Reviews and Testimonials

"It’s been over a week since we returned home, yet part of our hearts is still in Norway. Our journey with Up Norway was nothing short of exceptional. From the first message to the final farewell, everything flowed seamlessly — every detail perfectly handled, every question answered with care and speed. The personal touches made all the difference: the lovely welcome letter in Oslo (and the delicious chocolate made with Peruvian cacao!) set the tone for a truly thoughtful experience. What could have been a setback — the cancellation of our Norway in a Nutshell tour — became one of the best surprises of the trip. Driving from Oslo to Voss instead turned into pure magic: breathtaking landscapes, endless photo stops, and that exhilarating sense of freedom only Norway’s open roads can offer. Voss itself was unforgettable, and the one-day Norway in a Nutshell from there felt like the perfect complement to our road adventure. Later, in Ålesund, a chance encounter at a cozy antique shop led to local advice that guided us away from rough weather on the Atlantic Road and toward the charming fishing village of Alnes — an absolute gem. Throughout it all, Up Norway’s professionalism, flexibility, and genuine human warmth stood out. Even the smallest adjustments were handled with such ease that they felt like part of the plan. And the Up Norway app deserves its own praise — intuitive, beautifully designed, and flawlessly synchronized with our itinerary. This was not just a trip; it was a series of unforgettable moments made possible by people who truly care. We can’t recommend Up Norway highly enough.

"Up Norway made suggestions and handled all aspects of a long trip throughout Norway and were 100% fabulous. All details were so clearly laid out in one of the best apps I have ever used. I would recommend them without reservation. Happy Traveling!

"My husband, son, and I did a modified version of the Arctic Circle Express Train journey, traveling from Oslo to Aurland to Bergen to Alesund to Andalsnes to Tondheim and back to Oslo. We had an amazing time!! The app made everything seamless. It had a daily itinerary with all hotels and travel tickets included. It was filled with suggestions for things to do and places to eat. The dinners that were included were fabulous, and the hotels were all unique and centrally located. We traveled by train, ferry, and overnight cruise ship, and had a great experience on all. The activities that were included (hikes for us) were absolutely fantastic, with personable and knowledgeable guides. I highly recommend using UpNorway for your travel plans and would not hesitate to travel with them again!!

"Five stars for sure! My husband and I were so pleased with the trip that Up Norway put together for us. The fact that we initially were asked to provide a complete, well almost complete, bio on each of us helped to tailor the trip to fit us perfectly. We had never been to Norway and didn’t know much about traveling in the country, so having somebody put together the trip plan was a plus. Also, to have the trip prepaid was an extra bonus. No worrying about dollar conversions or second guessing yourself about paying too little or too much. The accommodations were top notch, and the food was exceptional. Norway is a beautiful, friendly country.
