Review Time
We loved our Nordic Saga Norwegian Fjords and Coastline experience. This is an addition to my prior review. Nordic Saga booked an extra day for us in Oslo prior to the formal beginning of the tour. We arrived around 6:30am so had two full days in Oslo before the tour started. I strongly urge everyone to spend an extra one to three days in Oslo. While the official tour has a 3 hour bus/walking tour of Oslo on the last day, the museums not included in that tour are well worth seeing. We bought the Museum Pass and Hop-on-Hop-off bus passes at the visitor center. The National Art Gallery, Munch Museum, Opera House (tickets for the tour not included in the museum pass), Tikki Museum, Nobel Center, and the Norwegian Folk Museum that has old houses from around the country as well as short performances - all are terrific. I wish we had spent a third day to take a tour of the Palace and to spend more time in Vigeland Park (even though the last day tour included the park and the tour guide was great). Unfortunately the Viking ship museum was closed for renovations when we were there but we heard it's great.
We recently returned from a 12 day private tour of Iceland, couldn't be any happier with Dora Rozet at Nordic Saga and with our guide (now friend), Kári Haraldsson. We travel a lot but have very rarely used a travel agent. This was going to be a more complicated trip, though, as my wife has difficulty walking and we really wanted something more in-depth than the big tour or cruise companies could offer. I researched a lot of travel agencies that specialize in Iceland and Scandanavia, had in-depth discussions with the four front runners. Nordic Saga was an excellent choice. After discussing what we wanted to see, date options and especially my wife's limitations, she put together the perfect itinerary. I don't think any tour could have given us a more in-depth and satisfying Iceland experience. I was thrilled with Nordic Saga's professionalism and reliability and with Dora's skill and responsiveness. We're especially thrilled to have been able to work with Kári, I can't imagine a better tour guide. His warmth and friendliness, his genuine drive to customize our experience to our liking, his flawless accommodation of my wife's limitations and his comprehensive knowledge of Iceland was far beyond anything that we expected. I would recommend Nordic Saga without reservation for anyone planning a northern European trip, and would give Kári my highest recommendation for anyone interested in a more personalized Iceland experience.
I have worked with Bobby for 2 vacations, one to Norway and another to Vietnam. I gave him parameters for our needs and he made several great offerings, we chose one and modified it as well, very helpful. He never failed to answer or return a call. He did a great job when our mistake made us miss a flight, rebooking, filing for refunds and getting us on our way. I would highly recommend his services.
This trip is what dreams are made of! Legends of the Fjords was a spectacular journey! Everything was easy and fluid. Our guide, Trond, was outstanding! His zest for his country and history was inspiring. Our driver, Bjorn, was a true delight and absolutely magical, showing up where we needed him when we least expected it! We felt safe and cared for each and every moment of this tour. These two together made our trip most memorable, and we left Norway with two new, dear friends! As far as the sights we saw, they were all breathtaking. We felt like we were walking through a fantasy land. As the tour season was wrapping up, this was a perfect time of year to visit Norway; we felt like we had the country to ourselves. Peaceful, quiet, and serene. Just gorgeous! The accommodations were delightful and comfortable, the food was delicious and abundant. The scheduled afternoon off in Bergen was the perfect timing and perfect spot. We are already thinking about our next adventure to this place and will definitely be using Nordic Saga Tours again soon! Our planner, Dora was attentive and quick to reply to questions. Thank you, Dora! Well done to everyone who had a hand in making this adventure one for the books! ~Reagan LePage
The itinerary was so well laid out and described. We had no problem understanding and following the schedule. We had a fabulous time and would choose Nordicsaga again!! Bobby was very easy to work with and planned an amazing trip.
Dora at Nordic Saga Tours helped us choose an amazing trip, Fabulous Scandinavia, Helsinki, and Tallinn! The trip was extremely well planned, and the execution was flawless. The detailed itinerary captures the highlights of each day, and we were happy we added the optional services. Surprisingly, the 15 days went by fast thanks to our tour director, Juan, who was incredibly knowledgeable, funny and had a great rapport with our whole crew. The activities were perfectly paced, and we were pleased that after a 2–3-hour walking city tour, we had plenty of time to explore on our own, shop and enjoy a relaxed dinner. The hotel rooms were great. This trip was wonderful, and a brief review does not do justice to the wonderful sights and culture of Scandinavia and Tallin (a beautiful medieval town)! We can’t thank Dora enough.
We had a wonderful time in Iceland. Turned out Nordic Saga had placed us in the hands of the oldest touring company in Iceland, GJ (for Gundar Johansson). We traveled in an 8 person van but there were only 4 of us. Our PERFECT guide was Antoine, a mountaineer and fluent in 5 languages, one retired English barrister, and us. The four of us set off on six magical days of adventure. "Guided Circle Tour" goes clockwise around Iceland, right to the northern, eastern and southern shores. In the south we added an exciting trip on a zodiac boat on a glacial lagoon.Antoine changed our itinerary for one night and we saw a beautiful place on the east coast of the island that other tourists don't see.Bill and I hope to go back and see the western fjords someday.Thank you Bobby & Nordic Saga for your help.Lynnette Baughman
We just got back from a tour of Scandinavia and Russia booked with Alex. We really enjoyed the services provided by Borealis Destination Management, most of all the tour leader, Mirjana. She handled our group efficiently and has a wonderful sense of humor. We learned a lot about Russia from Masha in St. Petersburg and Natasha in Moscow. The transportation arrangements went smoothly and we enjoyed the variety of types of travel. Our accommodations were very good. And best of all we were very fortunate to travel with interesting and pleasant people. Thank you Alex for putting together a wonderful trip.
