Tour Itinerary
You’ve been looking for Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, and Vixen in all the wrong places. Pack your binoculars for Norway’s natural wonders, including its scenic Hardangervidda mountain plateau, home to Northern Europe’s largest stock of reindeer. Of course, this gorgeous expanse of land and its antlered residents aren’t the only gifts Norway bestows upon its guests—extraordinary fjords, serene lakes, gleaming glaciers, and thundering waterfalls are all part of the bow-topped package, and this breathtaking tour of Norway presents the most spectacular ways to see them. Cross the orchard-lined Hardangerfjord by ferry, witness the UNESCO-protected Nærøyfjord aboard a relaxing cruise, and revel in the spectacular Nordfjord views aboard the Loen Skylift, Norway’s newest aerial tramway. Beginning and ending in Oslo, this encompassing tour of Norway balances the country’s charming, timeless villages with the surprising architecture and energy of its capital city.

Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
Linh was very helpful and answered my questions immediately. I would definitely recommend affordable tours and Linh.
We were completely satisfied with our tour with Globus.
I really enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide was excellent and shared lots of facts with us about Norway and Norwegians. The hotels and food were amazing. I would recommend anyone to take this trip or trip to Norway!
Outstanding tour guide and driver...well planned.
Enjoyed the trip and everything was as advertised. would have liked to spend more time in Bergen and perhaps less time in Loen.
The tour far exceeded my expectations. The tour director was great and very helpful in dealing with the damage to my suitcase by a hotel porter.
Norway is a beautiful country. The scenery is breathtaking. The tour by Globus was superior in many ways. The tour director, coach driver, and hotels were top notch.
three of the hotels did not make it to the 4 star category, no coffee, no ice, no heat or A/C
The tour was great! The only thing that was bad was our 5 hour wait for a connection on our way home in Chicago. We had been traveling for 24 hours and this wait was really hard. It may have been united airlines fault.
1. Some hotels were inferior in quality to the others. They should be rated standard, not first class. Examples are the hotels in Lillehammer, Loen, and Stalheim. 2. The farewell dinner should be held in a separate restaurant. Just having another buffet dinner is nothing special and is anti-climactic. Globus used to do better.
Our trip to Norway far exceeded my expectations. Our guide was very knowledgeable and professional. I would travel with him again! Our bus driver was awesome. He was all business when driving and did a great job navigating us through the twisting turning narrow roads. As well as keeping us out of the ditches. Our bus was always clean (very clean) and comfortable. Rooms were all very nice, clean and comfortable. Food was mostly buffet during lunch and dinner, it was all very good with some local flavors as well.
A great job was done by our agent, she was a very big help to us in making the decision for this trip. I think the Bergen area should have been a driving tour, the cobblestones made walking difficult and we only got to see the area around our hotel, leaving us to find our way during "free time".
The trip ,scenic Norway totally lived up to the word scenic. It was a bus trip that had enough ferry rides to balance the scency. It included good hotels in small ,towns.
Only problems were with British Airlines (which I booked) both our departure and return flights were cancelled. I don't know if others have had this problem with the airlines. Our tour guide and bus driver were both excellent!
Our tour guide in the Scenic Norway tour was great. She was helpful, knowledgable, patient and really pleasant to be with. The hotels are generally very nicely located, close to the city and sights, and food was great.
This style of trip with a group of ~40 people is not how we usually travel. We went to be with my brother. Even though the trip was great, I doubt we will do much like it again.
