Testimonials:

We had a wonderful time, the trip was amazing and well organized with every connection clearly well 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!

This was a wonderful time spent in Lofoten. Our guide Olaf took us the best places to catch Aurora and to create beautiful photos. Our Northern Lights tour was incredible, and we took great photos to remember our trip. Thank you for this experience and we will contact Nordic saga Tours for more tripd to Norway. Best regards, Miro Ko
