Explore Flåm by coach on a five-hour tour featuring Stegastein, Borgund Stave Church, snowy mountain roads, and Lærdal village.

Review of the Haugesund shore trip to Åkrafjorden and Langfoss waterfall, with itinerary details, value advice, guide tips, and practical FAQs.
“It’s an hour and a half bus ride to the falls. But our guide was very entertaining during the ride. We enjoyed seeing he old church and I particularly liked the lullaby that was sung to keep the trolls asleep.”
Review of Olden’s Briksdal Glacier shore excursion, with hiking details, transport tips, price advice, weather notes, and booking guidance.
“Had a great time. The hike took 30-40 mins. Can be a bit of a steep incline but the view is worth it. We had plenty of time to see the glacier, eat, and visit the gift shop. Very knowledgeable tour guide. The bus space was tight but it was a double decker”
Review of Ålesund’s Fjords to Trolls shore excursion, with fjords, Gudbrandsjuvet, Trollstigen views, lunch, timing, value, and tips.
“The tour was good but needs improvement starting with the lunch stop that probably should’ve been 30 to 45 minutes at most. I do feel that the tour had cut it very close to missing the all aboard time. And there was some delays with traffic on the Troll road so it made me a little bit nervous to making it back. I understand it’s beyond your control but I do feel that lunch stop should’ve been shortened or skipped and spend some more time at the visitor center or to be able to take more time back to the ship just Incase there is an increase in traffic back.…”
Explore Ålesund’s art nouveau center, Sunnmøre Museum, and Alnes Lighthouse on a four-hour shore excursion with scenic island views.
“The "ultimate turen" was well-organised and clearly designed to accommodate a broad audience, but the experience felt largely like a standard "drop-off" tour without much depth. The guide was fluent in both English and German and delivered the information with enthusiasm, but the content came across as rather superficial and tailored to very general crowd. For us personally, the tour did not quite live up to expectations, and we didn't feel it was with the price.”
Review of Bergen’s six-hour Hardangerfjord waterfall tour, with scenic drives, Norheimsund, Steinsdalsfossen, practical tips, and value advice.
“We had an incredible tour today! Our guide, Bailey, was not only entertaining but also deeply knowledgeable about Norway even though he is from Australia! He shared fascinating insights throughout the journey. His warm and engaging manner made everyone feel welcome and ensured we all had a memorable experience. Our driver was equally kind and accommodating, adding to the overall satisfaction of the trip. Truly a delightful and enriching day!”

“Great scenery, several stops off the bus. Sweet friendly guides. Adapted tour well. Would do again.bbbbbb”
Hike to Briksdal Glacier from Olden on a scenic four-hour shore excursion with mountain views, waterfalls, transport, and a ship guarantee.
“Wonderful experience and very informative guide sharing her love of nature in Norway. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in a good hike through nature and to stunning views.”
Review of Oslo’s hop-on hop-off shore excursion, with port stops, museum tips, timing, value, audio guide issues, and advice for cruise passengers.
“The audio was not continuous with large gaps of no commentary. The second level plastic curtain was hooked by the trees and kept ripping away from the supports and created issues and was dangerous. We were never told what channel to use and luckily another customer informed us. With the rain, you couldn’t see out the windows (no wiper blades). The salesman was friendly but didn’t feel the trip was worth the money”
Review of the 7.5-hour Geiranger shore excursion from Hellesylt, with Stryn, Hornindal Lake, glaciers, Dalsnibba, and cruise protection.
“The trip was very well organised: regular stops, a comfortable bus, and a wonderful lady driver. Thank you!”
