Ten Day Norway Itineraries

First, do not send me a water bottle; I have more than enough. Overall, we had a great trip to Norway, with a good balance between time in the cities of Stavanger, Bergen, and Oslo, and rural retreats. We stayed in fine old hotels in magnificent settings on the Geiranger and Lustra fjords. We reveled in a quieter pace, with more time to enjoy nature. Our agent selected terrific hotels in each setting and, during the trip, was attentive to our needs and responsive when some minor problems arose.

The four of us really enjoyed the trip Zicasso's tour planner created for us. She was responsive and quick to reply to our questions, including while on the trip. We visited Bergen, Odda, Trolltunga, Aurland, Ålesund, and Oslo. Our highlights were Trolltunga and Aurland. We would have gladly traded an extra day at Aurland and skipped the Flåm railroad, as that was too touristy for our taste, but we can only say that after having been there.

Zicasso’s travel specialist was outstanding and helpful through the whole process. The trip met all of our needs. It was well planned out and hit the highlights of each city (Oslo to Flåm to Bergen).

The accommodations in each location were outstanding and when we had a question, we got prompt responses. From our hotel in Oslo (centrally located, quaint and small boutique) to the waterside hotel in Flåm with epic views and a great restaurant, to our hotel in Bergen overlooking the Brygge UNESCO site and 1,000km to the Floibergen, the rooms were clean, comfortable, and really great.

The walking tours in Oslo and Bergen were great. The air, train, and bus transits were smooth (after a first-day Oslo arrival snafu, which was not the travel company’s problem, but which was resolved effectively by the travel specialist) throughout the entire trip.

The recommendations for activities (not included) were great, with the highlights being the Oslo Cultural Museum. I took hundreds of photos and came home with countless great memories.

Thank you for putting together a great trip to Norway.

Our Norway experience was better than we could have imagined. We chose to visit Norway as a way to complete our "bucket-list" goal of experiencing the Northern Lights (aurora). Zicasso's travel agency helped us experience not only the aurora, but also the unique and impressive Norwegian culture and landscape. 

Our accommodations were exceptional in all three of the regions we visited. We were most impressed with the cabins in Svolvaer in the Lofoten Islands. The authentic red cabin right on the water was charming and peaceful; a perfect blend of historic and modern. 

All of our transportation was pre-planned, safe, and dependable. 

We asked the team to make dinner reservations for us in each region we visited. Our agent made excellent recommendations and the restaurants were welcoming, with delicious dining options. 

The travel app was one of the best I've ever seen. It was comprehensive, with detailed daily itineraries, weather, travel documents, maps, and more. The team was responsive to all of our communications and highly accommodating. 

Norway is a beautiful country, full of friendly and adventurous people! 

Additional highlights of the trip included dog sledding in the beautiful Reisa National Park, sea kayaking through the fjords of Lofoten Islands, the lodge on Uloya Island (which hosts royalty, apparently!), an overnight cruise through the Arctic Circle, and, of course, the aurora lights. All of this was expertly prepared by the team at the travel agency. We could not have been happier with this trip!
