Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

We had a good trip in Norway, and our stay at the hotel in Aurland was everything we hoped for. Our guide was so knowledgable, able to access our skill level in hiking, and was as good as it gets in guides. Being in Aurland, versus Flam, was more peaceful and much more authentic in being away from the tourists and experiencing Norwegian life. Our stay in Bergen was delightful, and the individual food and walking tour everything we hoped. We asked for dinner recommendations ahead of time, and Anna suggested as one of the places, Cornelius. It was an incredible experience.
The Oslo portion of the tour was also very good, with a private walking tour, as well as a private bike tour. Both guides were knowledgable and personable. We left feeling we not only had a better understanding of the city, but also the Nordic way of life.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

We enjoy both city and more countryside visits. The time in Aurland was magical, seeing so many waterfalls (including from our bedroom window), and hiking a mountain to have a majestic view of a fjord.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

We would spend more time in the countryside, enjoying the fjords even more.
