Was easy to follow the directions getting from place to place. The sights seen were amazing! Would highly recommend this trip. Was a lot fun!
Dear Julie, Thank you for a great review. We are happy that you enjoyed the magnificent Norway and that instructions were clear! We will be happy to welcome you in Norway again! Best regards, Arsenii Easy Travel Team
Well worth a self tour if first timer to Norway. Instructions are clear and accurate. Unfortunately our return train to Oslo was cancelled when we already commenced the tour but they contacted us via email and provided alternatives back to Oslo.
Hi Han, Glad to hear our self-guided tour was easy to follow and a good option for your first visit to Norway. That’s exactly what we aim for with the instructions :D Sorry again about the train cancellation on your return - those situations are never ideal, but I’m glad our team could reach you in time and help arrange an alternative back to Oslo. We appreciate your understanding and hope you still had a great overall trip. Best regards, Elena Easy Travel Team
The experience, although self-guided, was very well organized. All the various tickets were in proper order and easily accessed on my phone. I received an email the morning of my trip which contained the links to all the tickets and a reminder of the details of the itinerary.
Tour was good and there was sufficient time for everything. Instructions were clear as well. One down side that I experienced with Viator was this: During the bus 950 ride from Gudvangen to Voss train station, there were roadworks which delayed our arrival time at Voss train station. I was scheduled to be on the 7.13pm train from Voss to Bergen. When I checked with Viator if there would be a refund or reimbursement if I were to miss the train due to the unforeseen roadworks, the response I got was disappointing. It was a stressful bus ride. As we cannot foresee any future unforeseen circumstances, I would suggest anyone who would want to do the same tour to book with Norway's Best instead. They provide an open ticket within the same day which eliminates any unnecessary stress.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the tour and found the instructions clear. We always do our best to ensure our guests make all connections and reach their destinations smoothly, even when unexpected delays occur.
Great experience! I appreciate the itinerary created for us for the self guided tour. Def recommend the sleeping compartment on the overnight train!
The journey is long but not really exhausting. Highly recommended for a short visit to Norway. It was beautiful!
Wonderful experience, must do activy, most memorable of Norway.it was not difficult to follow the instructions given and had enough time to see and enjoy each city
Wonderful place. We enjoyed every second of our trip. Unforgettable memories. We love the trip and we will came back to explore the beautiful country!!
Wonderful experience. Must do the aleeper car! Beautiful fjords, nice food trucks at Flåm. Good dinner in Bergen. Back to Oslo by 7am.
Be inquisitive, walk around as much as your legs permit especially in Berggen. If you have time then 1 day each in flam, woss and berggen will be worth
