To Norway with Love

May 18 - May 29, 2023
Our trip to Norway was absolutely amazing. All of the arrangements Mathia made for us were exactly what we were hoping. The hotels were great (Bergen Bors - Wonderful), the fishing cabins were great, all of the people were dealt with were friendly and helpful. My favorite place was Reine and second was Aurland. The Fjord cruise through the Nærøyfjord was absolutely spectacular and kyaking in Reine was one of the highpoints. I would skip Svolvaer next time, but probably because the weather was so miserable, but the Svinoya Rorbuer was great, the food was outstanding, the sauna was fun. All of Mathia's recommendations were so helpful. The Flam Railway was amazing as well. We even saw the King & Queen drive past when we were at the Fortress in Bergen. But, enough about all that, I would like to praise Mathia for a moment. Mathia was OUTSTANDING. He was responsive very quickly when we had inquiries, he made alternate arrangements when some of our excursions were cancelled, he checked in to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and to see if we needed anything. When I return to Norway, I will definitely be utilizing Mathia again; he truly was just the best.
Hotel Reviews
The Thon Hotel Opera in Oslo was great. The staff was really nice and very helpful. The overall experience was pleasant.
The Svinøya Rorbuer was a nice fishing cabin with an amazing restaurant in a building from the 1800s. The staff took good care of us, but the town itself was a bit too industrial and less appealing.
The Reine Rorbuer was my absolute favorite. The people there were amazing, and the place itself was the most beautiful I've ever seen. The kayaking activity during our stay there was also my favorite part of the whole trip.
The Bergen Børs Hotel was fantastic, the front desk staff especially.
The Thon Hotel Oslo Airport was great. The dining room staff was amazing, and the food felt like it came from a five-star restaurant. The overall experience was absolutely delicious and enjoyable.
Activity Reviews
The Fjord cruise was amazing. It was everyone's favorite activity during the trip. The scenery was breathtaking, and the experience was unforgettable.
The kayak tour on the Reinefjord was my favorite activity. Our guide was wonderful and made the experience unforgettable. Although we didn't get to see any orcas in the fjord, the conditions were perfect, and the overall experience was amazing.
Dear Theresa,
Since we started our conversation, you have been the best coworker and helper in putting together this trip.
It is surprising to see how connection and respect between people can work so well sometimes, even through a screen.
I felt part of your group before and during your holiday.
You and Kim have been incredibly nice and kind.
I wish we can connect again soon, for your second visit in this beautiful country that has become my home.
Or I would be delighted to visit once your place.
No doubts, I want you as my personal travel designer. :)
Yours Sincerely
Mathia
