Customer reviews & ratings
Overall I am so glad that I signed up for this adventure, it was an amazing experience and left me excited about what adventure to undertake next. One minor item I would note is that I would have preferred to have the cost of the lunches included in the total cost. I appreciate that leaving them out allowed people the flexibility to choose different options but I would rather have had the cost of the lunches included in the overall cost of the trip so that I would not have had to think about it. I feel that G Adventures is a leader in this style of travel and has figured out how to do it well.
Kathryn Oct, 2024 VerifiedEsther really made this trip amazing. Not only is she kind and caring, but her knowledge of all things Norway was really great. She even went to the trouble of baking me a birthday cake on her "day off" and made me some gifts which was totally unexpected but so sweet. The tour in itself and all of the activities were absolutely amazing, but Esther truly made the experience so much better. Everything was set out for us and Esther was really great.
