The trip was amazing that Ethel put together She extremely patient with my many changes to our travel plans. It would have taken me months to pull a trip like we experienced together. I really appreciated how she listened what we were interested in dining on our trip.

I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. The owner was very sexist and the food was bland and the worst meal we had In Norway. We would have preferred to stay in Bergen that night instead of spending 5 hours on this trip.
