We are keen for as many customers as possible to review their holiday. To make it easier to do so, we include a specific review section on our post-holiday questionnaire, and this is what we publish here, unedited. Read our full review policy >
There were so many highlights, starting with Bergen and the gorgeous visit to Grieg's House at Troldhaugen with a phantastic midday concert and all n blazing sunshine. Later the amazing and comprehensive Edward Munch exhibition, which had just oepend at the Kode museum.
On the middle section of the journey to Balestrand, Fjaerland with its experience of the glacier and then Flam we experienced violent rainstorms for 3 days, with only glimpses of sunshine, and even snow which did not stop us from walking and discovering sodden bookshelves in Fjaerland and glorious forrest and views form some moutain tops ! The contrasts were brilliant and the waterfalls everywhere in fullest flow!! And then we arrived in lovely, interesting Oslo in warm sunshine, where there are so many must sees.. On the last day of the holiday we did have a private mission to attend the opening of the "Twist", the new museum at Kistefos , north east of Oslo, it opened with a brilliant exhibition : Inside Out, Howard Hodkin and Martin Creed,(who happens to be our son!), with Queen Sonja in attendance.
Our adventure through Norway was a truly memorable one with Inntravel’s organisation of the trip being impeccable as always. The holiday consisted of continual highlights and we would certainly recommend that the optional extension to Fjaerland should be added as a permanent part of the itinerary as the visit to the glacier museum (and glacier) plus the dinners at the Fjaerland Fjordstue Hotel are not to be missed. Thank you again Inntravel.
Overall we had an excellent holiday and all the travel arrangements worked perfectly. We were very impressed by the detailed information contained in the holiday pack, especially the recommended city walks, places to visit, nature walks, places to eat, etc, given we had limited time in each place. We particularly enjoyed the Lofoten Islands, helped by dry, sunny weather which we had for the whole two weeks. We would definitely recommend the Fjaerland extension for a true experience of Norway.

A superb taster of the wonders of Norway.
This was a wonderful holiday from start to finish and we loved every minute of it, helped no doubt by having more than our fair share of sunshine and blue skies thoughout our 17-day stay. We really appreciated that each stage of the holiday had been carefully planned by Inntravel not only to provide an overview of the many delights that Norway has to offer but also so that each transfer from one place to the next felt very much part of the holiday itself. It does make a difference when we could step off each boat and be in easy walking distance of the next hotel. The only exception here was in Oslo but the transfers by rail on arrival and by airport bus on return were very straightforward.
We would definitely recommend extending the trip with the two-day stay at Fjaerland - it was lovely to stay in this very small hotel in a beautiful location, great for walking, and with a very personal style of service, especially for the evening meals of locally prepared food.
Also we were pleased that we had opted to upgrade our room in Bergen to get a very spacious room with a balcony overlooking the water and Brygge. Not all the other rooms we had were quite as luxurious as this one, but what they lacked in space they made up with character, and we had no problems at all with comfort or noise.
We extended our stay in Olso by an extra night, making full use of our Oslo passes to get free use of the trams and boat transfers to get to the out-of-town museums and sculpture parks. The pass also gives 20% discount in a range of restaurants (every bit helps in Norway!) and can recommend the fish at the Cafe Christiania, quite close to the hotel. In Bergen, we had a lovely meal at the Spisekroken restaurant, a little away from the more touristy areas, but a nice place for a special meal.
All in all, we had a great holiday and would love to do it all again one day.
This was a very good introduction to Norway. We loved the variety of places, types of transport and scenery it provided. The hotels were generally of a good standard and comfortable and the transport arrangements worked very well with a comprehensive information pack with useful maps included. As seniors, we felt the Oslo pass was a bit expensive as most museums seemed to offer a reduced rate and we didn't quite get the full benefit of it. One tip: if you are planning to see the Viking Museum in Oslo, go early, as later on tour groups are very much in evidence and make it hard to see things. The Fram museum is wonderful. The Lofoten Islands are stunning and this was undoubtedly our holiday highlight although Fjaerland was wonderful too.
