Fabulous trip! John in Began was very good and took us to areas we would not have ventured. Trondheim guide was good and provided an interesting tour. Cycling tour Tromso was very good. We also did our own tour to the Russian border which was eye opening. Went to old and new border crossings. I would recommend this.
The tour itself in both Hurtigrutin and Havila were exceptional. The crew on Hurtigrutin were more relaxed and humorous while Havila was a bit more refined. Enjoyed both. The inn in Aurland was quaint with a very interesting couple running it and room was very good with exceptional views. All the hotels were exceptional and the breakfasts were fabulous.

We didn’t do the planning but our friend Renee and our organizer Mathia did a great job!!

Thanks again for some a wonderful trip and great memories!!

Dear Nancy,
Thank you very much for your great review.
I am happy to hear the activities we planned together, especially the one organized by Hurtigruten and Havila, were so satisfying and interesting. It is true that a big part of the planning is thanks to Renee, and I hope she and Paul will have the opportunity of visiting Norway soon, maybe with the same itinerary and your additional recommendations. You and Kevin have been kind and friendly. I will miss our "Norwegian" phone calls. :) You can contact me at any time for a second trip to beautiful Norway.
Best Regards
Mathia
