Customer reviews
thought. The walking tour in Bergen was a highlight, the snowmobiling and dog sledding we're exciting and the people were very kind. The independent nature of this trip was ideal with a full clear itinerary. The hotels were top notch and the breakfasts were excellent. Bobby was available if we had any problems which we did not. Highly recommend!
