Reviews and Testimonials

"We have two weeks adventure arranged by Up Norway. My wife and I would consider this trip is the most memorable and joyful one. Our itinerary : Oslo-->Åndalsnes-->Øye-->Kalvåg-->Fjaerland-->Bergen. When designing the trip, we asked about nature, outdoor exploration and relaxing atmosphere during these two weeks. It all met our requirement. Basically we stayed two nights in Oslo, then we traveled by train to Åndalsnes, picked up our rental car; full day hiking the next day. Then we travelled to Øye, had a photography trip with a local photographer. Then we headed to the coast, enjoying three nights in this beautiful and traditional fishing village, Kalvåg where we had two hiking trips. After Kalvåg, we drove to Fjaerland, relaxing for a half day and did one more hike the next day. Finally we drove to Bergen and returned the car and spent two nights in Bergen. Overall we had 4 hikes: 1. Romsdaleseggen in Åndalsnes (10k hike with great elevation and challenging terrain, high level of thrilling, but the view up in the summit was rewarding! Pls see the attached picture) 2. Hike in Bremangerlandet (7-8K, Easy gravel walk, weather was raining, foggy, cloudy and misty, but that's Norway) 3. Dosabu Cabin in Kalvåg (7 k, nice weather) 4. Molden (Mt Molden) in Hafslo (8K +, again, perfect weather!) We enjoyed the hiking so much. The view up in the mountain with the fjords as the backdrop was fantastic! As a photography enthusiast, I also asked Up Norway to arrange a local photographer for me to do some serious photo shooting. I had Sverre Hjelmeland spending the whole morning with us. He knows the place so well and their were loads of stories being told. My best photos were not taken that morning (b'coz light and weather were not perfect), but it ended up a house visit to his home and got to know more about his stories and stuffs of the country! The most memorable activity was having wild fire delicious coffee with Sverre by the fjord! On our last two days, it happend that their beloved King Harald V passed away. We witnessed the sorrow of the people and we hope they will get over it and keep moving on! During the trip, Up Norway provided us the digital itinerary and we could reach out for any question and support. So far the response were quite fast and prompt. The arrangement was great. The only complaint was there was no bathroom on suite in the hotel in Åndalsnes (Hotel Aak). I do think there are many rooms having on suite bathroom. Since we booked the trip quite long time ago, I believe this should have been done better or we should be informed before check-in. Otherwise we should have other options. Hope all of you have a great trip in Norway.

"(Translated by Google) Upnorway organized a fantastic train tour for us, from Oslo to the Arctic Circle, ending in the Lofoten Islands. Everything was well-organized, the guides were engaging, and the suggested visits and restaurants were perfect. We discovered a magnificent country and had a wonderful trip with friends thanks to Karin and the Upnorway team! (Original) Upnorway nous a préparé un super circuit en train de Oslo au cercle artique, qui s’est achevé aux Lofoten. Tout était bien organisé, les guides étaient passionnants, les propositions de visites et de restauration parfaites. Nous avons découvert un magnifique pays, et fait un très beau voyage entre copains grâce à Karin et la team d’Upnorway!

"We truly enjoyed the itinerary and loved the places that were selected. Excellent service by all the UPNORWAY team.

"Up Norway did an excellent job for us. We’d never been to Norway before and they proposed a really good itinerary which we then discussed and they slightly tweaked. The accommodation, transport and activities were all great. The app worked really well: itinerary, tickets and general info easily available, and all the restaurant recommendations were really good. The support while we there was also really good. I definitely recommend.
