Ten Day Norway Itineraries

Our Zicasso travel agent and her company were extremely helpful and professional. Our agent worked with me to design a trip to Norway for my husband and my cousin (and his wife and adult daughter) that included the special sights and flexibility for some of the physically limited members of our group to rest. She was very patient as we went through different iterations of what we all wanted. More importantly, whenever I had a question once the trip had commenced, she was very responsive.

We had an amazing trip to Norway in July, starting in Oslo and moving all the way to Ålesund, Flåm, Bergen, Geiranger, and surrounding fjords.

The trip was very well planned by Zicasso’s tour company, giving us a great balance of things to do and time to rest. The variety of transportation we took throughout the trip was really inspirational and memorable.

Our agent did an amazing job of planning and giving support during our vacation. While preparing for the trip, we had multiple meetings with her to figure everything out and be 100% happy with the itinerary. This resulted in us traveling with no worries, despite a relatively large number of different transportation options and locations. During the trip, our agent kept in constant contact to make sure everything was going well and kept us up to date with any changes due to weather, making the entire trip very relaxing. Thank you.

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.

This was a customized trip to the Arctic.  I specified as my 2 primary parameters that we get as far north of the Arctic Circle as possible without being scientists or in the military, and that we spend at least 3 full days in Tromso attending as many concerts as possible at Nordlysfestivalen, the North Lights Festival of international music.  Our trip planner did an admirable job fulfilling both of those criteria.  The trip was well planned, with the northerly part being a 3+ day stay in Longyearbyen on Svalbard, providing the outdoor and physical excitement of the trip, and obligatory time in Tromso, with too-short time in Oslo and Stockholm.
