Trevor Major 9 August 2019
Thanks to Susie at Nordic Saga for all her help in planning this itinerary. Her suggestion of staying in Balestrand instead of Flam was a winner - everyone's favorite stop on the tour. The hotels throughout were fantastic. The included breakfasts were all good and the one dinner in Balestrand was also very good. Temperatures in Norway during our travels were high and the lack of AC in the hotels was a slight hinderence especially in Bergen where it was too hot to close the windows at night but if you didn't the noise from the harbor was also too loud to sleep so not many ZZZ during that stay. Overall high marks all round for a well put together trip. Thank you

Fantastic trip. Our guide, Christhina, took care of all the details and provided wonderful insight of the sites and their history. Accommodations were also very good throughout the trip. Beautiful views of Oslo, Bergen and the fjords. We are already thinking of going back as eight days only whetted our appetite.

My daughter and I learned so much about Norway's culture and geography from our tour guide, Anne Marie. It was a 5 day trip and Anne Marie graciously helped us when our schedule changed. I would definitely recommend Nordic Tours!
Land of the Fjords 29 July 2016
HI Susie !! My trip to Norway with Nordic Saga was just awesome. It was beyond my wildest expectations... The communications were not the best at the beginning of the booking, but once I got started in Oslo, all went well. I loved Robinsons tour guide too. Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the trip. Susan Lunday
