Embracing the essence of travel for me is the joy of connecting with locals who passionately share their lifework. These individuals, often artisans and storytellers, are deeply immersed in the arts of farming, harvesting, foraging, cooking, brewing, distilling, or other culinary pursuits.
My insider advice is to embark on a culinary journey through Norway, savoring the opportunity to actively participate in the harvesting of flavors from both land and sea. Beyond the burgeoning Michelin-starred scene, you'll soon unveil the rich tapestry of Norway's culinary landscape, woven together by the genuine tales and skills of its people.

"Up Norway planned an 8-day trip for our group—9 family members ranging in age from 16 to 80. They came up with an itinerary that suited us perfectly. Fantastic hotels and and a mix of activities. Everything went smoothly, but they were available when we needed them (like when one of us left a suitcase at a hotel!). Love their eco-conscious approach and would definitely recommend them.

"My wife was talking to a friend several months ago and she was telling her about a trip her and her husband had taken a year ago to Norway, using Up Norway to make their plans for them. We decided it sounded like a great trip so we utilized Up Norway to make our plans for us and we couldn't have been happier.
We had a few discussions with them and told them that we liked to be moderately active, enjoyed seeing as much of the country as possible without being rushed, enjoy good food, coffee shops and nice places to stay. Up Norway put together the perfect trip staying within our time frame and hit on all our desires. We stayed in Oslo, a charming farm to table upscale B&B, a fantastic fishing village, an amazing resort at the end of a fjord surrounded by towering mountains and a night in a mid-size ocean front town. Each place was unique and I couldn't even begin to describe each one. We traveled by train, private car & ferries. The drivers we had with the private cars were a great part of our trip and provided a ton of information and went way out of their way to make our travel extremely easy & enjoyable. The ferries and train were also wonderful, The scenery from both was always amazing and it made for an extremely stress free journey.
The recommendations from Up Norway were spot on and the activities they planned for us at each stop were wonderful. We were able to download our trip plans to an app on our phones which provided us a day by day itinerary with extremely detailed information to make our travel very easy. Of course we wish we had more time to explore on our trip but that's what next time will be for. We would highly recommend visiting Norway and utilizing the services provided by Up Norway.

"Recommend 100%. Up Norway people were very attentive and our trip went incredibly smoothly. First time in Norway- we wanted a tailored experience and time built in so we could visit family who we had never met before. They tailored a trip for us to see specific things that we were interested in and time to visit family. We experienced the region where our ancestors came from, and it was absolutely incredible. Even though the weather was rainy, everything was incredibly positive. Do this instead of a huge tour ship!!!
