat tour guide was very fun and knowledgeable. The cheese tasting was underwhelming, not bad just wasn’t as involved as I expected.

It was a much more intimate experience in a small boat as we were able to get up closer to the sites.

The walk from the center of town to the cable car was very nice. I took the ride up and walked down which I definitely felt for the next two days.

Luckily I had good weather. This probably isn’t worth it if it rainy and foggy.

Although the weather was a little rainy I was still able to zip line. I got wet on the bike ride back into town but it was still worth it.

While you can get to Geiranger by car, the ferry trip is worth it.

Because it was cold, rainy and windy we weren’t able to get as far as I would have liked. It was fun and the guide was great but the weather was a damper.
