Wonderful Tour from an Excellent Vendor - When we got off the ship, comfortable buses were waiting for us. There were 3 buses with passengers just from my ship. The tour company Lofoton Lights was very organized communicating to us prior to the day of the tour about the timing of a tunnel closure and guiding us into the buses which were quickly filled and we left immediately. Our Guide Geir was excellent, very informative. During the bus ride he gave us a lot of information about Norway and the area we were visiting. The scenery during the bus ride and the places we visited were beautiful even in the rain, and fog that we unfortunately had throughout the day. We made a couple of photo stops before the rain started. Then we had one hour in A (pronounced O). It was a lovely town where one hour would have been so enjoyable if it wasn't raining. We also had one hour in Reine. The bus parks about 1/2 mile from the bridge where a beautiful view used in advertisements of this "most beautiful place in Norway". It was an easy 10-15 minute walk. It was very pretty but it would have been stunning if the weather cooperated. On the way back to the ship, there were a few photo stops but many people didn't get out of the bus, sadly, due to the weather. I would recommend this tour. Just hope for good weather.

Great Tour of One of the Prettiest Places Imaginable - An excellent visit to one of the prettiest places on earth! The Lofoten Islands are surely one of the most picturesque places on this planet. This tour took us around the islands to a sampling of the sights and villages. Had plenty of stops for pics and a nice stop in a couple small villages for snacks and wandering. Lofoten is lovely from a cruise ship, but you really need to drive around a bit to get the best sites. This tour provided that and I would do it again!

Bus tour - Beautiful scenery and good narration. The weather was not good but it was still a good way to see some of the iconic sights of the area. I wish we could have stopped more often for some photo opportunities.

Okay tour - Just okay. Got to see lots of the local area. Much more walking than was advertised. Norway can be very wet and cold so unadvertised walking was a problem. Tour guide was very good. Timing back to cruise ship was perfect.

Missed Tour Due to Lack of Directions/Signage, No Refund - Upon arrival at the port from the cruise ship, we found no signs of where to go upon arrival at port. Unlike other tour busses there who had tour guides or drivers waiting by the dock with signs, nobody there seemed to know that a "Leknes port: Special Summer Guided Tour of Lofoten" existed. Eventually all the busses left and we had to accept that the tour left without us. We reached out afterwards but was not given a refund even though we were physically there on location but missed the tour due to poor signage.
