Norway tour reviews
This was a custom package for 2 people with no guide. Choice of hotels were very good - all centrally located and close to train stations. Enjoyed all the ferry trips. We really enjoyed Flam trip, and the trains to Flam and ferry to Bergen were very enjoyable.
It was all just tremendous. The Fjords, the scenery and landscape are just breath taking. Nacho was very good and the local Tour guides were satisfactory. The Tour ran very smoothly with nobody delaying departure times which made the tour enjoyable.
MichaelEverything, the tour guide was excellent as was the driver, Norway is amazing
LauraMair Duff our guide was amazing lots of extra stops along the way. The trolls road was my favourite with the look outs.
TeriThe tour covered a lot of territory and gave a really good overview of Norway.It was a lot of sitting on the bus, but I understand that was necessary in order to cover the amount of country that we saw.
Why visit Norway
Norway is built for unforgettable scenery, from steep-sided fjords and glacier valleys to coastal towns with colorful harbors. A Norway tour can pair city culture with nature in a way that feels seamless. In Oslo, grand avenues and waterfront neighbourhoods sit close to green spaces, and guided sightseeing often includes landmarks such as Frogner Park, the Royal Palace and Akershus Fortress. Bergen is a classic gateway to the fjords, known for its historic Bryggen Wharf and lively fish market. Beyond the cities, rail and boat journeys are highlights in their own right, including the Flåmsbana and cruises through fjords such as Sognefjord, Aurlandsfjord, Nærøyfjord, Geiranger Fjord and Lysefjord. Further north, Tromsø and the Lofoten region add a different character, with Sami culture experiences, wildlife opportunities and seasonal phenomena like the Northern Lights and the midnight sun.
Plan your perfect trip to Norway
How long in Norway?
When is the best time to visit Norway?
Summer is the classic time for the fjords, with long days, every route open and the midnight sun in the north. Late spring and early autumn are quieter, with waterfalls in full flow as the snow melts and the first northern lights returning in September. Winter brings snowy fjord journeys by rail, festive Christmas and New Year trips, and aurora hunts around Tromsø.
Spring to autumn ranges are average daily lows and highs for Bergen and the fjords. Winter ranges are for Tromsø, where the northern lights trips are based, and inland valleys can be colder still.
Before you go
A few practical tips to help you travel smart and make the most of your time in Norway.
Money
Norway uses the Norwegian krone. Cards and contactless are accepted almost everywhere, including for small purchases, so you will rarely need cash. Tipping is not expected, though rounding up for good service is appreciated.
What to pack
Layers and a waterproof jacket at any time of year, as the weather on the fjords can change quickly, plus comfortable shoes for walks and viewpoints. In summer an eye mask helps under the midnight sun in the north. For winter in Tromsø, bring thermal base layers, a warm hat, gloves and insulated boots, and ice grips are useful on frozen pavements.
Food & drink
Look out for fresh salmon, cod and prawns, creamy fish soup in Bergen, sweet brown cheese on waffles and reindeer dishes in the north. Tap water is excellent and safe to drink. Wine and stronger drinks are sold only in the state-run Vinmonopolet shops, with shorter opening hours than supermarkets.
Safety
Norway is a very safe country to travel in. The main things to plan for are the weather and terrain, so stay on marked paths, keep back from cliff edges and fast-flowing water, and take extra care on icy surfaces in winter.
Frequently asked questions
Are Norway tours fully guided?
Most Norway group tours are fully guided, with a tour escort throughout and local guides in Oslo and Bergen, including Fjords, Charms & Traditions (eight days), Magic of the Fjords (seven days) and the Oslo to Stavanger Fjord Journey (eight days). Larger bus tours such as the Nordic Capitals Discovery Adventure are partially guided, with free time in each city. Some winter and festive trips are semi-independent, with shared activities but no escort. Private trips are mostly self-guided.
What is included on a Norway tour?
Group tours usually include hotels, daily breakfasts and transport by bus, train and ferry. Fjord itineraries build in the scenic journeys, such as the Flåm Railway and a cruise on the Geirangerfjord or Sognefjord, along with guided sightseeing in Oslo and Bergen. The number of included dinners varies by tour, so check each itinerary.
What will I see on a tour of Norway?
Classic fjord tours cover Oslo, Bergen's Bryggen Wharf, the Flåm Railway, the Geirangerfjord, the Briksdal Glacier, the Atlantic Road and Trollstigen. In the Arctic north, trips take in Tromsø, the Lofoten Islands and the North Cape. Spectacular Svalbard (six days) flies from Oslo to Longyearbyen for a snowmobile safari and an ice cave visit.
Can I take a private or self-drive tour of Norway?
Yes, private trips make up a large share of Norway itineraries. Oslo to Bergen (seven days) travels by rail and fjord cruise, while the Norwegian Fjords Self Drive (eight days), Tromso to the North Cape Self Drive (seven days) and Lofoten Islands Self Drive (10 days) include a rental car with unlimited mileage. Drivers must be aged 25 or over on the self-drive trips. For a longer journey, the Scenic Norway Self-Drive runs for 14 days.
Can I combine Norway with other countries?
Yes, several tours start in Oslo and continue across Scandinavia. The Nordic Capitals Discovery Adventure (eight days) adds Sweden, Finland and Estonia, while Fjords, Charms, Traditions & Stockholm (10 days) ends in the Swedish capital. Lofoten, North Cape & Lapland (12 days) crosses the Arctic through Norway, Finland and Sweden.
Where can I see the northern lights in Norway?
Tromsø is the main base, well inside the Arctic Circle. Polar Nights in Northern Norway (five days) includes a northern lights cruise, and Tromso and the Northern Lights (five days) pairs an aurora watch with a husky safari at Malangen. The Tromso Arctic Experience (six days) includes a northern lights chase on a wider route through Lofoten, Narvik and Harstad. The season runs from around September to March, and clear skies matter more than the month.
How many days do you need in Norway?
Three days is enough for a city getaway in Oslo or Bergen. Seven to eight days suits a classic fjord journey between Oslo and Bergen. To add the Lofoten Islands or the far north, allow 12 to 14 days, as on the Best of Norway & Lofoten Midnight Sun (13 days).
When is the best time to visit Norway?
June to August is the best time for the fjords, with long days, every route open and the midnight sun in the north. Late spring and September are quieter, with waterfalls in full flow in May and June and the northern lights returning in early autumn. From November to March, trips focus on snowy fjord rail journeys, Christmas and New Year breaks and aurora hunts around Tromsø.
