The journey ends with a return to the cruise terminal, along with a collection of unforgettable moments and breathtaking photographs.

  • The number of booster seats (infants seats) are limited so it is always a good idea to bring one just in case.

Interesting tour with very pretty stops - We chose this bus tour because following a leg injury I can ‘t walk far . The stops were all at beautiful places and the guide Alfonse was a mine of information about the history and life in Norway. The company was very efficient- we booked online and they were waiting at the terminal as soon as we got off the ship., and arrived back promptly. The bus driver was very kind in ensuring I got on and off the bus safely. I’d highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see and get to know about the area.

Good trip but stops a little short - Overall this is a very good trip with plenty of information given by the guide. The one small criticism would be that the time given at each stop was short, especially at the harbour town, therefore a large proportion of the time was sitting on the coach.

Exceptionally interesting Guide - Drove through a lot of 'ordinary' Norway which gave us a glimpse of day to day life and roads. All the stopping places were interesting, tho' stopping times were short. The (German-born) guide on the coach was exceptional. We learnt so much and he really made the trip for us.
