Julia had a prolonged duty with our trip planning due to the Covid shutdown of the travel industry in 2020. She would be in contact with us multiple times in 2020, 2021 and finally ,in 2022 ,Norway was open to us to travel there. Julia, along with Sonia’s assistance, reorganized our travel itinerary and got our needs met. We had one hotel glitch on our trip but Sonia was quick to respond and mediated on our behalf. By days end the problem was resolved.
The hotels Julia selected for us were very good to great and I must say Hotel Bondeheimen in Oslo and Hotel 1904 in Alesund are great boutique hotels. All of the selected hotels included breakfast which really helps manage your food costs and all offered good to very good quality food.
Julia arranged for my desired destinations to include train, automobile and ship travel. We covered a lot of area in southern Norway and feel like we got our money’s worth from the skillful organization of our travel itinerary.
We heartily endorse Julia and Sophia to anyone wanting to plan a trip to Norway.

Hotel Reviews
Hotell Bondeheimen
Oslo

I consider this establishment a boutique hotel because it has skillfully merged modern design with a once formal Victorian building. It has a lot of character so it’s not a pattern you typically see with chain hotels. The staff were all cordial and professional in our daily interactions. They were also very fluent in English which is great since I know about 20 Norwegian words. This hotel had the best breakfast out of the five accommodations we booked with. A very large variety of foods, great quality and very nice dining area.

What a gorgeous property, perhaps my all- time favorite. Again a modern merger with a regal old hotel building. So tasteful in design and comfort.
